- 2026, a year of anniversaries: Disney 55, Apple 50, AI 70
In 2026 Walt Disney World turned 55, Apple 50, the term "artificial intelligence" 70 and the FAST radio telescope 10. What these dates have in common.
- FAST turns ten: China's great ear and the signals
China's FAST turned ten in September 2026, with more than 1,300 pulsars. It also searches for signs of technology beyond Earth and so far hears silence.
- SKA: the giant observatory begins to hear hydrogen
In 2025 and 2026 the SKA made its first image, picked up Milky Way hydrogen and linked two dishes as one telescope. What this opens up.
- Breakthrough Listen: ten years listening to the universe
The search for signs of technology beyond Earth closes its planned ten years in 2026. In December 2025 it listened to comet 3I/ATLAS and heard only nature.
- Starlink and radio astronomy: the noise from the sky
Studies from 2024 and 2025 show Starlink satellites leak radio noise that disrupts telescopes, including in protected bands. What is known.
- Post-quantum migration: the 2030 and 2035 deadlines
The US and EU have set dates: algorithms like RSA are phased out between 2030 and 2035, and high-risk uses must migrate by the end of 2030. What it takes.
- BINGO: the backlands radio telescope measuring hydrogen
Being built in Aguiar, Paraíba, BINGO will measure the universe's hydrogen to study dark energy. First signals are expected between 2026 and 2027.
- NIST and post-quantum cryptography: the 2024 standards
On 08/13/2024 NIST released FIPS 203, 204 and 205, the first final post-quantum cryptography standards. HQC followed in 2025 as a backup. What changes.
- Green hydrogen: what the legal framework changes in Brazil
Law 14,948/2024 created Brazil's legal framework for low-carbon hydrogen, and Law 14,990/2024 secured R$ 18.3 billion in credits from 2028 to 2032.
- ITU and satellites: protecting radio astronomy by 2027
At WRC-23, the ITU's 193 countries put protecting radio telescopes from satellites on the 2027 agenda. The hydrogen band is at the center.
