When GPS Fails: Advantages of Quantum Navigation with Quantum Gyro Sensors

High-precision, high-risk, costly moving objects lack a backup navigation solution. Mostly reliant on GPS—or the Global Positioning System—they present two major weaknesses: low accuracy and poor security. Such problems can be improved with quantum gyro sensors and other elements of quantum positioning systems.

Assessing the Potential Health Impacts of Widespread 5G Implementation

Following backlash from Swiss protestors due to potential health concerns, the European rollout of 5G remains a dubious proposition. Despite the European Parliament’s mandate to allocate 5G bands by the end of 2020 – and the Trials Cities programme—public opinion remains a powerful influence over network implementation. Scientific studies will also sway decision—making in the near future.
