Neuralink says it has successfully implanted another brain chip in a human patient.

According to a study update shared by the company, the patient, identified by his first name, Alex, has been improving his ability to play video games and has started learning how to use design software to create 3D objects.

The company said the procedure “went well,” and Alex’s recovery “has been smooth.”

Skyfire claims it is offering the world’s first payment network designed to support fully autonomous transactions across AI agents, large language models (LLMs), data platforms and various service providers.

This development marks a significant step toward creating a new global economy where AI agents can function as independent economic actors, capable of making and receiving payments without human intervention.

“We really see that next million users for a lot of these [vendor] companies coming from AI agents being the customer,” said Sarhangi.

The creature is a kind of choanoflagellate, a microorganism closely related to animals:


Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, have discovered an unusual creature in Eastern Sierra Nevada’s Mono Lake. This organism could provide insights into the complex animal life that originated on Earth over 650 million years ago.

The lake is famous for being home to creatures like shrimp and alkali flies.

University of Arizona researchers have developed an ‘attomicroscopy’ technique using a novel ultrafast electron microscope that captures moving electrons in unprecedented detail, paving the way for significant scientific breakthroughs in physics and other fields.

Imagine having a camera so advanced that it can capture freeze-frame images of a moving electron—an object so fast it could orbit the Earth multiple times in just a second. Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed the world’s fastest electron microscope capable of this remarkable feat.

They believe their work will lead to groundbreaking advancements in physics, chemistry, bioengineering, materials sciences, and more.

To introduce quantum networks into the marketplace, engineers must overcome the fragility of entangled states in a fiber cable and ensure the efficiency of signal delivery. Now, scientists at Qunnect Inc. in Brooklyn, New York, have taken a large step forward by operating just such a network under the streets of New York City.
