Einride Valuation Tops $1 Billion as Truck Startup Raises Funds
Einride AB raised about $100 million in funds in a round that values the Swedish driverless truck startup at more than $1 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity discussing private information.

A transmission hologram for slitless spectrophotometry on a convergent telescope beam. Optimisation and characterization
This article details the optimisation and the characterisation of the hologram described in a companion paper published in 2021, which showed the superiority of a holographic optical element over a periodic grating as a disperser installed in the path of a converging beam on an on-axis detector (unbent spectrograph) for slitless spectroscopy. In this article, we describe in detail the development and optimisation of the final optical holographic element installed on the spectrograph of the auxi…

Bird-like robot with novel wing system achieves self-takeoff and low-speed flight
In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight. While this bio-inspired robot performed well at a cruising speed, it was not capable of flying at lower speeds or achieving takeoff without assistance.
