Not long to go until 18 May. Are you excited?Not really. In between, I was working on the stage show for BTS’ comeback concert at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul. That was a huge production with 260,000 spectators. And in mid-April, for the first time, I also did a WrestleMania event in Las Vegas. For Eurovision, we’ve been in the intense rehearsal phase since May 4. It’s not just the final, there are two semi-finals beforehand as well. First a few full run-throughs without the performers, then with them.Florian Wieder did the set design for BTS’s comeback concert at Gwanghwamun Square…

Unitree is already one of the most recognizable names in the humanoid robot industry, but now it’s pursuing even nicher sci-fi tech: giant mech suits. The Chinese robotics company has debuted the GD01, which it describes as “the world’s first production-ready manned mecha,” and it can be yours for a paltry $650,000.What is it for? Well, Unitree doesn’t really explain its intended functionality, but the GD01’s introductory video on YouTube provides some ideas. Unitree shows it knocking over a wall of cinderblocks and switching between bipedal position (which, to me, resembles the Power Loader that Ellen Ripley pilots in Aliens)…

New research reinforces scientific evidence that climate extremes can raise the risk of armed conflict, especially when drought conditions pass critical thresholds in vulnerable regions, including parts of Africa and Southeast Asia.  The study, published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, analyzed detailed climate and armed-conflict data from 1950 to 2023. The researchers said they found statistically significant links between conflicts and climate impacts from two well-documented natural climate cycles: El Niño in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean Dipole.  Both are cyclical ocean temperature shifts that alter rainfall, storm and drought patterns across large…

Image: SEG Solar SEG Solar is expanding its US manufacturing footprint again, this time with a new 4-gigawatt solar module factory planned for Houston, Texas. The company said today that the new facility will add nearly 500,000 square feet of manufacturing space and increase SEG’s total US solar module production capacity to around 6 GW annually. Commercial operations are expected to begin in Q3 2026. SEG says the Houston project represents more than $200 million in investment and will create up to 800 jobs. The expansion comes as US solar manufacturers continue to build more production capacity amid growing demand…

Less than a year ago, astronomers spotted a comet passing through our solar system that originated far beyond it. The object, known as 3I/ATLAS, is only the third confirmed interstellar visitor ever detected, and scientists are now uncovering clues about the alien environment where it formed. A new study led by researchers at the University of Michigan suggests the comet was born in conditions far colder than those that shaped our own solar system. The findings come from an analysis of the comet’s unusual water composition, which revealed extraordinarily high levels of deuterium, a heavier form of hydrogen. The research…

For years, AI researchers have anticipated the moment when AI systems will be able to improve themselves better than humans could. With investors pouring money into a new generation of research-driven AI labs, there are more resources than ever available to pursue the goal. Now, one of those neolabs has taken a major step towards making it real. On Wednesday, Adaption introduced a new product called AutoScientist that helps models learn specific capabilities quickly by using an automated approach to conventional fine-tuning. The techniques are applicable to a wide range of fields, but the Adaptation team is particularly focused on…
