Electronics-free robots can walk right off the 3D-printer
Imagine a robot that can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material.
That is exactly what roboticists have achieved in robots developed by the Bioinspired Robotics Laboratory at the University of California San Diego. They describe their work in an advanced online publication in the journal Advanced Intelligent Systems.
To achieve this feat, researchers aimed to use the simplest technology available: a desktop 3D-printer and an off-the-shelf printing material. This design approach is not only robust, it is also cheap—each robot costs about $20 to manufacture.

Cloudflare R2 service outage caused by password rotation error
To prevent similar incidents from reoccurring in the future, Cloudflare has improved credential logging and verification and now mandates the use of automated deployment tooling to avoid human errors.
The company is also updating standard operating procedures (SOPs) to require dual validation for high-impact actions like credential rotation and plans to enhance health checks for faster root cause detection.
Cloudflare’s R2 service suffered another 1-hour long outage in February, which was also caused by a human error.

DeepSeek wows coders with more powerful open-source V3 model
The DeepSeek-V3-0324, named after its predecessor and the launch date, has “enhanced reasoning capabilities, optimised front-end web development and upgraded Chinese writing proficiency”, according to a notice on the company’s website.
The new version and DeepSeek V3 are both foundation models trained on vast data sets that can be applied in different use cases, including that of a chatbot. DeepSeek R1, the reasoning model, is based on DeepSeek V3.
The updated foundation model has made improvements in several benchmarks, especially the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME), where it scored 59.4 compared with 39.6 for its predecessor, while achieving an increase of 10 points on LiveCodeBench to achieve 49.2, DeepSeek data showed.
A Chip Has Broken the Critical Barrier That Could Ultimately Begin the Singularity
In 1971, American electrical engineer and computer scientist Leon Chua reasoned that there must exist a fourth fundamental element of computing. There’s the resistor, capacitor, and inductor, but Chua believed there also existed a “memristor”— a portmanteau of “memory” and “resistor” that described a simple, non-volatile memory component that could store information even when turned off.
This sounds like a simple function, but it provides the technological foundation of neuromorphic (a.k.a. brain-like) computing—an effective memristor would essentially act as an artificial synapse in an AI neural net, as it can achieve both data storage and computation at the same time (which is something our brain does). Since researchers “discovered” memristors back in 2008, scientists and engineers around the world have been slowly improving their capabilities in the hopes of bringing about computers that are as efficient and powerful as human brains.
Agibot rivals Tesla’s Optimus with 5,000 humanoid robots in 2025
Agibot plans to produce 5,000 humanoid robots in 2025, aiming to match Tesla’s Optimus output and expand in industrial automation.

Accelerating the Future of Transportation with SES Powered Innovation for Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles (EVs) are transforming transportation, but challenges such as cost, longevity, and range remain barriers to widespread adoption. At the heart of these challenges lies battery technology—specifically, the electrolyte, a critical component that enables energy storage and delivery. The electrolyte’s properties directly impact a battery’s charging speed, power output, stability, and safety.
To overcome these hurdles, researchers are turning to AI-driven approaches to accelerate the discovery of novel battery materials.
SES AI, a leader in battery innovation, is leveraging the cutting-edge NVIDIA hardware and software ecosystem to revolutionize materials discovery. By combining domain-adapted LLMs with an AI model and GPU-accelerated simulations in a single workflow, SES AI compresses decades of research into months and unlocks groundbreaking advancements in EV battery performance.
