MaiaSpace Ditches Suborbital Test Flight Plans

Most of the $18.8 billion that flowed into robotics startups in the first half of 2026 went to companies working on making robots smarter. Enigma, which emerged from stealth on July 27, took a different bet with its $71 million seed round: the problem isn’t that robots aren’t smart enough — it’s that no one…

Unaddressed implications of the FDA’s 2026 guidance on wellness devices

Water accumulates in the steeps between them, so I think that might help they get bigger. But how do they form exactly? submitted by /u/Arth-the-pilgrim [comments]

A prototype quantum sensor developed by researchers at Imperial College London has provided the first real-world demonstration that a crucial concept behind future quantum detectors can work outside of idealized laboratory assumptions. The research showed that comparing two long-baseline atom interferometers, highly sensitive instruments that use lasers to track the motion of atoms, can effectively…

Rocket Lab is expanding its launch operations to the snowy north. The California-based company, which already flies from New Zealand and Virginia, just inked a $266 million deal with the U.S. Space Force to fly up to 18 missile-defense missions, most of them from Alaska. “The size and scale of this contract reflects the Space…

Scientists at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) have taken a new look at Earth’s violent beginnings and found that ancient asteroid impacts may have played a key role in making the planet habitable. Their computer models suggest that repeated collisions did far more than reshape the young Earth’s surface. They also created extensive hydrothermal systems, hot…
