Abstract
- Fun Fact: Sloths can hold their breath longer than dolphins.
- TikTok Deal Imminent: General Atlantic CEO Bill Ford stated that a deal to save TikTok in the U.S. is near. President Trump’s executive order paused a 75-day ban, allowing negotiations between the U.S. and Chinese governments, ByteDance, and its board. While some support U.S. buyers like Elon Musk, concerns remain over data privacy and election interference.
- Wildfire Tracking App: The Watch Duty app has become a critical tool in the Los Angeles wildfires, which have burned over 35,000 acres. The non-profit app provides real-time updates and has received significant support from Google and Meta, with 2.5 million downloads in two weeks.
- Historic Gulf Coast Snowstorm: A rare winter storm paralyzed cities like Houston and New Orleans, bringing record snowfall to Florida’s Panhandle. Milton, Florida, saw up to 8 inches of snow. Over 90,000 homes in Tallahassee lost power, and 1,400 flights were canceled. The extreme weather highlights the need for better preparedness.
- Quantum Geometry Breakthrough: Scientists have developed a new method to measure quantum geometry, a key advancement for quantum computing. Using a tin-cobalt lattice structure, researchers mapped electron behavior, providing a blueprint for improved quantum materials.
- Taylor Swift’s Record-Breaking Tour: Swift’s Eras Tour was named “Tour of the Century” at the iHeartRadio Music Awards after earning $2 billion. She received 10 nominations, including Artist of the Year and Pop Artist of the Year, thanking fans for their support.

ByteDance director Bill Ford says deal coming to save TikTok in the U.S.
General Atlantic CEO Bill Ford says a deal to save TikTok in the us is imminent. This follows President Trump’s executive order pausing a 75 day ban on the app. The deal involves talks among the us and Chinese governments, bike dance and its board. Trump’s order temporarily halts a law requiring ByteDance to sell TikTok’s US assets due to national security concerns about potential Chinese access to American data. While some politicians welcome potential us buyers like Elon Musk, others remain wary of the implications for data privacy and election interference.

Watch Duty CEO says he doesn’t need to take more of people’s money
Watch duty has become a vital tool during the Los Angeles wildfires, which have burned over 35000 acres. The app offering real time wildfire updates saw 2.5 million downloads in just two weeks CEO John Mills says he’s not interested in charging more for its services. We want to do this for the greater good. Mill, shared as a non-profit watch duty, relies on donations receiving significant support from tech giants like Google and Meta. Despite its success, the app remains focused on providing free, crucial information to those in need.

Parts of Florida Panhandle shut down by historic winter storm
A historic January storm has brought heavy snow to the us Gulf Coast, paralyzing cities like Houston and New Orleans and burying parts of Florida’s panhandle. Milton, Florida, saw up to Ed inches of snow breaking records. Frigid air will linger, with temperatures dropping to 4 °F. In Tallahassee, power outages affected over 90000 homes. Airports were temporarily closed, causing over 1400 flight cancellations. The storm’s rare snowfall and severe cold highlight the need for better preparedness against extreme weather events.

Scientists Used a ‘Forbidden Fried Egg’ to Measure Quantum Geometry
Scientists have created a way to measure quantum geometry crucial for advancing quantum computing. They use the concept of the quantum geometric tensor. Typically hard to observe. Experiment involved a compound of tin and cobalt forming a lattice structure. This helped map electron behaviors visualized as a forbidden fried egg. Using advanced light sources and spectroscopy, they achieved detailed measurements. This breakthrough can help design better materials and quantum systems. We’ve developed a blueprint for obtaining new information, said Ricardo Commen, a lead researcher.

Taylor Swift’s Eras tour named ‘Tour of the Century’ at upcoming iHeart Radio Music Awards
Taylor Swift’s Eras tour has been named the Tour of the Century at the upcoming iHeart Radio Music Awards. This tour, which concluded in Vancouver, earned a staggering $2 billion. Swift expressed her gratitude to her fans, saying I want to thank every single one of you for being a part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life. She also received 10 nominations, including Artist of the Year and Pop Artist of the Year. The iHeart Radio Wars honor the most played artists on their stations and app, highlighting top talent in the music industry.
