signals in time.

Tesla's energy storage business deployed 13.7GWh in Q3 2026, its second-highest quarterly figure to date, while the division's revenues fell 16% year on year.

A newly FDA-cleared PTSD treatment uses personalized brain mapping and magnetic stimulation to target abnormal brain activity. A clinical trial reported a 52% reduction in symptoms and 68% remission, and researchers believe the technology could transform PTSD care.

Ars Technica's Rocket Report headline says SpaceX is declining military launches and that a Spanish rocket is nearly ready. The only supplied context is a quote stating Canada should be able to reach orbit on its own terms, so further details of the report are not provided.

Japan’s newly launched MMX spacecraft aims to investigate the origins of Mars’s moons Phobos and Deimos. How the two lumpy-looking moons formed remains unknown, and the mission is expected to soon offer answers.

MIT engineers have built a paper-thin swimming robot powered by living muscle cells that respond to flashes of light, allowing it to swim and steer through water. Researchers say the work could pave the way for tiny, self-healing biological robots for fragile environments.

Tango Therapeutics reported that an experimental drug combination led to tumor responses in 82% of patients with a certain type of advanced pancreatic cancer in a trial of the combo therapy. The figure is as reported by the company.

The article argues that automation engineers typically prioritize PLC logic, motion control, robot cells and system integration, treating the human-machine interface as a final layer configured once the control system works. In GMP pharmaceutical production, the author says, that order of priorities can backfire, citing a pharmaceutical filling line as an example.

Austria's third solar market premium auction of 2026 allocated 173 MW of PV capacity at a volume-weighted average price of €0.0642/kWh, drawing 195 successful bids. The average price was slightly higher than in the previous round.

Italy’s second FER2 auction for floating solar projects on inland waters allocated its entire 30 MW quota, following weak participation in the first round. Eight projects secured capacity, while two were excluded despite offering a 2% discount on the reference tariff.

A seven-year study found that people with Parkinson's disease who were more physically active experienced slower declines in memory, thinking, and movement abilities; those exercising more than eight hours per week showed almost no average cognitive decline. The findings suggest staying active may offer important benefits as the disease progresses.

In this hydrogen news roundup, an Italian company unveiled a seven-layer PEM electrolyzer assembly intended to reduce iridium use. Separately, another 100 companies wrote to the European executive body to preserve EU green hydrogen targets, and the European Commission selected 77 net-zero projects, including several hydrogen projects.

Google-owned Owlchemy Labs, the studio behind Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator, has announced Hyper Visor, a $1.99 arcade game for Xreal Aura in which players fire energy streams from their hands amid cracks appearing in reality. It is planned to arrive alongside the Android XR glasses.

Scientists at ETH have created robot actuators containing living skeletal muscle tissue grown from mouse cells, integrated with 3D-printed hydrogel scaffolds. Building life-sized humanoids covered in living tissue is described as a possible next step, not an achieved result.

Google is introducing a business hub to Gemini that allows it to retain a company's visual style for future marketing work. Users can provide a website, brand kit, fonts, or colors to avoid repeatedly uploading guidance for each new image.

Italian robotics company Generative Bionics plans to build what it says will be Europe's largest physical AI training facility, a "physical AI data factory" for humanoid robots, using AMD computing infrastructure to combine real-world robot training with large-scale digital twin simulation. The company says the first 5,000-square-metre facility will be built in Italy; its planned operational date is truncated in the source.

Solmeria, an online marketplace selling solar and battery energy storage systems directly to buyers, is now listing projects in Romania, in addition to its existing offers in France and Italy.

Chinese researchers have designed a hemispherical perovskite solar cell with a textured surface to improve light absorption and reduce sensitivity to sunlight incidence angles. Simulations showed absorption exceeding 95% and an average maximum power output of 28.25 mW/cm² across incidence angles of 0° to 50°.
