[Перевод] У крошечного объекта во внешней части Солнечной системы нашли атмосферу, которой не должно быть

10 января 2024 года тусклая звезда в созвездии Близнецов начала исчезать. Не резко, не сразу, а постепенно — её свет плавно угасал, как будто что-то тёмное скользило перед ней. На трёх станциях по всей Японии астрономы наблюдали кривые блеска на своих мониторах и увидели то, чего не ожидали: постепенное угасание там, где, согласно законам физики, должно было произойти резкое исчезновение.

К 2040 году 6G будут пользоваться миллиарды абонентов — какая судьба может ждать инфраструктуру 4G?

В конце прошлого года аналитики из Ассоциации GSM, представляющей интересы операторов мобильной связи, сделали прогноз: после коммерческого запуска 6G в 2030 году Китаю, странам Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона, государствам Персидского залива, Северной Америке и Европе потребуется около 10 лет для перехода на 6G.Однако по мере того как 6G начнет закрепляться на рынке, операторы, вероятно, начнут сворачивать инфраструктуру 4G — по тому же сценарию, по которому сегодня отключаются сети 3G.
