l 2025 and employs over 7,500 people across 65 manufacturing sites and 85 offices worldwide.It sits in the specialty industrial machinery segment of the broader industrial automation industry, an arena dominated by large incumbents like Siemens, ABB, and Rockwell Automation. ATS competes by staying focused on specific end markets, offering end-to-end turnkey solutions, and leaning into high-growth verticals like life sciences (e.g., GLP-1 autoinjector assembly) and clean energy (e.g., nuclear refurbishment).That smaller scale (vs. the giants) can limit pricing power. But ATS’s flexible engineering model and targeted acquisitions (e.g., Paxiom, Heidolph, and IT.ACA) have strengthened its position in niche, high-complexity…

After just one night’s sleep in a laboratory, during which physiological signals are recorded, a new artificial intelligence model can estimate a person’s risk for around 130 diseases later in life. That includes risks for Parkinson’s disease, dementia, heart disease and prostate and breast cancer. The model is called SleepFM and it can make these predictions years before the first symptoms become evident, says Stanford University professor of biomedical data science, James Zou, a co-senior author of the the SleepFM study, published in early January in the journal, Nature Medicine. SleepFM was fed nearly 600,000 hours of sleep data collected from…

For the second year in a row, Roborock was the talk of CES in Las Vegas. At the 2025 show, the Saros Z70 wowed with the world’s first robot vacuum with a mechanical arm to clear obstacles from its path. This year, crowds flocked to the Roborock booth to see the new Saros Rover, the world’s first robot vacuum with wheel-legs, which the Rover uses to conquer the most unique indoor terrain, from climbing stairs to rolling down slopes.These impressive robotic feats with arms and legs make Roborock’s vacuums crowd-pleasers at CES: they’re cool to watch and unlike anything else…

Nvidia isn’t the only AI name that can help investors reach financial independence over the long term.Nvidia (NVDA 0.05%) has been a significant winner so far from the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. That makes sense, as it’s the supplier of the most sought-after high-performance chips needed to train and power AI models. However, in 2025, shares of numerous other tech companies soared as investors flocked to just about anything related to AI. Investors who want to gain exposure to the trend at this point should look for companies with staying power, though, as in general, life-changing returns come from long-term…

What Role Do Non-Human Identities Play in Enhancing Cybersecurity? One might wonder how machine identities fit into the puzzle. Non-Human Identities (NHIs), often underestimated, are pivotal in creating robust security frameworks, particularly for industries like financial services, healthcare, travel, and technology sectors. Their management is not just about protecting data; it’s about ensuring seamless operations across cloud environments. Understanding NHIs and Their Importance NHIs, or machine identities, are akin to a digital passport—essential for automated systems to communicate securely. They consist of “Secrets,” which are encrypted credentials like passwords or tokens that authenticate these identities. Just as a passport and…

After gaining traction across big tech, “vibe coding” is quickly spilling into crypto, and it could fundamentally alter how Web3 projects are built, funded, and scaled.Coined by former OpenAI co-founder and ex-Tesla AI lead Andrej Karpathy in early 2025, vibe coding describes building software by “feel.” It utilizes natural language or voice prompts with AI systems, while barely requiring the use of the keyboard.Sponsored SponsoredHow ‘Vibe Coding’ Could Reshape Web3, Startups, and Venture CapitalThe idea went mainstream after Collins Dictionary named “vibe coding” its Word of the Year for 2025, signaling how fast the concept has entered the tech space.At…

Maskot | Maskot | Getty ImagesIf there is still no clear answer to the question of how artificial intelligence is influencing gains and losses in the job market, there is at least one AI question that job candidates, and current workers hoping to keep their roles, should be prepared to answer clearly in 2026.”In many roles, the baseline will no longer be ‘Can a person do the job?’ but rather ‘Can they do it in a way that adds unique value beyond what AI can do alone, and what people can do alone?'” said Daniela Rus, director of the MIT…
