🤖 Researchers build Wi-Fi chip that can operate inside a nuclear reactor

A team of researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo unveiled a hardened wireless receiver that can withstand prolonged exposure to radiation. This chip was primarily designed to allow robots to work in contaminated areas for decommissioning nuclear reactors.

After the 2011 nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, engineers began using robots to help characterize and clean up the site. The need for such robots is only growing. The receiver endured a total radiation dose of 500 kilograys, orders of magnitude higher than the doses typically tolerated by electronics in outer space.

🇨🇳 China moves to regulate digital humans, bans addictive services for children

China's cyberspace regulator issued draft regulations to oversee the development online of digital humans, requiring clear labelling and banning services ​that could mislead children or fuel addiction. The Cyberspace Administration of ‌China's proposed rules would require prominent "digital human" labels on all virtual human content and prohibit digital humans from providing "virtual intimate relationships" to those under 18, according to rules published ​for public comment until May 6.

The draft regulations would also ban the ​use of other people's personal information to create digital humans without ⁠consent, or using virtual humans to bypass identity verification systems. Digital humans are ​also prohibited from disseminating content that endangers national security, inciting subversion of state power, promoting secession or undermining national unity. Service providers are advised to prevent ​and resist content that is sexually suggestive, depicts horror, cruelty or incites discrimination ​based on ethnicity or region.

🌐 Samsung will discontinue its Messages app in July and replace it with Google's

The Samsung Messages application will be discontinued in July 2026. Samsung also recommended that anyone still using Samsung Messages switch over to Google Messages as the default messaging app.

The switch to Google offers RCS messaging that lets you send high-quality media, join group chats and get real-time typing indicators no matter the smartphone's OS. Galaxy smartphone owners may lose out on some of the Samsung Messages customization options, but Google Messages will make up for it generative AI from Gemini that can remix the photos in chats. On top of those features, Google Messages makes it easier for Samsung users to switch chats between a smartphone, tablet or smartwatch.
