Video generation has quietly become one of the most competitive arenas in artificial intelligence, with text-to-video systems producing clips that are increasingly difficult to distinguish from real footage. But a comprehensive new survey argues that the field’s next great challenge is not visual spectacle at all. Instead, it is people: how machines depict human bodies […]

The Ruling: A Pivotal Moment for AI and Defense Policy On September 25, 2026, a federal appeals court panel in Washington, D.C., delivered a 2-1 decision that upheld the Pentagon's controversial designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk. This ruling represents a watershed moment in the intersection of artificial intelligence, national security, and corporate governance, with implications that extend far beyond the immediate parties involved. The decision, written by Judge Gregory Katsas (j...

Why does a bite of pork tenderloin feel firmer than a piece of chicken breast, and why does cooking turn all of them tougher? For decades, food scientists have answered such questions with blunt instruments: compressing cubes of meat in a texture analyzer or asking trained sensory panels to score tenderness and chewiness. These methods […]

The hidden corners of the internet known as the dark web have long been a haven for illicit marketplaces, forums and data bazaars, and monitoring them has become one of the hardest problems in modern cybersecurity.

On October 1, Google’s first test satellite for Project Suncatcher is set to be launched. This is the next step in the company’s plan to build AI data centers in Earth’s orbit, according to The New York Times. The idea is, among other things, to harness solar energy in space instead of building ever-larger data centers on Earth. The first satellite, MVP, is about the size of a refrigerator and was built by the satellite company Planet Labs. On board are four of Google’s TPU accelerators, which will be used to run Gemini in space. MVP is equipped with solar panels that generate about one kilowatt. This, combined with cooling limitations, means the TPU chips can only run for 15 minutes at a time during testing. Google plans additional launches in 2027. The goal is a network of AI

Wall Street climbed on Friday, lifted by Microsoft and other AI-related technology stocks, while high oil prices and a recent surge in U.S. Treasury yields kept investors on edge. Gains in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq capped a volatile week driven by uncertainty about what industries will win and lose from artificial intelligence, and by concerns about the U.S. war with Iran and a surge in U.S. Treasury yields. Microsoft rallied 3.3 percent, lifting its 2026 gain to 7 percent, after the software giant unveiled several new capabilities in its Copilot app, including a coding tool and an always-on AI agent. Akamai Technologies surged 6 percent after an $11.6 billion cloud services deal with AI leader Anthropic. The deal includes a warrant that could give Anthropic up to 5 percent of Akamai. "That's a positive from the standpoint that people are still investing, deals are still being done," said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at Globalt Investments in Atlanta. "It's another circular

We are continuously sending information to each other, transmitting zeros and ones through a giant network of connected computers and devices. Scientists are now trying to extend this familiar concept of the internet to the quantum realm, looking for an efficient way to exchange quantum rather than classical information: qubits instead of bits. The motivation is not just scientific curiosity. Qubits can be a 0, a 1 or any superposition of the two. They can also become entangled, showing a degree of correlation that is out of reach for classical bits.

Hitting its goal of making 20,000 Optimus robots per week is reportedly proving tricky for Tesla. The Information reports that Tesla produced "several hundred robots a week" last month, after it repurposed its Model S and Model X production lines for Optimus earlier this year. However, this strategy is reportedly creating manufacturing snags, like issues lining up parts precisely, as The Information notes: "Not only are the Optimus production lines new, but the Optimus parts are much smaller and have to fit together far more precisely than car parts." It reports that even in the "V3" Optimus robots it's currently producing, the hands and f … Read the full story at The Verge.

Many liver and lung cancers arise in tissue that's already been scarred by chronic disease, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis or long-term lung damage. That scarring creates an environment that suppresses nearby immune cells, so by the time a tumor takes hold, it's often already shielded from the immune system and immunotherapy.

Elon Musk says that the Colossus 2 will receive 220,000 GB300 GPUs by next week, with another two tranches of the same amount expected to arrive later this year. This will put the site at over a million AI GPUs, finally hitting the goal the billionaire set two years ago.

Tesla is now building several hundred Optimus humanoid robots per week at Fremont, roughly 10 times its Q2 output, according to a new report. But the robots coming off the line still can’t handle generalized tasks – limiting their usefulness. The report also describes fragile hands, misaligned parts on the assembly line, and suppliers that can’t hold quality at volume. Those are the two problems that decide whether humanoid robots make money: generalization and reliability. more…

The COVID-19 pandemic clearly demonstrated the importance of rapid and reliable diagnostic methods for detecting and monitoring infectious diseases. Nucleic acids, including RNA, are key biomarkers used in the detection, monitoring and treatment of a wide range of diseases. However, isolating nucleic acids from biological samples can be challenging, particularly when they are present at very low concentrations.

Researchers used CRISPR to remove CD33 from donor stem cells, potentially giving doctors a way to attack aggressive blood cancers without destroying the healthy cells patients need after a transplant. In a 30-patient trial, the edited cells successfully took hold and appeared to shield blood cells from a CD33-targeted cancer treatment.

CERN has started replacing some of the Large Hadron Collider’s most important magnets as part of its High-Luminosity upgrade. The new superconducting magnets will produce fields about 40% stronger, allowing particle beams to be squeezed more tightly before they collide. That should create far more collisions for the ATLAS and CMS experiments to analyze, giving physicists a much larger window into the fundamental workings of the universe.

My phone buzzed in my pocket; I ignored it. A moment later, it buzzed again. I pulled it out, glanced down, and saw a "motion detected" notification from my security camera. "Just my dog in the yard," I thought, dismissing it. As the colorful eggs piled up in the baskets, my phone kept buzzing. Reluctantly, I pulled it out again and saw several more "motion detected" alerts. I tried to load a video clip, but it just buffered endlessly. AI-powered text descriptions paint the whole scene

An electron's charge is normally fixed, like a coin you can't break into pieces. But if electrons are cooled close to absolute zero and trapped in a two-dimensional layer under a powerful magnetic field, they organize into a collective state of "quasiparticles" that seem to hold only a fraction of an electron's charge.

Google’s Gemini 4 AI model is in the early days of post-training, the phase in which a base AI model is refined to behave reliably, and should be released “much earlier” than the end of this year, Google DeepMind head Koray Kavukcuoglu told The Information at its AI Agenda Live Summit. Some Google observers have speculated that this could be as early as October. Kavukcuoglu recently replaced DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis as head of the Google business unit. The launch of Gemini 4 may lay to rest concerns about the delayed release of Gemini 3.5 Pro, which Google was originally expected to announce at its May 2026 developer conference. While less capable models in the Gemini 3 family have been frequently updated, Gemini 3 Pro has only been updated once since its November 2025

MorrHere, the authors demonstrate that the recent observations in scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) experiments of spatial oscillations in the energy position of the superconducting coherence peaks in the cuprate, transition metal dichalcogenide, iron-based, and heavy-fermion superconductors can arise from the possible presence of pair-, charge- or spin-density-wave phases. In all of these phases, the spatial oscillations of the superconducting order parameter can be imaged via the critical Josephson current, measured in Josephson STS experiments. [Phys. Rev.
