Alan Leer in your ear for the Thursday commute, because London’s just green-lit a new research hub in Paddington aimed at taking on antimicrobial resistance — the superbug problem that makes modern medicine quietly terrifying. Then it’s CyberUK season: ministers want AI companies helping build national cyber defence, while security chiefs warn the worst threats are coming from hostile states. After that, science goes full sci-fi with extreme laser work, plus a space project you can join from your sofa — Euclid wants your eyes on gravitational lenses. And in gaming, Xbox is teasing another Discord link-up for Game Pass. More on everything at standard.co.uk — and follow Tech and Science Daily from The Standard for your weekday hit.
