Researchers have unveiled a new wireless technology that uses tiny lasers to transmit data at incredible speeds of 360 Gbps.

The technology sends data through focused light beams, allowing faster transmission over short and medium distances. Early tests show it uses significantly less power than conventional systems. “This laser-based approach could redefine wireless communication,” said a lead researcher. “It delivers extreme speed while being energy-efficient, which is crucial for the future of mobile networks.”…

Vienna – The financial situation surrounding Essl has entered a decisive stage. Authorities have documented liabilities of 19 million euros, prompting the Vienna Commercial Court to initiate restructuring proceedings without self-administration.

While these figures define the official framework of the case, public discussion has already moved beyond them. Several media reports estimate the overall financial exposure at up to 30 million euros. Should this higher amount be substantiated, it would materially alter…

Strengthening Europe’s Nuclear Presence President Emmanuel Macron is set to detail plans for France to expand its nuclear deterrence role within Europe. Speaking from the Île Longue peninsula, home to the country’s four nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines, Macron will stress that France’s efforts complement, rather than compete with, the US nuclear umbrella. This will be his first major speech on the topic since 2020, when he first proposed involving European partners in exercises — a suggestion that initially went largely unnoticed. Rising Concerns Across the Continent Interest in France’s nuclear capabilities has grown amid shifting global tensions. Russia’s invasion of…
