AI Can Reportedly Take Away More Than 2 Lakh Banking Jobs by 2030
Europe’s banking sector may reduce more than 200,000 jobs by 2030 as lenders adopt AI technologies and move services online, analysts say. The Morgan Stanley analysis reported by the Financial Times projects that roughly 10 per cent of roles at major banks could be lost, particularly in internal operations, with some institutions already announci...

Google’s Space-Based AI Data Centre Plan Faces Collision Risks in an Increasingly Crowded Orbit
Google’s Project Suncatcher aims to build a solar-powered AI data center in space. Experts warn the crowded Sun-synchronous orbit poses high collision risks from space debris, and without autonomous safeguards, even a single impact could trigger a cascade, scattering millions of fragments. This project underscores the urgent need for orbital debr...

Galaxy Collisions Found to Activate Supermassive Black Holes, Euclid Data Shows
Astronomers using ESA’s Euclid telescope and AI analysis have found that merging galaxies are significantly more likely to host active supermassive black holes. The gravitational chaos of a collision drives gas toward the galactic core, igniting AGN activity. This discovery strengthens the link between galaxy interactions and the energetic proces...

Indian Dance Mudras May Revolutionise Robotic Hand Control, UMBC Study Shows
Researchers are using classical Indian dance, especially Bharatanatyam mudras, to improve robotic hand dexterity. By analysing 30 structured mudras, scientists found they offer more versatile motion patterns than everyday grasps. These dance-derived synergies could enhance prosthetics, assistive robots, gesture-based rehabilitation and future human...

China Tests Humanoid Robots to Guide Travellers at Border Crossing
China has begun testing UBTech’s Walker humanoid robots at a border facility near Vietnam, aiming to use them for guiding travellers, managing queues and supporting logistics tasks. The robots, arriving in December, feature autonomous battery-swapping for extended operation. The US$37 million contract reflects Beijing’s ambition to dominate glo...

AI Model Learns to Predict Human Gait for Smarter, Pre-Trained Exoskeleton Control
Scientists at Georgia Tech have created an AI technique that pre-trains exoskeleton controllers using existing human motion datasets, removing the need for lengthy lab-based retraining. The system predicts joint behavior and assistance needs, enabling controllers that work as well as hand-tuned versions. This advance accelerates prototype developme...

Scientists Build One of the Most Detailed Digital Simulations of the Mouse Cortex Using Japan’s Fugaku Supercomputer
Researchers from the Allen Institute and Japan’s University of Electro-Communications have built one of the most detailed mouse cortex simulations ever created. Using Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer, the team modeled around 10 million neurons and 26 billion synapses, recreating realistic structure and activity. The virtual cortex offers a new plat...

UC San Diego Engineers Create Wearable Patch That Controls Robots Even in Chaotic Motion
UC San Diego engineers have developed a soft, AI-enabled wearable patch that can interpret gestures with high accuracy even during vigorous or chaotic movement. The armband uses stretchable sensors, a custom deep-learning model, and on-chip processing to clean motion signals in real time. This breakthrough could enable intuitive robot control for r...

German Team Uses Autonomous AI to Steer CubeSat in Space
Researchers at JMU Würzburg have achieved the first autonomous in-orbit satellite orientation using an AI controller on the InnoCube CubeSat. Trained through deep reinforcement learning, the AI repeatedly reoriented the spacecraft, demonstrating a major step toward fully autonomous, lower-cost satellite systems and future AI-managed missions.

AI-Assisted Study Finds No Evidence of Liquid Water in Mars’ Seasonal Dark Streaks
A large-scale AI analysis of more than two million Mars orbiter images shows that the planet’s dark slope streaks form through seasonal dust avalanches, not flowing briny water. The results settle a long-running debate, revealing that wind-driven dust activity shapes Mars’ surface and offering new insights into the planet’s climate past and e...
