Researchers from across the globe are starting work on 6G that will let you download 300 movies in a second.

When U.S. President Donald Trump took to his favorite broadcasting platform, Twitter, in February to seek 6G technology at a time even 5G wasn’t available in America, he was roundly mocked on social media as technologically illiterate. “I want 5G, and even 6G, technology in the United States as soon as possible,” Trump said. But whether through luck or actual foresight, the president might have been onto something.

The fifth generation of mobile internet, or 5G, is still relatively new. It has been implemented only in a small set of countries, its global standard hasn’t yet been completely agreed upon and there are still large regions, even in the U.S., that lack decent 4G connections. But a growing number of countries, research institutions and companies are beginning work on building 6G technology, amid growing recognition that the effort — even if started now — could take up to 2030 before users globally can access this new benchmark for internet connectivity.

Mindy Kelly, one of the few female stunt coordinators in Hollywood, is arriving at her breakout moment.

Alone in a dark room, two women are locked in combat. One throws the other to the ground, pinning her knee into her ribs. She then cocks her elbow back, and swings it toward her opponent’s face for the decisive blow.

But the sound of bone crunching into bone never comes. Instead, there is only a loud smack as the elbow connects with a training pad.

“Better,” the woman on the ground says. “Just remember to put your whole body into the strike, not just your arm.” Her pupil, actress Imogen Poots, stands up. “You’ve got this. Now let’s go again.”

This New York City health official is tired of parents being led astray on surgeries for infants.

Twenty-five years ago, while doing an emergency room shift as a third-year pediatrics resident in Washington, D.C., I met a patient who has been seared into my memory.

My patient’s gender was not immediately apparent. I asked questions to narrow the potential reasons for their abdominal pain, including one about menstrual cycles. The response revealed that they had gone through genital reassignment surgery as a young child without their consent. What I learned that day was that decisions made by adults out of ignorance and fear can leave lifelong physical and mental scars.
