  • London scientist wins major medical prize, UK boosts satellite comms, laser flips magnet, Congo carbon warning, LoL patch, new Apple M5 Macs

    London scientist wins major medical prize, UK boosts satellite comms, laser flips magnet, Congo carbon warning, LoL patch, new Apple M5 Macs
    Mar 5 2026
    a UCL researcher picks up the 2026 Novo Nordisk Prize for work that’s shifting Duchenne muscular dystrophy from “nothing we can do” to “we can actually intervene.” Then the UK Space Agency drops fresh cash on satellite comms, because in 2026 even “space” is basically an internet argument. Elsewhere, researchers flip a magnet with a laser like it’s casual, a Nature paper raises a big red flag about ancient carbon leaking out through Congo Basin la kes, and there’s a quick gaming palate cleanser with League’s latest patch. Oh — and Apple’s here to remind your laptop it’s replaceable. More on all of it at standard.co.uk — and follow Tech and Science Daily from The Standard for your weekday briefing.

  • Met handheld facial recognition pilot, UK 6G security principles, AI paper-faking warning, Nintendo Indie World, and Rainbow Six gets Solid Snake

    Met handheld facial recognition pilot, UK 6G security principles, AI paper-faking warning, Nintendo Indie World, and Rainbow Six gets Solid Snake
    Mar 4 2026
    The Met starts trialling handheld facial recognition ID checks — because apparently London wasn’t futuristic enough already. Then we’ve got the UK laying down security expectations for 6G networks at MWC, plus a proper side-eye moment as new reporting suggests some chatbots will happily fabricate academic papers if you ask nicely. After the break: Nintendo’s Indie World roundup, Rainbow Six Siege drops Operation Silent Hunt with Solid Snake, and Google’s March Pixel Drop quietly upgrades your Pixel while you’re just trying to eat a meal deal in peace.

    Tube fares change, UK tests teen social media limits, iron + blue LED chemistry breakthrough, and Pokémon turns 30
    Mar 3 2026
    Your commute’s doing that thing again: Tube and rail fares are increasing, while buses and trams stay frozen (for now). Alan Leer also dives into the UK’s real-world trial of teen social media limits — bans, curfews, the lot — and what it could mean for platforms and parents alike. Then it’s global gadget season at MWC, where Lenovo and Samsung are pushing the “adaptable devices” future, whether your bank account likes it or not. Plus: a genuinely slick science story where iron and blue LEDs pull off precision chemistry that usually needs rare metals. And in gaming, Pokémon hits the big 3-0.
