Icarus raises $6.1M to take on space’s “warehouse work” with embodied-AI robots

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-09-24 05:00:00

Icarus Robotics cofounders Ethan Barajas and Jamie Palmer spent hours interviewing astronauts about what it was like working in space as they homed in on their startup idea.

If an experiment takes two hours on station, the person continued, the first ninety minutes are spent just moving around cargo and preparing tools. It’s a dismal waste of to

Around 90% of an Earthquake’s Energy Doesn’t Do What You Think It Does

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-09-25 13:30:30

Earthquakes can be deadly and disastrous. But what we feel may constitute a tiny sliver of an earthquake’s destructive energy, according to a new experiment. In a recent AGU Advances paper, researchers describe how they created “lab quakes,” or miniature versions of natural earthquakes created in a controlled laboratory. Doing so allowed the team to derive a complete energy budget for the quakes, a “simplified analog” of real-life earthquakes, they reported in the paper. Surprisingly, they fou

EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen met US Energy Secretary Chris Wright in Brussels on 11 September. Following her State of the European Union address to the European Parliament last week, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen got an earful from MEPs angry about her “surrender deal” with Donald Trump. Iratxe Garcia Perez, leader of the centre-left S&D group, blasted von der Leyen’s hypocrisy in calling for Europe to have courage and fight when she herself showed no courage with Trump.
