01Haniya's assassination exposes security vulnerabilities, Iran investigates over 20 people
According to The New York Times, on August 3rd, Iran arrested over 20 military personnel in Tehran, including senior intelligence officers, military officials, and staff. Previously, on July 31st, Hamas' top political leader Haniyeh was killed in an explosion that occurred hours after the inauguration ceremony of the new Iranian president in a heavily guarded courtyard in the capital, highlighting the serious security mistakes made by the Iranian leadership.
Two Iranian officials said that the intelligence department of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which specializes in espionage activities, has taken over the investigation and is arresting suspects. They hope to find the assassin gang that planned, assisted, and carried out the murder through the arrested suspects. The details of the investigation will be released in due course. Senior Advisor to the International Crisis Group, Vaez, said that this incident is fatal for the Iranian regime, as it shows that Iran cannot protect its homeland or key allies.
02US sues TikTok for massive violation of children's privacy
Reuters reported that on August 2, the US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the Chinese funded short video platform TikTok and the Chinese parent company ByteDance for failing to protect children's privacy in social media applications.

According to Xinhua News Agency, recently,An international research team led by Kyoto University in Japan is conducting a study on nature in the UK·According to a report in the Journal of Communications, the commonly used water purification materials mainly rely on small pores in the material to adsorb ions, or exchange purified water through the interaction of ions in the material and ions in water. But these water purification materials are often difficult to balance removal efficiency and selective removal of target ions. Researchers have found that some animals and plants cleverly utilize proteins that selectively bind to specific heavy metal ions to protect themselves from heavy metal ion toxicity. For example, plants use intracellular chelating peptides to selectively capture heavy metal ions such as cadmium contained in groundwater absorbed by roots and trap them in vacuoles.
Researchers were inspired by this and designedI got itA synthetic polymer that possesses the same functional groups used by plant chelating peptides to bind with heavy metal ions,Can selectively capture large amounts of toxic heavy metal ions in water,bringPurification of industrial wastewaterThe greatly improved ability is another major advancement in environmental technology.
