• Researchers demonstrated an NFC-based man-in-the-middle attack capable of charging a locked iPhone without user authorization.
• The exploit leverages Apple's Express Transit Mode to bypass the lock screen requirement.
• By tampering with transaction data bits via a computer, hackers can fool the phone and terminal into treating high-value purchases as low-value transit transactions.
• The vulnerability persists due to a combination of iPhone system design and inconsistent implementation of asymmetric cryptographic verification by credit card networks like Visa.

• Vehicles in contact with two different moving media can achieve speeds greater than the relative velocity between those media.

• The phenomenon relies on a mechanical gear system, similar to the Blackbird project, rather than standard aerodynamic lift or drag principles.

• Physicists at CERN use a specialized facility to produce and trap antimatter, trying to understand why normal matter dominates the universe.

• The disparity between matter and antimatter suggests that the Standard Model is incomplete, prompting researchers to look for subtle physical differences between the two.

• Experiments like GBAR and Alpha G are working to measure how gravity affects antimatter to see if it behaves differently than normal matter.

• Despite popular science fiction tropes, antimatter is incredibly difficult to produce and store, making the prospect of it being used for weapons or energy fundamentally impossible at scale.

• The Dzhanibekov effect, also known as the intermediate axis theorem, causes rotating objects to spontaneously flip orientation periodically in weightless environments.

• The phenomenon was famously discovered by cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov while working on the Salyut 7 space station in 1985 and was initially kept classified for a decade.
