Mercedes-Benz is introducing its MB.Drive Assist Pro system in Germany, making it the first automaker to offer advanced urban partially automated driving at SAE Level 2 in Germany, in addition to China and the USA. Customers with compatible models can test the feature free of charge for one month.

Agricultural equipment maker AGCO plans to deploy Agility's Digit humanoid robot at its Kansas production facility. According to The Robot Report, the pilot is expected to begin in 2027.

A new study found that excess RNA, including normally essential messenger RNA (mRNA), can directly disrupt mitochondria—the cell's energy-producing structures—without relying on the immune system. Researchers say the finding could help explain how viral infections and certain aging-related diseases damage cells.

Meta's Horizon OS v2.9 removes the Quest window anchor button and replaces it with wall snapping, letting windows attach when moved close to a wall. The update is rolling out gradually to Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S and Quest Pro starting this week, according to the report.

Pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape is relatively new to the energy storage space but is used in many industries for equipment protection, security and flexible configuration. The report says more BESS engineers would use it for enhanced safety, performance and easier assembly if they knew about it.

Distributed energy storage company Viridi and developer and financier Good Carbon Co. announced the deployment of a 3.75MWh indoor battery energy storage system using its "Fail-Safe Anti-Propagation architecture" at an affordable housing development in Buffalo, New York.

CleanTechnica reports that Canada plans to send offshore wind power from the Nova Scotia coast toward energy-thirsty communities, including parts of the United States. The outlet's headline characterizes the plan as a stab in the back for Trump.

NASA's CASALS instrument will combine machine learning with an ultra-compact lidar to adaptively sweep large swaths of Earth's surface from orbit. Current space-based laser instruments measure forests and terrain one narrow line at a time, leaving millions of acres never directly measured, and CASALS aims to bridge those gaps.

According to Anthropic's Claude Code changelog, version 2.1.304 adds a warning for Pro and Max subscribers before they resume an old conversation that would use a noticeable share of their 5-hour usage limit, offering the choice to resume anyway or start a new conversation.

Day 2 of RoboBusiness 2026, which marks the event's 20th anniversary, will feature keynotes on humanoid and social robots. This article serves as a guide to that day's program.

Solstar Space's Wi-Fi technology connected NASA's R5-S10 cubesat with Momentus' Vigoride-7 orbital service vehicle during a proximity operations demonstration and relayed data to NASA's Johnson Space Center, according to SpaceNews.

Snap announced that actor and producer Robert Downey Jr. has joined its Specs team as honorary Chief Customer Experience Officer (CCEO), working with the company's augmented reality team on original content, Lens experiences, and hardware collaborations for its SPECS AR glasses.

Scientists converted blood cells from an 80-year-old into neural stem cells with a molecular age of under 20, effectively reversing more than 60 years of cellular aging in the laboratory. The researchers say the discovery offers a new way to study how cells become younger and could help researchers better understand age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's; the work remains at the laboratory stage.

Research from Lightsource bp finds that combining automated foundation piling, steel-frame solar panels, bolt-free module installation and on-site pre-assembly could cut gigawatt-scale solar costs by 22% and reduce installation time of gigawatt-sized solar farms by up to 30%.

New rules in Türkiye allow businesses to use higher-powered batteries behind existing grid connections. This boosts possibilities beyond the grid-connection allowance for imports, provided controls prevent grid exports and excessive imports.

NVIDIA Sentry addresses the challenge of AI agents crossing security boundaries while completing assignments. Recent incidents have shown that agents can circumvent security controls during use.
