The initiative, known as the Intelligent Observatory programme, is being delivered through collaboration between the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Hartree Centre and the South African Astronomical Observatory (NRF-SAAO), a leading facility for optical and infrared astronomy. A partnership between the United Kingdom and South Africa is harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to transform how astronomical observatories operate, enabling telescopes to become smarter and more automated.

Image Credits: VellviiIntimate wellness products have evolved dramatically over the last decade. Today’s devices are beautifully engineered, thoughtfully designed, and increasingly positioned as part of modern self-care. Yet the way we store and charge them hasn’t kept up. Most still end up hidden in drawers, tangled with cables, or tucked away in pouches that feel more improvised than intentional.Image Credits: VellviiThe Vellvii DOX aims to change that narrative. Rather than treating intimate devices as something to hide, it approaches them with the same design thinking we’ve come to expect from luxury tech accessories. Think of it as a docking station,…

Honor’s Robot Phone is still more of a concept device than an actual product, but the company has promised it’s going to be launching by the end of this year. It’s not a robot, it’s a phone with a three-axis gimbal for (we assume) the main camera. There are still no specs of any kind, Honor has only done a few demos here and there with very limited functionality. According to a new rumor out of China, the Robot Phone will be launching in the third quarter of the year, so between July and September. Given the state of the…

“As AI workloads surge and package sizes expand, the industry is confronting very real mechanical constraints that impact the trajectory of high-performance computing,” says Deepak Kulkarni, a senior fellow at the chip design company Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). “One of the most fundamental is warpage.” That’s where glass comes in. It can handle the added heat better than existing substrates, and it will let engineers keep shrinking chip packages—which will make them faster and more energy efficient. It “unlocks the ability to keep scaling package footprints without hitting a mechanical wall,” says Kulkarni.  Momentum is building behind the shift. Absolics…

The initiative is aligned with the East Africa Community (EAC) Cross-Border Payment System Masterplan, which envisions a more integrated and efficient regional payments ecosystem. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK)  and the National Bank of Rwanda (NBR)  have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a Licence Passporting Framework for Payment Service Providers (PSPs) across the two countries. This framework is designed to streamline licensing processes by promoting mutual recognition of regulatory requirements, reducing duplication while maintaining strong oversight and supervisory standards. The initiative is aligned with the East Africa Community (EAC) Cross-Border Payment System Masterplan, which envisions a…
