US X-37B Space Plane to Test Quantum Navigation System That Could Replace GPS
The US military’s X-37B space plane will test a quantum inertial sensor for navigation, moving beyond GPS reliance. The technology, based on ultracold atoms, offers precise positioning in deep space, underwater, and GPS-denied zones. If successful, it may transform both defense and future space exploration, marking a critical step in operational ...

Earth’s Spin to Speed Up Briefly, Causing Shorter Days This Summer
Scientists report that Earth will briefly spin faster on July 9, 22, and August 5, shortening those summer days by 1.3 to 1.5 milliseconds. Though undetectable in daily life, this shift offers clues to how lunar gravity and seasonal changes affect planetary dynamics. Experts note that while timekeeping systems like GPS are unaffected, this rare spe...
