ABB Robotics has partnered with California-based bionics company Psyonic, in a project to develop more dexterous industrial robots and accelerate the adoption of physical AI in manufacturing and logistics environments.The collaboration aims to address one of the biggest challenges facing physical AI: teaching robots to handle objects with the same dexterity as humans. Psyonic provides its Ability Hand, originally developed as a prosthetic device, to the partnership.Combining touch sensing, vibration feedback and articulated finger movement, the device is used by humans to generate training data for their robotic counterparts. Using the data, robots can learn complex grasping and handling tasks that…

A new experimental GLP-1 pill could make it easier for people with type 2 diabetes to access treatments that help control blood sugar and support weight loss. At the American Diabetes Association’s Scientific Sessions, Mass General Brigham researcher Vanita Aroda, MD, presented results from SOLSTICE, a phase 2b randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating the oral GLP-1 receptor agonist elecoglipron. The findings were published simultaneously in The Lancet. The study found that elecoglipron significantly lowered blood glucose levels and reduced body weight in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers say the results highlight the growing potential of oral GLP-1 medications to…
The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a challenge from the gun industry to a New York law that allows firearms makers to be sued when harm is caused by third parties. Without comment, the justices refused to hear the challenge brought by National Shooting Sports Foundation, a firearms trade group. They were supported in its appeal by about a half-dozen gun makers. New York’s law allows dealers and gun makers to be sued under a public nuisance law for endangering public safety. Four justices would have needed to vote in favor of weighing the challenge for oral arguments to be…
In the days after Iran and the United States reached a preliminary agreement to pause their war, Iranian politicians, generals, and clerics from a range of political factions described the deal as a victory that showed Tehran’s resilience against a far more powerful enemy.That is the position Iran’s leaders are pushing even though the country lost a slew of its top political and military figures, suffered a battering to its stock of ballistic missiles and was left with an economy strained even further by a naval blockade.“Iran has taken a major step toward final victory,” Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker…

Potential Barriers to Switching From IVIg to SCIgNot everyone with CIDP can switch to SCIg. For example, some people have an allergy to hyaluronidase or albumin, which is used with HyQvia.[5][4]If your dose of SCIg requires you to do multiple injections with each treatment, it can feel challenging and uncomfortable, says Nayar. “Local injection site reactions with skin changes can be bothersome.”You can’t take SCIg at home if you can’t physically operate your self-infusion equipment or if you don’t have a caregiver to help, says Bath. SCIg may also not work well if your CIDP is progressing fast, and you…
The progress so far shows that flexibility can work, at least in some situations, but only a small fraction of operators have pursued it as yet. “We’re just in the beginning innings of the game,” says Jesse Jenkins, one of the authors of the 2025 Princeton study and cofounder of Firma, a startup that works on data-center flexibility. “People are recognizing that this is a potential solution. The motivation is there; there are some bespoke examples. But there’s no uniform solution set that’s the default option, which is where we need to get.” While data centers are going up across…
