After 200 years scientists finally crack the “dolomite problem”
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/04/260420015840.htm

After two centuries of failed attempts, scientists have finally grown dolomite in the lab, cracking a long-standing geological puzzle. They discovered that the mineral’s growth stalls because of tiny defects—but in nature, those flaws get washed away over time. By mimicking this process with precise simulations and electron beam pulses, the team achieved record-breaking crystal growth. The finding could reshape how high-tech materials are made.

Public Bitcoin miners offloaded more than 32,000 BTC during the first quarter of 2026, a new industry record.

The liquidation wave surpassed full-year 2025 net sales. It also exceeded the roughly 20,000 BTC dumped during the Terra-Luna collapse in Q2 2022.

‘Starting In April’—Microsoft Changes Windows Update After 15 Years
https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2026/04/18/starting-in-april-microsoft-changes-windows-update-after-15-years/

Microsoft’s new Patch Tuesday is a bumper update — 8 critical flaws topped off by an actively exploited zero-day vulnerability. All PC owners should update as soon as possible. If you’re running Windows 11, that’s simple. But if you’re among the hundreds of millions still on Windows 10, you need Microsoft’s extended support.

U.S. takes Iran-flagged ship into custody, Trump says
https://www.axios.com/2026/04/19/trump-us-iran-flagged-ship-custody-gulf-oman

American forces seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship after it tried to bypass a U.S. naval blockade in the Gulf of Oman, President Trump said Sunday.

Why it matters: It's the first seizure and the first ship fired upon since the U.S. blockade went into effect last Sunday in response to Iran effectively holding the Strait or Hormuz hostage since the war began on Feb. 28.

Quantum Breakthrough: Unhackable Keys Sent Over 120 km Using Quantum Dots
https://scitechdaily.com/quantum-breakthrough-unhackable-keys-sent-over-120-km-using-quantum-dots/

***Quantum dot–based time-bin QKD achieves stable, long-distance secure communication with practical performance.***
 

Quantum key distribution is the most advanced area of quantum cryptography and offers fundamentally secure communication for the future quantum internet. Solid-state light sources such as semiconductor quantum dots (SQDs) have drawn significant attention because they can generate high-quality non-classical photons for quantum communication. These sources can support higher key generation rates and may enable the use of quantum repeaters.
