Satellites and AI now detect over five million tonnes of methane a year from oil and gas. GHGSat runs a commercial constellation, Kayrros was folded into Energy Aspects, and the IEA uses satellite data. The business is owning the workflow between orbit alert and repair.
Contraline raised a $92.5M Series B to fund NES/T, a once-daily hormonal gel, through Phase 3 and advance ADAM, a non-hormonal implant, toward the first reversible male contraceptive product. It weighs a funded pipeline against the acceptance gap that sank earlier programs.
Quantum Systems closed a $1.2B Series D at ~$8B while already turning a profit, co-led by Blackstone, Airbus, Noteus and Advent. A look at how one German drone-maker grew into open signatures of European multi-domain autonomy prime.
Xona Space raised a $170M Series C to scale Pulsar, a low-Earth-orbit PNT constellation marketed as a resilient GPS alternative. The piece breaks down the signal argument, the L-band pivot, the AFRL contract, and what a 2027 rollout means for navigation.
Nvidia's 33-page BESS self-qualification spec turns grid-interactive battery storage into a documented, testable layer of the AI factory power stack, backed by a Siemens reference design.
AI data centers are being rebuilt as grid assets. Emerald AI has raised $68M, NVIDIA signed on six power producers, and roughly 100 GW of existing capacity could be unlocked without one new transmission line.
A balanced GLP-1/glucagon agonist reduced heavy drinking days in alcohol use disorder. The readout is real, the trial is small, and the market that is still open makes the next phase the one that counts.
Amazon Leo asked for more time; the FCC said no and added a temporary spectral penalty instead. The 10,400-satellite gap between Starlink and Leo is now the entire trade for investors in private space assets.
