Anthropic tested whether Claude, their AI assistant, can help engineers who work with robots. The experiment showed Claude's role is to assist human engineers with planning, debugging, and problem-solving — not to control the robots directly. One test failed, but that failure revealed important limits in robot design rather than AI design.
An unauthorized emergency alert was sent to cell phones across Brazil on June 20, 2026. The incident shows that emergency alert systems in many countries lack strong protections against hackers, and the damage from a fake alert goes beyond momentary panic.
In June 2026, NASA will send a robot to meet up with its 20-year-old Swift space telescope and push it to a higher orbit. This keeps the telescope working longer and tests a new way to repair old spacecraft.
An AI system called AlphaFold won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry by solving the longstanding problem of predicting protein shapes from their chemical building blocks. The breakthrough accelerates drug discovery and shows that artificial intelligence can achieve fundamental scientific breakthroughs.
AMD is restoring a built-in security feature called TSME to its Ryzen 9000 processors after customer complaints. The feature protects against theft of data from physical access to a powered-down computer.
Linux 7.2 has removed the last uses of an unsafe text-copying tool called strncpy() from its code. The function had a hidden flaw that could expose sensitive memory data. The kernel community has replaced it with safer alternatives, completing a multi-year cleanup effort.
SMPTE has made its complete library of technical standards freely available to anyone, ending the paywall that previously required membership or per-document fees. These standards define how broadcast equipment, streaming systems, and cinema technology work together.
NASA tested a rover prototype called ERNEST that can travel 10 times faster than current Mars rovers by navigating on its own instead of waiting for commands from Earth. In a desert test, it covered as much ground in one day as Apollo astronauts covered in three days on the Moon.
An investigation claims that the original hand-made illustrations in Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows were replaced with AI-generated images. The case raises questions about protecting artists' work and verifying what's real in published books.
Claude Guillemot, one of the five brothers who founded Ubisoft, died in a plane crash near La Baule, France on June 19, 2024. He was piloting the aircraft at the time.
