AI’s Next Enterprise Bottleneck Is Not the Model. It Is the Cloud Foundation Beneath It.AI is changing what cloud must do to make it the foundation for enterprise-wide productivity, growth and competitive advantage.Yet 59% of workloads remain on-prem or in legacy environments and only 8% are dedicated to experimenting with advanced technology.Our playbook reveals three strategic pathways, with actions for advancing cloud maturity to enable enterprise-wide reinvention with AI.Accenture’s new report argues that many companies are pursuing ar...

MUJI has opened a new MUJI BASE hotel near Kyoto's famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple, promoting it as an "anti-tourism" accommodation that encourages visitors to experience local culture beyond traditional sightseeing.However, the marketing has sparked debate because the hotel is located in one of Japan's busiest tourist districts.The new MUJI BASE Kyoto Kiyomizu, which opened in May 2026, is located in Kyoto's Higashiyama district, only a short walk from Kiyomizu-dera, one of the city's most visited attractions. Rather than constructing a new bui...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) have successfully used teleoperated humanoid robots to perform live surgeries during a preclinical trial, marking the first time humanoid robots have completed surgical procedures. The breakthrough was published in the journal Nature and represents a significant step toward bringing versatile humanoid robots into future operating rooms.The research team completed two successful laparoscopic gallbladder removal procedures on large non-primate animals. In the first operation,...

The modern space race depends not only on advanced rockets and spacecraft but also on a reliable supply of critical minerals, metals, industrial gases, and fuels that enable satellite manufacturing, launch vehicles, and aerospace technologies.As governments and private companies accelerate investment in space exploration, securing these strategic materials has become an increasingly important geopolitical priority.Among the world's suppliers, China dominates the production of several of the most important space-related materials. It accounts...

Elorian, founded by the ex-Google Brain and DeepMind researcher Andrew Dai, believes that learning from, and reasoning about, images is fundamental to rapid intelligence gains. For nearly a decade, artificial intelligence has been dominated by large language models (LLMs) that learn and reason primarily through text. However, a new startup called Elorian AI is taking a fundamentally different approach, arguing that true artificial intelligence requires models that reason directly with images rather than translating them into words.Founded by...

New economic research might be pointing toward shift in thinking about what AI means for job market.Demographer Steven Ruggles forecasts the U.S. labor force will expand by only 9.1 million people in the 10 years ending in 2030 and contract by 2.1 million in the decade that follows.Ruggles says a shrinking labor force could bolster workers’ bargaining power, drive wages higher and increase the incentive to adopt AI.A new working paper found that slower population growth is associated with higher gross domestic product per working-age adult...

The Rydberg atom-based device could be a fraction the size of existing antennae.Modern battlefields are saturated with radio-frequency signals—from communications and radar to drone control and electronic warfare. In such environments, the ability to quickly and accurately determine the source of these signals can offer a decisive tactical advantage. A new quantum sensor developed by researchers at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) aims to do just that, condensing complex signal-detection capabilities into a device roughly the size of...

American artist Cory Infinite has created a one-of-a-kind version of the Adidas Adistar XLG 2.0, transforming the sneaker into a wearable artwork using recycled Ethernet cables. Developed in collaboration with Adidas Originals, the custom pair was handcrafted in Kansas City for musician Teezo Touchdown to wear during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.The original sneaker is almost completely covered with recycled Ethernet cables, with approximately 170 cable segments attached to each shoe using zip ties. The transparent RJ45 connectors create a highly...
