    Artemis II Moon Flyby, TfL Tests Smart Tube Safety Tech, and UK Skynet Satellite Row

    07/04/2026 | 5 mins.
    Al’s back in your ears with a proper mixed bag: TfL quietly tests smarter detection tech on Tube tracks (eyes peeled at Mile End) and roads with radar cameras, while the UK’s next-gen Skynet military satellite plan sparks a very serious “who controls what” debate. Then we go full cosmic — Artemis II swings behind the Moon and pushes past an Apollo-era distance record — before a clean-energy research result hints at squeezing more power out of sunlight and heat. After that, Xbox FanFest puts London on the global gaming tour… and Evercade’s new handheld waves the flag for physical retro in a world that’s trying to subscription-everything.

    London Tech Week goes “Deep Tech”, UKRI chair pick named, and scientists find ‘trade winds’ inside cells

    02/04/2026 | 4 mins.
    London Tech Week tees up a new Deep Tech Stage for June, the government names its preferred candidate to chair UKRI, and researchers report something that sounds made-up but isn’t: “trade winds” inside cells that help move proteins as cells migrate. Plus, April gaming season begins — and yes, Goat Simulator 3 is on Switch 2 today. More on all of it at standard.co.uk, and follow Tech and Science Daily from The Standard for your weekday briefing.

    UCL stem-cell therapy breakthrough, CMA probes Microsoft, and a “sound laser” gravity leap — plus Arc Raiders Flashpoint

    01/04/2026 | 6 mins.
    UCL teams up on a stem-cell therapy plan to help babies with Hirschsprung disease — the kind of story that actually changes lives. Then it’s the UK CMA poking around Microsoft’s business software ecosystem, because “it’s fine, everyone uses it” is not a competition policy. In the lab, a phonon “sound laser” shows off a wild new way to measure gravity with extreme precision. After the break: Arc Raiders drops Flashpoint and the playerbase immediately starts debating it like Parliament. Plus, CityFibre goes full show-off with an 8.5Gbps wholesale fibre product.

    London Games Festival kicks off, UK gene breakthrough for childhood epilepsy,

    31/03/2026 | 5 mins.
    Al’s running you through a very modern mix: London Games Festival turns the city into one big playable space, UK genomic science pulls a major epilepsy-linked diagnosis out of the “dark genome”. After the break, space science gets strange — microgravity may mess with sperm navigation — and Apple’s iOS 26.4 UK age checks arrive with equal parts safety intent and privacy drama.

    London’s new biotech lab space, UK physics funding cut backlash, meningitis B outbreak briefing, Windows 11 emergency fix

    30/03/2026 | 6 mins.
    Al’s back in your ears with a very London Monday mix: shiny new lab space opening up in West London for biotech teams who actually need benches, not buzzwords — while UK scientists kick off about deep cuts to theoretical physics funding. Then it’s a straight public health update as UKHSA publishes its technical briefing on the meningitis B outbreak response, plus what the NHS is doing on vaccines. After the break, a rare sperm whale birth gets properly documented (yes, it’s as incredible as it sounds), Microsoft drops an emergency Windows 11 fix for sign-in chaos, and Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfixes the hotfix… again.
