Rendezvous Robotics exits stealth with $3M to build reconfigurable space infrastructure

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-10-08 16:00:00

For decades, engineers designing space structures have been constrained by the rocket fairing: only hardware that can be folded up to fit inside can go to orbit. This makes in-space assembly time intensive and expensive. The International Space Station, the largest single object humanity has built in space, was assembled over dozens of launches and cost over $100 billion. And, of course, there is no way to modify or alter the structure once it has been assembled. Rendezvous Robotics wants to c

In the wake of Anthropic’s $1.5 billion copyright settlement, the AI industry is coming to terms with its training data problem. There are as many as 40 other pending cases that seek damages for unlicensed data — including one that takes Midjourney to court for creating images of Superman.

Researchers Create 3D-Printed Artificial Skin That Allows Blood Circulation

wired.com Ritsuko Kawai 2025-10-09 03:30:00

When treating severe burns and trauma, skin regeneration can be a matter of life or death. Extensive burns are usually treated by transplanting a thin layer of epidermis, the top layer of skin, from elsewhere on the body. However, this method not only leaves large scars, it also does not restore the skin to its original functional state. Unless the dermis, the layer below the epidermis, which contains blood vessels and nerves, is regenerated, it cannot be considered normal living skin. Now, wor
