Researchers using advanced imaging found that statins can attach to a key protein in muscle cells and force open a channel that normally regulates calcium flow, causing continuous calcium leakage that may damage muscle tissue. The finding is presented as an explanation for why statins can sometimes cause muscle pain, weakness, or severe muscle damage; the context does not state whether this has been verified in humans.

AnySignal announced an agreement with Reflect Orbital to provide space-to-Earth communications for three of Reflect Orbital's inaugural missions.

Avenda Health has expanded its Unfold AI platform with a Surgery Mode that provides patient-specific 3D maps, offering an enhanced view of cancer anatomy during robotic prostate procedures to support intraoperative prostate cancer care.

Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute has formed a PV technology alliance with seven domestic companies to develop a local supply chain for tunnel oxide passivated contact back-contact (TBC) solar cells, and is promoting a laser-assisted silver-coated copper electrode technology that could cut cell production costs by 8%.

A U.S. startup has launched a pilot program for flywheel energy storage with a capacity of 200 kWh. Individual Pulsar units are expected to achieve a capacity of 500 kWh with a 125 kW discharge rate.

Spanish olive oil producer Acesur has begun constructing a 3.65 MW agrivoltaic plant in Jaén, Spain. This project features elevated solar modules above an existing olive grove and includes a 3 MWh battery storage system to supply power to the company's nearby packaging facility.

The Robot Report has compiled a schedule of everything happening on the first day of RoboBusiness 2026 in Santa Clara, California.

The adoption of artificial intelligence in the tech sector, driven largely by Silicon Valley, shows trends that other industries can learn from. As generative AI and automation tools mature, the shifts currently affecting software engineering and product management are expected to spread.

Anthropic has published a research post, dated October 16 and authored by Nathan Wilmers, Regina Catipon, Maxim Massenkoff and Peter McCrory, stating that reading everything written by its Claude agents would take non-technical employees more than half their working week, and laying out the arithmetic behind the claim.

The article discusses how confidentiality gaps around AI tools are becoming a liability for robotics firms, noting that compressed deadlines and growing demand make browser-based AI assistance tempting for developers.

Scientists suggest the aging brain may shift from remembering details to understanding the bigger picture rather than simply losing abilities, a change they propose could be an evolutionary adaptation helping older adults develop wisdom and share decades of knowledge with younger generations.

Researchers in China and Italy developed a framework to assess fire risks in building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) façades, identifying electrical and material-related hazards as key factors and highlighting rapid shutdown, ignition prevention and fire-spread suppression as priority safety measures.

According to pv magazine, development finance institutions from Norway and Denmark have acquired a 49% stake in a 500 MW solar project in the Philippines.

SteamOS 3.9 gives freshly installed machines a different Wi-Fi backend, while upgraded systems are unchanged. The 3.9.3 beta notes state that existing installations will continue to use iwd unless manually enabled in Developer Settings.

Zinc hybrid cathode battery and storage system maker Eos Energy Enterprises has released preliminary Q3 results, reporting its highest quarterly revenue to date alongside a narrowing gross margin loss.

US utility Dominion Energy plans to build 3.5GW of battery energy storage systems (BESS) over the next 20 years, according to its recently filed integrated resource plan (IRP).

OpenAI has published four new reports detailing incidents of its internal AI models misbehaving, all of which occurred in June. According to OpenAI's misalignment reports site, the longest gap between discovery and publication was 112 days.
