American AI company Runway is establishing its European headquarters in London with a $200 million investment in the UK AI ecosystem by 2028. The $5.3 billion AI video firm joins Anthropic and OpenAI in expanding to the British capital, citing proximity to major clients including BBC, Fremantle and WPP, alongside access to exceptional talent.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a new humanoid robot platform combining Unitree's 6-foot H2 Plus robot, Nvidia's Jetson Thor chip, and Sharpa's dexterous hands. The Isaac Gr00t platform aims to accelerate robotics research at institutions like Stanford and ETH Zurich, but the partnership with Chinese humanoid robot maker Unitree raises security questions as US lawmakers consider banning the company's robots from federally-funded research.
A groundbreaking study shows children as young as 3 can instinctively read intentions in human eyes but fail to recognize the same nonverbal communication in a humanoid robot's gaze. The findings challenge how we design AI systems for children, revealing that simply mimicking human signals isn't enough for effective child-robot communication.
Spain has unveiled its third quantum computer at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, integrating an analog quantum system into the MareNostrum 5 infrastructure. The €9.8 million machine, built by Barcelona-based Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech, marks a significant step toward European technological sovereignty in advanced computing capabilities.
Tempus AI shares jumped 9.55% following the launch of the IMS Open-Source Consortium, a first-of-its-kind digital pathology initiative with Yale New Haven Hospital and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The company also expanded its Next platform to cover six new cancer types and presented multimodal foundation model results trained on 2.5 million patient records at ASCO 2026.
Researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center developed the first comprehensive spatial atlas of tertiary lymphoid structures across 12 cancer types, using AI to analyze over 25,000 immune structures. The study shows that TLS maturation state, spatial location, and composition provide critical insights into cancer prognosis and treatment response, outperforming conventional biomarker measures.
Wake Forest University researchers developed an AI-based tool that reads routine ECG data to track biological development in children and adolescents. The Electrocardiographic Sex Index analyzes over 60,000 heart tests, revealing how electrical patterns change predictably as kids mature—offering researchers a precise developmental measure without needing hormone data or puberty staging.
Empa researcher Jimeng Wu developed an AI-powered virtual mouse that predicts how nanoparticles distribute in organs, potentially reducing animal testing in nanomedicine research. Built on data from 18 mouse studies, the model calculates nanoparticle behavior based on size, coating, and surface charge—offering a faster, cost-effective screening tool for drug delivery research.
Researchers at the University of Rochester have used physics-informed artificial intelligence to map the exact flow velocity of the brain's waste-clearing glymphatic system for the first time. The breakthrough reveals a dual-speed drainage blueprint where fluid moves 50 times faster across the brain's surface than through deep tissue, potentially unlocking early detection of neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease and concussions.
The Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory has unveiled a new AI inference service built from spare supercomputing capacity to accelerate scientific discovery. The service provides researchers across DOE labs with secure, cloud-like access to large language models without relying on public platforms like ChatGPT, supporting critical work including the Genesis Mission.
North Korea conducted weapons tests featuring AI-guided precision cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles with special warheads, and artillery rockets under Kim Jong Un's supervision. The cruise missiles, equipped with automatic target recognition technology, are designed to strike targets at 100 km and will be deployed near the South Korean border, putting Seoul within range.
China now requires AI experts at private firms to secure government approval before traveling abroad. The restrictions target startup founders, researchers, and executives at companies like Alibaba and DeepSeek, marking an expansion beyond state institutions. Beijing aims to prevent intellectual property leakage as the performance gap with U.S. AI models shrinks to just 2.7%.
A crisis in academic integrity is unfolding as AI hallucinations contaminate scientific literature at an alarming rate. Over 146,000 fabricated references generated by AI tools entered research papers in 2025 alone, with the vast majority bypassing peer review. The surge has sparked heated debate after arXiv announced bans for authors who fail to verify AI-generated citations, prompting backlash from academics who argue the policy is too strict.
DeepSeek is pursuing a $10 billion funding round that could value the AI startup at $45 billion, with founder Liang Wenfeng telling investors the company will focus on artificial general intelligence rather than commercialization. The Hangzhou-based startup continues to offer open-source AI models and a free chatbot despite generating limited revenue, setting it apart from global AI leaders focused on monetization.
Researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center developed an AI-based tool that identifies immune-related signals in routine bone marrow biopsy slides to predict which newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients will benefit most from specific therapies. The GigaTIME model analyzed 212 patients and found those with low CD16 levels had significantly better outcomes with daratumumab-based treatment.
