“This project will create jobs, spur local innovation, and advance American leadership in energy technology,” Urvi Parekh, head of global energy at Meta, said in a statement. “By investing in baseload nuclear energy, we’re helping build a resilient and sustainable future for our communities.”It’s not unusual for utilities to negotiate long-term contracts for fuel for reactors. But this is the first known incident where a hyperscaler is purchasing the fuel that will generate the electrons it plans to buy, says Koroush Shirvan, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.“The Oklo model that they have advertised is that they build,…
Ozlo, the maker of comfortable, easy-to-use “sleepbuds” that drown out outside noise so you can get better rest, is turning its product into a platform. The company’s plan began to take shape last month with the announcement of a partnership between Ozlo and meditation app Calm. But it kicked into high gear at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week as the company met with prospective partners to expand its reach. Those new partners could help Ozlo tap into new audiences and build a revenue model beyond consumer-focused hardware and into the profit-margin-rich world of software subscriptions and…
After years of chatbots and image generators, AI is finally leaving the screen. At CES 2026, that shift became impossible to ignore. The annual tech showcase in Las Vegas was dominated by “physical AI” and robotics, from Boston Dynamic’s newly redesigned Atlas humanoid robot to AI-powered ice makers (yes, really). The companies in attendance clearly want consumers […]AI,ces 2026,Equity Video,humanoid robotics,nvidia,OpenAI,physical ai,roboticsAI,ces 2026,Equity Video,humanoid robotics,nvidia,OpenAI,physical ai,robotics#CES #2026s #physical #takeover1767986060
Scientists uncovered how the protein Piezo1 translates physical activity into stronger bones, offering a path to exercise-mimicking therapies. Scientists from the Department of Medicine, School of Clinical Medicine, LKS Faculty of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) have identified a biological process that explains how exercise helps keep bones strong. The discovery could […]Health,Aging,Exercise,Osteoporosis,Public Health,The University of Hong Kong#Breakthrough #Bone #Discovery #Lead #ExerciseinaPill #Osteoporosis1767984034
Integrating AI into code review workflows allows engineering leaders to detect systemic risks that often evade human detection at scale.For engineering leaders managing distributed systems, the trade-off between deployment speed and operational stability often defines the success of their platform. Datadog, a company responsible for the observability of complex infrastructures worldwide, operates under intense pressure to maintain this balance.When a client’s systems fail, they rely on Datadog’s platform to diagnose the root cause—meaning reliability must be established well before software reaches a production environment.Scaling this reliability is an operational challenge. Code review has traditionally acted as the primary gatekeeper, a…
Whether you’re worried about the open network at your local coffee shop or want to get around geo-restrictions when you’re traveling, NordVPN can help. A virtual private network (VPN) is like a protective tunnel, keeping your data safe from prying eyes. VPNs aren’t perfect protection (you need to trust your VPN provider), but they’re always going to be better than nothing when you’re using a public hotspot. They also make it easy to continue to watch your favorite shows even when you’re on vacation. If you want to learn more about how to protect yourself online, see our guide to…
Meta today announced three deals to provide its data centers with nuclear power, one from a startup, one from a smaller energy company and one from a larger company that already operates several nuclear reactors in the U.S. Oklo and TerraPower, two startups developing small modular reactors (SMR), each signed agreements with Meta to build multiple reactors, while Vistra is selling capacity from its existing power plants. Nuclear power has become a favored power source for tech companies as their AI ambitions have grown, providing stable 24/7 electricity. Startups and existing reactors have benefitted from the race for data center…
A new drug combination shows unexpected synergy against liver fibrosis. A new study reveals that using two drugs together produces a much stronger effect than using either one alone, suggesting a realistic and potentially fast route toward a new treatment for liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis is a common but often unnoticed condition that affects hundreds […]Health,Gastroenterology,Liver,Molecular Biology,Pharmacology#Unexpected #Drug #Combo #Reverses #Liver #Fibrosis1767980400
After creating thousands of “undressing” pictures of women and sexualized imagery of apparent minors, Elon Musk’s X has apparently limited who can generate images with Grok. However, despite the changes, the chatbot is still being used to create “undressing” sexualized images on the platform.On Friday morning, the Grok account on X started responding to some users’ requests with a message saying that image generation and editing are “currently limited to paying subscribers.” The message also includes a link pushing people toward the social media platform’s $395 annual subscription tier. In one test of the system requesting Grok create an image…
Researchers have identified a brain protein whose absence leads to memory loss and Alzheimer’s-like damage in mice. Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine report that findings from a new study funded by the National Institutes of Health are helping to identify a promising new biological target for Alzheimer’s disease. The focus is a protein that produces […]Health,Alzheimer’s Disease,Cognitive Science,Johns Hopkins Medicine,Memory,Neuroscience#Johns #Hopkins #Scientists #Identify #Key #Brain #Protein #Slow #Alzheimers1767976631
If you have ever taken a self-driving Uber through downtown LA, you might recognise the strange sense of uncertainty that settles in when there is no driver and no conversation, just a quiet car making assumptions about the world around it. The journey feels fine until the car misreads a shadow or slows abruptly for something harmless. In that moment you see the real issue with autonomy. It does not panic when it should, and that gap between confidence and judgement is where trust is either earned or lost. Much of today’s enterprise AI feels remarkably similar. It is competent…
Did California lose Larry Page? The Google and Alphabet cofounder, who left day-to-day operations in 2019, has seen his net worth soar in the years since—from around $50 billion at the time of his departure to somewhere approximating $260 billion today. (Leaving his job clearly didn’t hurt his wallet.) Last year, a proposed ballot initiative in California threatened billionaires like Page with a one-time 5 percent wealth tax—prompting some of them to consider leaving the state before the end of the year, when the tax, if passed, would retroactively kick in. Page seems to have been one of those defectors;…

Florida-based pet food and product online retailer Chewy has been around for less than 15 years but has quickly become a popular source for everything pet-related. Chewy even has supplies for farm animals, reptiles, fish, and more, carrying over 3,500 brands, including everything from food to medicine to toys. My cat is constantly throwing up (same) and requires Hill’s Sensitive Skin and Stomach, which costs roughly as much as my car insurance every month. I use WIRED’s Chewy promo codes to save money so I can spring for the 50-cent instant ramen while she can remain vomit-free. Browse our roundup…
Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of living cells. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have developed the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots ever made. These tiny machines can swim through liquid, sense and respond to their surroundings on their […]Technology,Nanotechnology,Robotics,Sensor,University of Pennsylvania#Microscopic #Robots #Swim #Act1767969285
Last February, a sick infant named KJ received a gene-editing treatment made just for him. Created in just six months, it was meant to correct a rare genetic mutation that was causing toxic ammonia to build up in his small body. The treatment likely saved his life, and baby KJ was discharged from the hospital in June.Now, a new startup called Aurora Therapeutics, cofounded by gene-editing pioneer Jennifer Doudna, is aiming to scale such treatments to many more patients with rare diseases. Doudna is one of the inventors of the gene-editing system known as Crispr, and won a Nobel Prize…
