The founder of Unitree Robotics now expects a breakthrough in humanoids in as little as two years, a reversal for a Chinese entrepreneur who once predicted intelligent machines would take as long as decade to go mainstream.
Wang Xingxing, one of the countryโs most celebrated tech leaders, who created the nationโs biggest humanoid manufacturer a decade ago now predicts that, as soon as 2028, the machines can complete 80% of assigned tasks in the factory or home after receiving verbal orders โ an arbitrary threshold he defines as the โahaโ moment for practical robotic applications.

On a quiet industrial estate, engineers at British startup Rivan Industries are working to perfect a system to produce synthetic natural gas from water, sunlight and air.
Their work involves splitting hydrogen from water and capturing carbon-dioxide directly from the air, then combining the two gases to make green methane, a cleaner substitute for natural gas, the source of energy for around a quarter of European households. The entire process takes place in a modular unit, a sort of self-contained mini-power plant, powered by solar energy and that Rivan plans to mass produce.

The Kondo effect is one of the most important in quantum physics, describing the strange interference that magnetic atoms can have in metals.
Usually, as metals cool, they become better at conducting electricity, because the reduction in energy means electrons can flow more smoothly. Add in a magnetic atom or two, though, and below a certain temperature (the Kondo temperature), electrical resistance starts to rise again.
But in a physics first, researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Yale University in the US have managed to precisely quantify the effect in a real material via fundamental physics calculations.
"We are in an exciting era in which faithful predictive quantum descriptions of the full chemical complexity of real materials are coming within reach," โ says chemist Linqing Peng, from Caltech.

An AI research lab Radical Numerics in California has administered a custom AI-designed virus into a human patient for the first time as a potential scalable solution to counter antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
If verified, the treatment, named Omnii-1, could mark the first time AI-designed bacteriophages have been administered to a human patient. These phages are viruses that specifically infect bacteria. Antibiotic-resistant superbugs are projected to cause nearly 40 million deaths by 2050.
Radical Numerics claims that their AI-driven approach can lead to rapid, on-demand generation of phages that meet patient requirements, accelerating the timeline for treatment.
โThis milestone marks an early step toward translating AI-guided genome design into personalised therapies,โ โ Radical Numerics said.

Proton, the Swiss company behind Proton Mail and Proton VPN, is hosting a public map showing more than 300,000 Flock surveillance devices across the United States. The map draws on an inventory obtained by cybersecurity researcher Joshua Michael from Flockโs own systems. According to Proton, it includes more than 170,000 cameras and over 130,000 other devices.
Proton is offering another way to inspect Flock Safetyโs footprint, whose automated license plate readers are used by police and private customers. The systems record passing vehicles regardless of whether their drivers are suspected of an offense, creating searchable records of plates, locations, and timestamps. Vehicle characteristics can also help identify cars without a readable plate.

Anthropic filed for an IPO on Monday morning, aiming to take the company public in November. The prospectus showed first-half 2026 revenue of $16.3 billion and a net loss of $80.7 billion.
Share count and price range remain undisclosed. Previous reports have suggested a raise of as much as $100 billion at a $2 trillion valuation.
โWe believe that AI is one of the most consequential technologies in human history,โ โ said the company.
โIf managed well, it could rapidly accelerate scientific innovation, greatly increase economic growth rates, bring cures for major diseases within reach, and solve problems that have resisted generations of human effort.โ

Sunny Cheung, Executive Director at Shanghai Commercial Bank, outlined the institutionโs priorities in a video, emphasizing its commitment to โcross-border connectivity, enable programmable finance and unlock new tokenized investment opportunities.โ
He also stressed the importance of turning innovation into practical results, stating that โinnovation is not a slogan, itโs execution.โ
Ripple worked with Fubon Bank under the HKMA on tokenized real estate, programmable lending, and digital money. Shanghai Commercial Bank works with HashKey, and HashKeyโs institutional marketplace supports XRP and RLUSD.
Nium connects Stellar to international payouts across 190 countries. TopNod integrated Stellar for stablecoins and tokenized RWAs. Marketnode, backed by SGX and Temasek, is working with Stellar around institutional settlement. DTCC plans to connect tokenized securities to Stellar in H1 2027.
In Q2 2026, Stellar recorded approximately $4B in tokenized RWAs, 67 investment products, 10 regulated issuers, and $11.4B in stablecoin transfer volume. Hong Kongโs first regulated stablecoin licences, issued through HSBC and Anchorpoint and involving Standard Chartered, HKT, and Animoca Brands, add further weight to the picture.
XRP Ledger and Stellar already provide those functions. The analyst believes the real opportunity arrives when banks stop issuing tokenized assets and start moving, financing, exchanging, and settling them daily.
โThey are building the financial system that XRP Ledger and Stellar are already prepared to serve,โ โ X Finance Bull wrote. โThat is the connection Iโm watching.โ

The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) on Monday called on community banks to enter the stablecoin market, including by applying for permission to issue their own dollar-pegged tokens.
The regulator said it wants community banks to help shape the future of payments and encouraged them to apply directly or through subsidiaries to become permitted stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act.
โThese opportunities complement the OCCโs Community Bank Comeback initiatives to right-size regulation and tailor supervision so community banks can grow, compete, and continue serving their communities,โ โ said the OCC.

Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, joined the push to protect workers with "The Stability and Opportunity for Workers Act," a bill that would expand unemployment benefits during "high unemployment periods."
The bill would extend unemployment benefits for 52 weeks if the unemployment rate reaches 8.5%, double the current standard of up to 26 weeks. The bill would also assist workers displaced by AI disruption by providing them with education and retraining for higher-paying jobs.

Ripple announced new capabilities for Ripple Treasury designed to enable global businesses, including American Airlines, Trax, Christian Louboutin, Subway, Adecco and Kingfisher, to manage cash, liquidity, and payments around the clock.
Unveiled at Swell 2026, the announcement marks a significant step toward always-on corporate treasury, bringing together established treasury management functionality, AI-powered orchestration and digital rail infrastructure.
By connecting decisions with execution, Ripple Treasury helps finance teams reduce manual processes, respond faster to changing financial needs, and move toward truly always-on treasury operations.
โTreasury is moving from visibility to action, and the emerging challenge is orchestration: connecting trusted data, intelligence and the ability to move money so that better decisions turn into timely execution,โ โ says Kevin Permenter, Research Director of IDC.
โPlatforms that bring those layers together, rather than assembling them across providers, are addressing the constraint that matters most.โ๐ค

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) on Monday approved the worldโs first-ever secondary trading of tokenised public funds, reinforcing the cityโs push to build the regionโs leading ecosystem for tokenised finance.
โFor retail investors, this marks a vital upgrade in time sovereignty over fund management,โ โ said Katie He, head of strategic business at China Asset Management (Hong Kong), noting that trading was now available around the clock, including weekends and public holidays.
โTogether, we have proven that liquidity can be unlocked without altering the legal structure of public mutual funds or lowering investor protection standards,โ โ He said.
The move comes as Hong Kong authorities and financial institutions step up efforts to expand the use of tokenisation, hoping to cement the cityโs position as a fintech leader.

The Canadian government started a 60-day public consultation on draft stablecoin regulations, which maintain a ban on yield payments and require non-bank issuers to deposit their reserves with Canadian financial institutions.
The draft regulations are โrequired to bring the SCA into force and would prescribe the elements needed for issuers to register with the Bank of Canada,โ the government said.
Some crypto exchanges in Canada, however, are already paying rewards to stablecoin holders.
The stablecoin framework is expected to come into effect toward the end of 2027.
