香港油麻地一大厦发生火灾,已致5人死亡
A fire in a large, mostly residential building in Hong Kong on Wednesday morning killed at least five people and left another 34 injured. The blaze in the New Lucky House in the Jordan neighborhood was extinguished later in the morning, but police said people inside the building still were calling for help. Firefighters had rushed to the scene after receiving a call about the fire at 7:53 a.m., authorities said. Local media including the South China Morning Post reported the fire started at a gym on the first floor. The New Lucky House has 200 units and was built in 1964.

2. Indonesia expects biggest-ever Eid homecoming, a mass movement of over 190 million people
全国72%的人口在路上!印尼开斋节迎来最大返乡潮
Millions of Indonesians are packing bus and train stations, airports and highways as they head to hometowns to celebrate Thursday's Eid al-Fitr festival with family. The Transportation Ministry expects the largest movement of people in Indonesia's history. The agency is projecting the number of travelers heading home could reach 193 million, or nearly 72% of the population. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim-majority country. And every year, there is a vast exodus of people from urban centers across the vast archipelago to more rural hometowns to celebrate the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

3. Real Telekinesis or Top-Secret Chinese Tech?
Big news has hit the scientific world recently: scientists have proven that you can control things from a distance.
The new study results are the first step toward the future of unlocking the capabilities of the human mind, namely telekinesis. Moving objects with the power of thought has been a wet dream of many nerds ever since our common ancestor was unable to reach a juicy fruit growing up high. Then there was the whole Star Wars era with the Force, but today, Chinese scientists are actively working to make this a reality, according to SciTechDaily.
Big-brained researchers from the Chinese Air Force Engineering University took the first step toward remote control of metamaterials using human brain waves. Metamaterials are artificially created materials that have unusual physical properties, including electromagnetic properties that do not occur in nature. Two-dimensional metamaterials are called meta-surfaces, which have unprecedented control over electromagnetic waves. According to scientists, you can create programmable meta-surfaces with various functions that can be controlled remotely with the human mind.
It is widely known that electromagnetic waves are created when humans use their brains. Scientists have suggested that brain waves, which can be used as signals, can control the meta-surfaces. In the study, Chinese scientists were able to achieve remote control of the meta-surface through the transmission of human brain waves to a special receiver. The researchers wanted to ensure that humans could control the electromagnetic response of a programmable meta-surface. They achieved this by demonstrating the user remotely controlling the metasurface coding sequence through the special brainwave module, affecting the scattering mode of electromagnetic waves.
The experiment results showed that a person was more effective in controlling the functions of the meta-surface using brain waves than with the help of manual devices. Now scientists plan to continue conducting similar experiments to improve the quality of control of the meta-surface with the help of the human mind.
Scientists believe this proto-telekinesis technology can be applied to meta-surfaces in various areas, including monitoring patients’ health, data transmission in the 5G and 6G networks, and other applications.
