Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily look at the stories shaping our world.

A tragedy out of Wichita, Kansas, where at least two people — a child and an adult — were killed after a vehicle drove onto a soccer field at the Stryker Soccer Complex on Saturday afternoon. Police are investigating, and the community is in shock.

On a very different note, physicists have pulled off something remarkable. Researchers have used trapped ions to simulate gluon string breaking — a fundamental process in quantum chromodynamics that describes how quarks interact deep inside matter. It's an early but striking demonstration of quantum simulation tackling problems that classical computers simply cannot handle.

And closer to home for many of us, Logitech has announced it has begun manufacturing devices in India, calling the move a natural shift. The company joins a growing list of hardware makers quietly diversifying their supply chains away from China, a trend that's been accelerating as geopolitical pressures and tariff concerns reshape where the world's gadgets actually get built.
