Hubble Network became the first company in the world to establish a Bluetooth connection directly with a satellite. The startup launched its first two satellites into orbit as part of the SpaceX Transporter-10 mission in March. The company confirmed that it received signals from the built-in 3.5mm Bluetooth chips from more than 600 kilometers away.

2. Japan Develops the First 6G Device, 20x Faster than 5G

A consortium of companies in Japan has tested the world's first high-speed 6G wireless device, capable of transmitting data at a speed of 100 Gbps over a distance of more than 90 meters — 20 times faster than 5G.

3. Scientists are Turning Printed Circuit Boards into Jelly for Better Recycling

A team led by researchers at the University of Washington developed a new PCB that performs on par with traditional materials and can be recycled repeatedly with negligible material loss. Researchers used a solvent that transforms a type of vitrimer — a cutting-edge class of polymer — into a jelly-like substance without damage, allowing solid components to be plucked out for reuse or recycling. Here, from left to right is a vitrimer-based circuit board, a sheet of glass fibers, vitrimer that’s been swollen and removed from a board, and electrical components such as a computer chip.

Scientists from the University of Washington have developed revolutionary printed circuit boards that partially turn into jelly, making them much easier to recycle and reduce the amount of e-waste.

China has sent a special spacecraft on a big mission to the far side of the moon. It's a historic journey because no other country has tried something like this before. The spacecraft, called Chang'e-6, was carried by China's biggest rocket, the Long March-5. It took off from Wenchang Space Launch Center in southern China. Chang'e-6 weighs more than 8 metric tons, which is quite heavy.
