The Apache 2.0 licence is a significant shift from previous Gemma releases. Google has released Gemma 4, the latest […]
A new quantum algorithm ran a 15-step nonlinear fluid simulation around a solid obstacle on real quantum hardware, the most physically complex publicly documented demonstration of its kind. The technique reduces qubit requirements and circuit depth, bringing industrial CFD applications closer to feasibility. Finnish simulation company Quanscient and quantum middleware developer Haiqu have demonstrated what […]
A deal would give Amazon’s Leo satellite programme access to Globalstar’s L-band spectrum and operational infrastructure, a shortcut in its race to rival SpaceX’s Starlink. Apple’s stake, which powers Emergency SOS on iPhones, has made negotiations significantly more complex.

Hi inov led the round. Covalo, the Zurich-based platform connecting personal care ingredient suppliers with brands, […]
The Paris techbio company screens microbial genomes to find molecules that evolution spent three billion years producing, and claims to have characterised more novel small molecules in 2025 than the rest of the field combined. Alven and Daphni co-led the Series A. Generare, the Paris-based techbio company reading microbial genomes for molecules that drug development […]
WhatsApp has notified approximately 200 users, primarily in Italy, that they were tricked into installing a counterfeit version of the messaging app that was actually government spyware. The fake application was built by SIO, an Italian surveillance technology company that develops spyware for law enforcement and intelligence agencies through its subsidiary ASIGINT. WhatsApp said it […]
Karin Keller-Sutter, Switzerland’s finance minister and the country’s former president, has filed criminal charges for defamation and insult after Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok was prompted by an anonymous user to generate a torrent of sexist and vulgar remarks about her on X.
