Never Look Back: Understanding Persistence in 3D Object Memory from Egocentric Videos
As we move through the world and carry out everyday tasks, we encounter objects that may become relevant only later. We are capable of recalling where we left something or what was inside a container, even without knowing we would need it later. Here, we study how an embodied assistant can build a similar memory from egocentric videos, by observing a person's day-to-day activities. We present Ledger, a persistent 3D object memory that combines object locations, their histories, and contextual de

CVE-2026-107575 Progressive Robot hMailServer SPF Macro Expansion resource consumption

Interface Doping Mechanism of p-Type Conductivity in Mist-CVD-Grown LiGa5O8 Thin Films
LiGa5O8 is an ultrawide-bandgap oxide semiconductor that has recently been experimentally demonstrated to exhibit p-type conductivity; however, the origin of the observed p-type transport remains poorly understood. In this work, we investigate the origin of p-type conductivity by systematically comparing the electrical, compositional, and structural properties of mist chemical vapor deposition (mist-CVD) grown LiGa5O8 thin films exhibiting either p-type conductivity or insulating behavior under

What is attribution science? The critical climate research that Big Oil would rather you didn’t believe in
Climate science has been clear for decades: Since at least the 1950s, oil and gas companies have known that their fossil fuels release planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. And we’ve known that those emissions cause dangerous planetary impacts like the melting of our ice caps, rising sea levels, and “potentially serious environmental damage worldwide,” as one 1968 study put it. In the years since, experts learned even more about how climate change fuels extrem

Nvidia's big bet on physical AI aims for safer robotaxis, humanoid robots
Investors bullish on AI data centers may be fueling Nvidia’s multi-trillion-dollar market capitalization, but the AI chipmaker has also bet billions of dollars on physical AI technologies such as robotics and self-driving cars. Part of that gambit has involved Nvidia developing a full-stack safety system that companies can build upon to reduce the risk of their machines harming nearby people. Nvidia's Halos system launched in 2025 with hardware and software tools to help developers implement guardrails in self-driving cars and other autonomous vehicles.

The real threat to U.S. hardtech leadership is China’s rules
American hardtech venture is finally being taken seriously. Deep tech funds are outperforming conventional VC. The opportunity is real, and it’s being funded the way it should be, by investors who bear the cost of being wrong. But there’s an elephant in this room, and it isn’t a coastal fund getting into the game without the capital, infrastructure, or institutional knowledge to truly back physical technology. It’s a structurally different kind of competitor entering t

Constraints on Primordial Oscillatory Features from the Power Spectrum and Bispectrum of Redshift-Space Galaxy Clustering in DESI DR1
We constrain oscillatory features in the primordial power spectrum using the public DESI DR1 galaxy and quasar clustering data. Our analysis is based on a custom pipeline for the redshift-space power spectrum and bispectrum of the six main DESI DR1 tracers, modeled with the Lagrangian effective field theory,which provides a principled resummation of the non-linear damping of the features. We consider oscillations that are linear and logarithmic in wavenumber, and, for the first time, consistentl
Structure alone supports efficient visual computation in the Drosophila visual system
Understanding the extent to which measured synaptic wiring determines computation remains a central challenge. Here, we couple the proofread adult Drosophila melanogaster connectome to an anatomically faithful model of its eye. Visual information is inputted in the eye model, then passed to the connectome, and finally read from a Kenyon-cell-centered linear decoder. This creates a connectome-only model in which the anatomical graph and eye geometry are fixed and only scalar synaptic gains and ne

The next competitive advantage is infrastructure
Businesses and policymakers are racing to build an economy centered on AI, and it’s quickly becoming one of the biggest economic bets in history. Billions of dollars are flowing into numerous sectors to support it, and states are competing to attract investment while companies seem to announce major expansions every day. The U.S. is trying to build the AI economy as quickly as possible, but these ambitions depend on something less visible: infrastructure. In 2025, the American Society of C

Feedback to the primary visual cortex is highly concentrated on the central visual field representation
Retrograde tracer injections in marmoset monkeys revealed a striking feature of neural circuitry in primate visual system: among neurons projecting to the primary visual cortex (striate cortex, V1), the proportion of extrastriate feedback neurons relative to thalamic feedforward neurons decreases markedly with visual field eccentricity. This supports the Central-Peripheral Dichotomy theory, which proposes fundamentally distinct computational specializations --- visual recognition and attentional

Magnetic Order from First-Principles Linear Response
The magnetic order of a material is usually predicted by comparing the energies of trial spin configurations, a strategy that cannot reach orders outside the chosen set and rapidly becomes intractable as the number of magnetic sites grows. We show that the order can instead be identified directly from the paramagnetic state: the leading eigenmodes of its self-consistent magnetization response, obtained with spin--orbit coupling at arbitrary wavevector within the primitive cell, determine both th

We’re placing the wrong bets on innovation
I became a social entrepreneur at 14, working in partnership with other students to make our high school a more welcoming home to students with disabilities. We saw what the adults did not: Bullying and harassment could not be wished away with detentions and scoldings. The change required students standing up for one another, changing our school culture one relationship at a time. For more than 30 years I have supported over a million young people working to change the world. From a water fil

Tetris3D: 3D Scene Generation With Objects That Fit Together
We propose Tetris3D, a generative framework for single-image 3D scene reconstruction that recovers objects which are physically and geometrically coherent as a scene. Existing methods often generate objects independently or couple them implicitly, providing limited guidance for ensuring fine-grained spatial compatibility between neighboring objects that interact with one another. To address this, we explicitly condition the generation of each object on the geometry of surrounding objects and the

Do Generative Priors Align with Human Naturalness Perception?
Visual generative models are trained to capture the probability distributions of natural images, yet whether their native priors reflect the regularities governing human perception of image naturalness remains an open question. Here, we probe these priors through native prediction errors across 25 open image and video generators. Because raw single-image losses are dominated by scene content and visual complexity, we evaluate directional loss differences using content-preserving, paired relation

Decoupling Exploration from Optimization in RLVR
Modern language models undergo reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) on top of already-trained checkpoints. A key promise of RLVR is the discovery of new reasoning strategies. In principle, a model can sample novel ideas absent from its prior training data. In practice, however, augmenting RLVR with strong novelty incentives has seen limited success and can degrade model quality. Because verifiable rewards supervise only a narrow slice of the model's knowledge and behavior, such
