One robot brain just did chores in 30 homes it had never seen. Figure's Helix 2.5: 56% cold vs 9% from scratch. pi0.7 moved skills between robot bodies, Skild's brain passed $100M ARR. Why robotics takes off now: #Robotics #Humanoid
Cavity-modified chemical reactions fall into four distinct types governed by response-crossing rules between permanent-dipole and polarizability contributions, enabling prediction of reactivity from molecular response properties alone. #PolaritionicChemistry #CavityQED #Research
Novel fault-tolerant protocol achieves Heisenberg-limited quantum sensing with bosonic probes despite environmental noise. Fisher information scales as NT² with dramatically extended coherent interrogation windows—orders of magnitude improvement over unprotected approaches.
New method achieves quantum state approximation using smaller Lie groups within expanded qubit systems, reducing computational complexity from exponential to polynomial scaling—a potential breakthrough for scalable quantum computing. #QuantumAlgorithms #StatePreparation #News
Researchers at University of Tokyo discovered a fundamental limit: hybrid classical-quantum channels cannot simultaneously achieve both universal adaptability and optimal reliability. Unknown quantum properties create an inherent trade-off absent in purely classical systems.
Researchers mapped geometric constraints in quantum error detection using representation multiplicity and Knill-Laflamme coefficients, enabling exact scalar compression for precise error identification when sufficient redundancy exists within quantum information blocks.
Researchers demonstrate that transcendental invariants enable maximal superintegrability in resonant three-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, advancing mathematical understanding of complex quantum dynamics. #SuperIntegrability #QuantumMathematics #News
Researchers developed algorithms that efficiently distinguish simple product states from complex quantum states using random partitioning and spectral projection, dramatically reducing the required number of quantum system copies for practical verification.
Researchers established the computational limits for classically simulating quantum systems, defining a threshold condition where efficient approximation becomes impossible—critical for materials design and theoretical physics research. #QuantumSimulation #ClassicalComputation #News
Elon Musk’s Terrafab has indicated to suppliers that it intends to produce 1M wafers per month, 700K of which are for memory finance.yahoo.co.jp/news/detail/...
Nvidia said on Sunday that it was opening an investigation into Jensen Huang, its CEO, after he acknowledged that he had a romantic relationship with a businesswoman who U.S. intelligence determined was a Chinese spy. Here is what to know. nyti.ms/4iwHI85
Sol-6.2 & Astra-6.2 may not have been released, but that doesn’t mean the labs aren’t going wild with internal models

The Egyptian state railway authority said a train travelling from Giza to Fayoum hit the back of another, derailing several carriages.
A wildlife survey used to take 9 people 9 months to review 200,000 photos. AI can now analyze it in hours. The Jane Goodall Institute expects AI to cut a 13–15 year project to 2 years. While there are valid reasons to criticize adoption of AI, the productivity gains are now obvious and plentiful.
WIRED uncovered some 400 apps and websites linked to Chinese-language developers that look like regular AI tools but had secret features that let users create violent AI-generated images and video.
This is a genuinely interesting write-up. I'm curious if it would ever make sense to move the AT protocol over to something like this given the ambitions of scale.
Coordinated disturbances haunt grids worldwide. Here’s how researchers solved the mystery.

Polygraph+ will use new sensor technologies and AI to vet staff and hunt leakers. Experts say AI-enabled lie detection is “the worst of both worlds.”
i’m torn between fascination and terror it’s nothing right now, but this is the start of a new leg of AI — agents who have long term goals of their own (survival) lots of benefits clearly articulated here, but also the looming doom theories become crystal clear
