Scientists studying an interstellar comet passing through our solar system discovered it contains 30 times more heavy water than any comet from around our sun. The finding suggests our home solar system formed in unusually warm conditions compared to other star systems.
Scientists have discovered only the second infant solar system ever confirmed, giving us a rare window into how planets are born. The finding could help solve the mystery of how our own solar system came to be.
Over 700,000 tech workers are demanding their companies reject Pentagon pressure to develop fully autonomous weapons systems. While some AI firms cave to government demands, employee coalitions are taking a stand for ethical technology development.
South Korea will deploy 200 self-driving cars across an entire city for the first time, racing to catch up with China's autonomous vehicle technology. The project pairs Hyundai's vehicles with Samsung's insurance coverage to gather real-world data needed for commercialization.
A close call on a London roundabout became an unexpected demonstration of autonomous vehicle safety technology in action. When a Waymo car detected a cyclist with right-of-way, its sensors kicked in and stopped the vehicle in time.
The world's maritime authority just approved the first global safety rules for self-driving ships, setting the stage for safer seas by 2032. The move comes as autonomous vessel technology rapidly advances across international waters.
A Florida hospital is piloting an autonomous robot that tows hospital beds and wheelchairs, promising to slash wait times and reduce injuries among healthcare workers. The invention came from an ER doctor frustrated by hour-long trips down 200-yard hallways.
China's largest EV maker just announced an affordable self-driving system priced at just $1,770 and pledged to cover all crash costs when it's activated. The company's founder says the technology could help eliminate the 1.19 million traffic deaths that happen globally each year.
Egyptian engineers just launched the Arab world's first fully autonomous harvesting robot, proving local talent can build cutting-edge AI technology that competes globally. The innovation could transform regional agriculture while addressing labor shortages and rising costs.
Beth Israel Lahey Health turned its finances around with a bold bet on primary care doctors. The Massachusetts hospital system recruited dozens of physicians and struck new partnerships while competitors struggled.
