  known as PFAS, which have been linked to serious

  health issues, including cancer. The Environmental
• 5:25
  Protection Agency administrator stated that while
• 5:29
  limits for the two most notorious types PFOA
• 5:33
  and PFOS will remain, the agency will seek to

• 5:41
  faces significant backlash from powerful business

  communities. In business news. Two years after

  partnering with OpenAI, financial technology
• 6:05
  startup Klarna is expressing a desire for human
• 6:09
  connection again. Initially excited about replacing

  realizing that its AI customer service agents

  struggle to meet expectations. acknowledged the
• 6:29
  importance of having a human option for customers.
• 6:32
  This marks a significant shift from his previous
• 6:35
  belief that AI could handle all jobs. Surveys

• 7:58
  Let's talk science. In a significant advancement
• 8:02
  for quantum physics, researchers have successfully
• 8:05
  created a Schrodinger's cat state at temperatures
• 8:09
  above absolute zero. Named after physicist Erwin
• 8:13
  Schrodinger, this principle illustrates how particles
• 8:16
  can exist in two states simultaneously, known
• 8:20
  as quantum superposition. Traditionally, achieving
• 8:24
  such states required cooling quantum objects
• 8:27
  to nearly absolute zero. However, a new study
• 8:31
  published in the journal Science Advances shows
• 8:33
  that these states were generated at a temperature
• 8:36
  of 1 .8 Kelvin, which remains cold but is notably
• 8:40
  warmer than usual. This breakthrough could transform
• 8:44
  quantum computing, potentially eliminating the
• 8:47
  need for costly cooling systems. and in entertainment
• 8:53
  news. The anticipation for James Gunn's Superman
• 8:58
  is building with a new trailer just released.

• 9:17

• 9:22
  This is the first solo Superman film in more
• 9:25
  than a decade, set to hit theaters on July 11th.
• 9:30
  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote
• 9:33
  of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
• 9:37
  American writer and philosopher, Ralph Waldo
• 9:40
  Emerson. And he said, Do not go where the path
• 9:45
  may lead. Go instead where there is no path and
• 9:50
  leave a trail. And that's a wrap for this morning.
