IN A NUTSHELL 🤖 The SRT-H robot, developed at Johns Hopkins University, performed a successful gallbladder surgery with human-like precision. 📚 Trained on surgical videos, the robot can learn and adapt in real-time, enhancing its ability to handle complex procedures. 🛠️ Equipped with machine learning technology similar to ChatGPT, SRT-H responds to voice commands and
Dear Friends & Colleagues, Like artificial intelligence, quantum technologies will transform our world as we know it. This issue focuses on what quantum constitutes and the promises and challenges of this emerging technology.
My new AI-assisted short film is here. Kira explores human cloning and the search for identity in today’s world.
It took nearly 600 prompts, 12 days (during my free time), and a $500 budget to bring this project to life. The entire film was created by one person using a range of AI tools, all listed at the end.
Wimbledon’s new automated line-calling system glitched during a tennis match Sunday, just days after it replaced the tournament’s human line judges for the first time.
The system, called Hawk-Eye, uses a network of cameras equipped with computer vision to track tennis balls in real-time. If the ball lands out, a pre-recorded voice loudly says, “Out.” If the ball is in, there’s no call and play continues.
However, the software temporarily went dark during a women’s singles match between Brit Sonay Kartal and Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Centre Court.
This is a ~18 min talk plus ~10 min Q&A on a top-down approach to bioengineering and robotics that I gave at the Biohybrid Robotics Symposium in Switzerland in July 2025 (https://biohybrid-robotics.com/).

Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed energy-efficient NPU technology that demonstrates substantial performance improvements in laboratory testing.
Their specialised AI chip ran AI models 60% faster while using 44% less electricity than the graphics cards currently powering most AI systems, based on results from controlled experiments.

This message will self-destruct in 3… 2… 1 is something you’ve definitely seen in Mission: Impossible films over the years.
Now, we finally have tech that feels just as futuristic, thanks to a new kind of storage hardware.
Taiwanese company TeamGroup has unveiled a new internal SSD that can literally destroy itself at the press of a button, ensuring sensitive data never falls into the wrong hands.
The device, called the P250Q-M80, is aimed at sectors where top-tier data security isn’t just a perk, it’s a necessity. We’re talking defense, industrial automation, AI development, and maybe even the crypto wallet you hold.
TeamGroup showcased the drive at Computex 2025, where it took home a Best Choice Award in the cybersecurity category.
