Humanoid robots don't need to look human. Meet Eno, our first general-purpose robot. Not a machine pretending to be human, but intelligence given a body. At Genesis, we’re building a future where robots don’t feel cold or distant, but capable, calm, and ready to help. Available Q4 this year.

🚨 A FRENCH STARTUP THINKS IT MAY HAVE FOUND A NEW PATH TO QUANTUM COMPUTING. Not with superconductors. Not with trapped ions. With carbon nanotubes. Researchers at C12 have unveiled a manufacturing breakthrough that could solve one of quantum computing's biggest problems: building large numbers of reliable qubits. Why this matters: • Quantum computers are extremely sensitive to noise • Tiny defects can destroy quantum information • Most platforms struggle to scale beyond small systems • Carbon nanotubes offer an ultra-clean environment for electron spins • Purified Carbon-12 removes almost all nuclear magnetic noise The breakthrough: Instead of growing carbon nanotubes directly on quantum chips... C12 grows thousands separately. They then electrically test every nanotube and select only the best performers. Using a patented "Pick & Place" process, robotic systems transfer elite nanotubes onto pre-built quantum chips with nanometer precision. The result: Higher consistency. Better qubit quality. Far faster manufacturing. Production that once took a year can now be completed in weeks. The deeper implication is enormous: Today's leading quantum computers often require temperatures near absolute zero. Carbon nanotube spin qubits may operate at significantly higher temperatures while maintaining long coherence times. That means future quantum systems could require less extreme cooling and potentially support far denser integration. C12's roadmap aims for: • 1,500 physical qubits by 2027 • 128+ logical qubits by 2032 • 100,000 physical qubits and ~800 logical qubits by 2033 If successful, this could become one of the most serious alternatives to superconducting quantum computers. The real question is: Will the future of quantum computing be built from exotic superconductors... or from perfectly arranged carbon atoms? Follow for more frontier science and technology discoveries.
