Meta is patenting a way for smart glasses to understand what you're saying even when you make no sound at all, by reading the tiny muscle movements your face makes when you silently mouth words.How Meta's Silent-Speech Glasses Would WorkEver tried to ask your voice assistant something in a quiet library or a loud crowd, only to feel awkward speaking out loud? Meta's patent tackles exactly that situation by letting the glasses do the listening without any actual sound involved.The idea is that when you mouth a word, your face and jaw muscles...

Six common misconceptions about AI-driven IT modernization can undermine value, increase risk, and slow progress. Here’s what leaders should do instead.Using the right AI for the right task and context can reduce modernization costs by 25% to 35% and accelerate implementation by 30% to 40%.AI-driven modernization should be a selective, value-led transformation that focuses on improving critical systems and achieving meaningful business outcomes, rather than undertaking a blanket technical upgrade.AI can accelerate every stage of modernizati...

Seaglider development is shifting from prototype demonstration toward serial production, with defense contracts and multi-continent order books signaling the segment's move from concept to commercial delivery.REGENT Craft, the Rhode Island-based developer and manufacturer of Seaglider vessels, announced on August 27, 2026 that it raised $240 million in a Series B funding round comprising an equal mix of equity and debt.

Nvidia’s latest results once again underlined that the AI boom shows no signs of slowing down. Last quarter, the company returned to triple-digit growth, doubling revenue and net income, the latter already exceeding $100 billion halfway through the current fiscal year. And yet, behind the extraordinary spending on chips and data centers looms a harder question: when and how will all that investment pay off?One reason for the skepticism is that much of the AI economy still looks suspiciously circular. Hyperscalers are investing hundreds of b...

UC San Diego engineers share results from the first fully integrated smart ring for continuous biochemical monitoring from sweat.Engineers at the University of California San Diego created a smart ring that simultaneously and continuously monitors up to four different chemical biomarkers from finger sweat. The complete array of biomarkers the smart ring can monitor in sweat consists of: glucose, ketones, vitamin C, uric acid, lactate and alcohol.In a new paper published in Nature Communications, UC San Diego engineers in the lab of Jose...

The idea of letting a machine do the driving for you may put a lot of people off autonomous vehicles. But research could make it possible to backseat-drive an autonomous vehicle just as you might with a human driver.Self-driving cars carefully balance a host of parameters to ensure a smooth ride, including things like speed, acceleration, and the smoothness of turns. But human driving preferences can often vary depending on how much of a rush they’re in, whether they’re feeling carsick, or how busy the traffic is.These cars have a software...

Specialized microbes transform inedible material into protein-rich snacks.Plastic might be the last ingredient you would ever add to a cookie recipe. But a team of researchers is looking to change that. They’ve programmed yeasts to turn plastic and agricultural waste into edible proteins and flavoring molecules, creating a treat from trash. The technology not only offers a new upcycling method but could also sustain life in disaster zones or even deep-space missions with humans aboard.The researchers will present their results at the fall m...
