"At the earliest days of a deep tech company, you are trying to paint a future that no one knows exists. You have your unique vision of a future and you have to convince everybody around you to come along with you, even though all the odds are stacked against you."
“AI is no longer confined to planning or analytics. It is moving into physical execution. This transition exposes a critical gap. Traditional automation excels at repetition but struggles with adaptability. Physical AI closes that gap by enabling human‑led, AI‑operated systems, where people set intent and intelligent systems execute, learn, and improve over time.”

“Thermoelectric generators, which convert temperature differences into electricity, are attracting attention as a next-generation energy technology for wearable electronics because they can supply power without batteries. In particular, thin-film thermoelectric generators are lightweight and flexible, allowing them to be comfortably attached to skin or clothing.” (via Tech Xplore)
