Al’s on the mic as British Science Week kicks off today — ten days of pure “go on then, show me how it works” energy across London and the UK. Then the government backs a new fundamental AI research lab, aiming for proper long-term breakthroughs, not just flashy demos. After that, Cambridge researchers give robots a better sense of touch with graphene-based “artificial skin”… and scientists unveil a half-Möbius molecule that sounds like sci-fi but lands in Science anyway. We’re finishing with a London phone launch from Nothing — plus a quick gaming nod for your weekend queue.
