Accessing the brain unlocks more capabilities than most companies are building for. We're starting to ask what else is possible.
Paradromics CEO and Founder @Matt_R_Angle recently joined journalist Moira Gunn at @SynBioBeta 2026 to reveal what happens when you treat neural data as a platform rather than a pathway to a single application.
The same hardware that helps someone regain the ability to communicate can be repositioned to help control a robotic arm. Place the device in areas of the brain involved in mood and cognition, and you're reading out something entirely different.
Each time you place the device in a new brain area, you open up new frontier applications.
Congrats to @FocusedEnergy_1 on a landmark $240M round — the largest fully secured Series A in the history of global fusion energy. This is a major step toward making laser fusion an industrial reality. Proud to have been a partner on this journey. 🔬📷

Prime Movers Lab just invested in the @hark_labs $700M Series A. @adcock_brett built Archer. Then @Figure_robot ($39B valuation). Then self-funded Hark before taking a single institutional dollar. When Brett starts something new, we show up. We're in.🔗 See why we invested: https://t.co/umQjQ6dL1C
Congrats to @adcock_brett and the entire @Hark team on an incredible milestone. $700M raised at a $6B valuation — and we're proud to be investors alongside an exceptional syndicate. The vision of a truly personal intelligence that thinks with you is exactly the kind of breakthrough science we back at Prime Movers Lab. The future is being built.
Today I'm excited to share that Hark has raised $700M at a $6B valuation
When I use these AI models today, they feel basic. They should be able to listen and talk naturally, understand vision, retain persistent memory, and become deeply personalized over time. They should be able to see the world, interact with it, and take action
To build that future, the capital we raised today will be used to:
→ scale our GPU infrastructure
→ accelerate future AI model development
→ grow the Hark team from ~70 to 200 engineers
→ design and build the next generation of AI hardware
The Series A round was led by Parkway Venture Capital with participation from NVIDIA, Align Ventures, AMD Ventures, ARK Invest, Brookfield, Greycroft, Intel Capital, Prime Movers Lab, Qualcomm Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Tamarack Global
At Hark, we are building the most advanced personal intelligence in the world. Intelligence that begins to think like you and sometimes, ahead of you to offload your mental workload
Proud to lead the $14.3M seed round in @ThePathAI — an AI therapy and coaching app co-founded by @TonyRobbins. 1 in 5 people experience a mental health condition. AI can close that gap. Read more in @TechCrunch. https://t.co/pXedhb8Kg9
Visited @Figure_robot's campus last month, an AI Robotics company building the world's first commercially viable autonomous humanoid robot.
Congrats to @adcock_brett and the team — and proud to be part of this journey alongside @DakinSloss and @PrimeMoversLab.
Here’s a look inside the lab — watch live 👇
Watch a team of humanoid robots running a full 8-hr shift at human performance levels. This is fully autonomous running Helix-02 https://t.co/IdZR0T1F5I
Today, Quantum Space announced we are expanding to Tulsa, Oklahoma. The new facility will focus on large propulsion tank manufacturing and precision spacecraft parts production, growing our distributed U.S. manufacturing network.

4/ Today, Casimir announced a $12M oversubscribed seed round led by Scout Ventures, with participation from Lavrock Ventures, Cottonwood Technology, Capital Factory, American Deep Tech, and Tim Draper of Draper Associates.
The funding supports the substantial engineering and manufacturing work still ahead.

Commonwealth Fusion Systems has applied to connect the US power grid to what may become the world’s first commercial fusion plant https://t.co/6hFPwd5mgh
Meta just signed a deal for 1 GW of solar power beamed from space. What sounded like science fiction 5 years ago is now a corporate power purchase agreement.
We've been backing this future for years and want to congratulate the @OverviewEnergy team for this incredible progress. The grid is about to get a lot more interesting. https://t.co/KmphYprWMV
Quantum Space has been selected by @DARPA for the LASSO program to autonomously navigate lunar orbit and map water ice on the Moon.
One mission. Multiple capability validations on the Ranger platform.

Physical AI is moving from vision to factory floor.
@Siemens and Humanoid announced a major milestone. HMND 01 wheeled Alpha humanoid robot built on the @NVIDIARobotics physical AI stack, was successfully tested at Siemens’ electronics factory in Erlangen, Germany, performing autonomous logistics tasks.
A big step toward fully AI-driven, adaptive manufacturing.

CFS CEO and Co-founder @BobMumgaard recently spoke with @PeterDiamandis at the 2026 @Abundance360 Summit about CFS' progress toward fusion energy and how major breakthroughs happen. Says Bob: "Think about flight. Flight felt impossible — and then it was almost immediately inevitable after the Wright brothers."
Breakthroughs like commercial fusion energy don't happen overnight. They can only be achieved by understanding what needs to be done — breaking down a massive problem into distinct parts and attacking each one individually. And that's exactly what's happening in fusion energy right now.

Hardware costs for humanoid robots fell 40% in a single year. In the physical AI race, the moat isn't who builds the best robot—it’s who puts it to work first. Real-world operating history and actuarial data will crown the winners. 🤖🏭 Read our latest white paper: https://t.co/YcB3ALjLd6
Great to be part of #NVIDIAGTC this year.
As Jensen said, AI is moving into the physical world and at our booth, visitors experienced it firsthand.
Thanks @NVIDIARobotics for helping make this possible!
Lyten is excited to be part of the new U.S. National AI Center eco-system!
The AI Center, launched last week by @CommerceGov, will be located in San Francisco to support the growth of US AI technologies globally. The center will serve as a hub for collaboration across government, industry, and research as the country works to strengthen its position in AI development and competitiveness.
Secretary of Commerce Howard W. Lutnick and Lyten Chairman Lars Herlitz at the opening.
