The patch might offer a non-invasive communication tool for people who cannot speak due to vocal cord problems.
This marks a significant turning point for Bugatti as they embrace electrification, a move usually seen in production cars today.
Jim Farley has a Tesla veteran heading up a Ford “skunkworks” team to develop low-cost EVs, but he’s open to cooperation with rivals on batteries.
An international team of researchers has succeeded in “filming” the activation of an important receptor. They froze the involved molecules at different points in time and photographed them under the electron microscope. They were then able to place these still images in sequence. This sequence shows step by step which spatial changes the receptor undergoes when it is activated.

A newly discovered species of prehistoric bird that lived 120 million years ago is shedding light on how modern birds evolved from their dinosaur ancestors, according to a study published last week in the journal Cretaceous Research.
The scientists who discovered the novel species gave it a name that highlights its uniqueness and pays tribute to the British naturalist David Attenborough: Imparavis attenboroughi, which means “Attenborough’s strange bird” in Latin.
What intrigues researchers is that the proto-bird lacked teeth. While no birds have teeth today, this characteristic made the species abnormal among its contemporaries, as most prehistoric birds still had teeth and claws.
Polar Signals was founded in 2020 by Branczyk, an ex-Red Hat engineer and leading figure in the Prometheus and Kubernetes ecosystems — experience that positions Polar Signals well to target the enterprise cloud segment.
Since its formal commercial launch back in October, the company has amassed more than a dozen paying customers, including Vercel, Materialize, Canonical and Weaviate — and this is something that its fresh cash injection will help it double down on, as it seeks further scale in the coming months and years.
“Our pipeline is so large we can’t even close them [new customers] quickly enough, which is also why we’re planning on growing the team in this direction significantly,” Branczyk said.
