Researchers at the University of Basel in Switzerland are developing a miniature intraoral robot called MIR that attaches directly inside a patient's mouth to perform tooth drilling for dental crowns. The robot mounts onto a custom-fitted dental splint anchored to the teeth, meaning it moves with the patient's head rather than requiring them to stay perfectly still. Its larger components — motor and controls — remain outside the mouth, connected via cables and a drive shaft, similar to how a car transfers power from engine to wheels. The goal is to reduce the number of dental visits required for a crown: currently, patients need multiple appointments to prepare the tooth, fit a temporary crown, and receive the final crown. With MIR, a dentist could scan the mouth and order the permanent crown in the first appointment. The robot has so far been tested on ceramic teeth in a simulated patient mouth and is not yet ready for human use. The team plans to add sensors and a camera to allow the robot to track its own position continuously, including during power outages. #Dentistry #Robotics #MedicalTech #Innovation #Health

Now weakened to a tropical storm, Maysak is dumping heavy rainfall across Guangxi as it moves inland — Nanning, a city of nearly 9 million, raised its flood response to the highest level after a reservoir breach was reported in Hengzhou, while floodwaters submerged cars and roads 273 km away in Guigang, where water levels at the local hydrological station reached 42 meters by midday Monday.

A viral video showing a humanoid robot seemingly attacking coworkers in an Indonesian office was a choreographed demonstration, not a real AI malfunction. The stunt was designed to showcase the robot’s agility and lifelike movements, highlighting how realistic robotics can blur the line between entertainment and reality online.

Researchers at Peking University have developed what they describe as the world's first neural dynamical system chip based on phase-change memristors, achieving a single-step computation latency of 2.12 milliseconds — the first time neural dynamical hardware has entered the millisecond era. The chip outperforms current dedicated accelerators by 3.82 to 36.27 times in speed, and in brain cortex surface reconstruction tasks is up to 478 times faster than advanced GPUs, according to the researchers. The breakthrough addresses a core bottleneck in traditional computing architecture: the separation of memory and computation, which forces massive amounts of data to shuttle repeatedly between memory and processors. The team exploited a physical property of phase-change memory called "conductance drift" to create a new paradigm called controllable in-memory computing, where computation happens within the memory device itself rather than requiring separate data movement. Matrix multiplication and accumulation are integrated into a memory-computing array measuring just 0.28 square millimeters, fabricated using a 40-nanometer process. The chip produces smooth, topologically consistent 3D brain reconstructions from incomplete and noisy data. Potential applications include brain-computer interfaces, intraoperative neural navigation, early Alzheimer's screening, and personalized brain disease intervention. The research was published in Science on Friday. #China #Semiconductors #AI #Neuroscience #Tech

South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix has launched a US listing on the Nasdaq, looking to raise approximately $28 billion through the sale of 17.79 million new shares in American Depositary Receipts. The deal is expected to be the second-largest share sale on record, behind SpaceX's $85.7 billion IPO last month, surpassing Saudi Aramco's $25.6 billion offering in 2019. The final listing price is due Thursday, with trading set to begin Friday. SK Hynix's Seoul-listed shares are up approximately 273% this year, driven by surging global demand for AI-related stocks. The company is a key supplier of high-bandwidth memory chips to Nvidia and Google, and has outperformed rivals Samsung and Micron during the AI boom. Proceeds will be used to build chip factories in South Korea and purchase chipmaking equipment including ASML's extreme ultraviolet scanners. The US listing is expected to reduce the valuation gap with Micron and open SK Hynix to a broader pool of American investors who previously couldn't easily access the stock. "SK Hynix has been one of the most important companies in the world that most US institutions could not easily own," said Dave Mazza of Roundhill Investments. SK Hynix is also expected to join the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, paving the way for passive investment inflows. #SKHynix #Nasdaq #AI #Semiconductors #IPO
