Trump Rally Shooting: Apple, Microsoft and Meta CEOs react: Tech & Science Daily podcast

Listen here on your chosen podcast platform.

The CEOs of Microsoft, Google, Apple and Meta have all condemned the attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

The 78-year-old Republican suffered an injury to his ear as a result of the attack and one member of the audience died.

Pennsylvania's governor Josh Shapiro said that the man who died, 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, had dived onto his family to protect them from the bullets.

Astronomers say they’ve created the most detailed - and first - weather report for two distant worlds beyond our own solar system.

The international study has revealed the intense conditions on two brown dwarfs, including 950C temperatures and swirling clouds of hot sand.

Tech & Science Daily spoke to lead researcher of the report, Professor Beth Biller from the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh.

Research by the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association and UCL suggests assistance dogs are avoiding London’s “floating” bus stops because they deem them unsafe.

UCL civil engineering professor Nick Tyler said that in their lab recreations of the bus stops, guide dogs didn’t assess them as “safe places” for their owner.

It follows concerns about injuries at floating bus stops and calls for their redesign - but TfL says they’re undertaking an “extensive review” of bus stop safety.

And the rest:

US researchers say they’ve developed a urine recycling and collection system which can be carried on the back of the next generation of astronauts’ spacesuits. The scientists from Cornell University say their designs were inspired by the fictional ‘stillsuits’ from the Dune films.

An international team of researchers has taken preserved DNA from a woolly mammoth fossil to create a 3D reconstruction of its genetic code, for the first time.

Plus, it’s been reported that one very lucky player of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has beaten one the game’s most challenging bosses, Messmer the Impaler, simply by throwing huge rocks.
