Home automation enthusiasts and tech innovators are pushing boundaries, with developments ranging from futuristic control panels to advancements in AI and network technology. A recent project saw an individual creating a Star Trek-inspired control panel for their living room, while researchers are developing new antenna technology for future 6G networks. Simultaneously, the nuclear energy sector is experiencing a potential resurgence, and AI notetaking technology is evolving.
Ursa Wright, a video editor, used ESPHome and LVGL to build a control panel reminiscent of the LCARS interface seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation, according to The Verge. This project reflects a growing trend in home automation, a hobby that gained traction during the pandemic.
In the realm of AI, Wired highlighted the emergence of advanced AI notetakers designed to record meetings, interviews, and classes. These tools aim to address the challenges of note-taking, such as poor handwriting and the need for transcription. Several options are available, including the Comulytic Note Pro and the Open Vision Engineering Pocket, with features like translation capabilities.
The nuclear energy sector is also seeing significant developments. Fortune reported that companies like Bill Gates' TerraPower and Sam Altman-backed Oklo are starting to make deals. Chris Levesque, who joined TerraPower a decade ago, noted the industry's historical stagnation, citing the Vogtle project in Georgia as an example of cost overruns and delays.
Meanwhile, research in Singapore, France, and the US has led to the design of a compact antenna capable of handling information-rich terahertz (THz) signals, as reported by Phys.org. This topological antenna could pave the way for 6G networks.
Finally, Vox discussed the decline of burglary and robbery, highlighting how technological advancements have made homes, cars, and wallets safer.
