Today's Discover Daily episode begins with a look at the impact of Mastercard's transition away from magnetic strips technology. This shift towards EMV chip technology promises enhanced security and will significantly impact various sectors of the payment ecosystem.

Then, a new study shows how long term and short term memory actual works: our brain create three distinct copies of every memory, each serving a unique purpose in memory formation and recall. We explain how this actual works and what it could mean for memory disorders.

Our final story focuses on a lesser known, computer animation pioneer: Alvy Ray Smith. Smith co-founded Pixar and stood up to Steve Jobs in a dramatic confrontation. His contributions to computer graphics and animation continue to shape the industry, despite being overshadowed by Jobs' larger-than-life persona.
