Scientists from Rutgers University and IBM demonstrated real-time quantum feedback control on an IBM Quantum Heron processor, successfully driving a 100-qubit system from chaos into an ordered state. By alternating between information mixing and thousands of reset operations, the team revealed critical frequency thresholds for stabilizing quantum systems.

Chinese cybersecurity authorities flagged 82 mobile apps for personal information collection violations, largely due to undisclosed third-party tracking code. Separately, emergency response teams discovered a backdoor in the Windows version of Jianpian Player that permits unauthorized device data harvesting and remote code execution.

Researchers at North Carolina State University developed a 14.5-gram soft robot capable of alternating among jellyfish, fish, and rotor motions without microcomputers or algorithms. Utilizing material geometry and pneumatic channels, the prototype executed functional tasks including waste retrieval and video recording.

A state media investigation revealed a thriving gray-market industry of agencies selling corporate recommendations, internal referrals, and fabricated credentials to job-seeking students. Trapped by stringent hiring demands for prior experience, graduates often pay steep fees for low-level tasks or fraudulent certificates from shell companies.

A targeted assistance collaboration between Tianjin and Lintan County in Gansu is integrating local wormwood processing with expanded urban retail and ecotourism. Local processor Youfeng sourced over 4,000 tonnes of raw material, supporting rural household incomes alongside double-digit attendance growth at Yeliguan scenic spots.
