Russia strikes Kyiv as three-day pause during US envoy visits ends
Is the war entering a new phase? Russia has struck Kyiv after a three-day pause in attacks on the Ukrainian and Russian capitals expired, following a visit by two US envoys that yielded no tangible progress towards peace. Two residential buildings were damaged by Russian air raids early on Tuesday, city officials in Kyiv said. Drones hit buildings in the capital city as well as in the Boryspil and Fastiv districts on the outskirts of Kyiv, according to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. An air raid alert, published by the Kyiv city military administration, urged residents to take shelter due to the threat of an "enemy" drone attack.
From dance floor to war: China readies humanoid robots for combat
A humanoid robot takes part in a wushu contest during the second World Humanoid Robot Games at the National Speed Skating Oval in Beijing on Aug. 26. BEIJING - At the World Humanoid Robot Games in China last month, robots jumped, boxed and danced. Some fleet-footed bots ran faster than Usain Bolt over 100 meters. Spectators cheered the machines' improving capabilities and their meme-worthy stumbles. Two days after the Games ended, the People's Liberation Army's official newspaper drew its own conclusions from the show.
China is building an AI future far from its biggest cities
An empty lot is stacked with aluminum brackets, steel rods and wooden planks in Ulanqab, China. Set in rolling grassland, Ulanqab is an unlikely technological hub. Yet this modest city of less than 2 million people in Inner Mongolia has found itself on the front line of China's efforts to relocate computing power away from its crowded eastern megacities and out to its western regions, where both space and inexpensive green energy are abundant. At one cluttered intersection on the eastern edge of the city on a Friday at lunchtime, workers streamed out of a cluster of data-center construction sites -- a reminder of the scale of the endeavor here, some 350 kilometers northwest of Beijing. Still wearing hard hats and high-visibility vests, their pants and boots caked in dust, they congregated at a cluster of trucks selling cheap meals, beer and cigarettes.

Joel Klatt on Big Ten vs. SEC, Arch Manning's Heisman hopes | FULL INTERVIEW | The Herd After three straight national championship wins, few would argue that the Big Ten has become the top conference in college football . Three years, three different teams, including a 16-0 season from the Indiana Hoosiers that coaches like Texas' Steve Sarkisian believed were essentially impossible in the modern era. Entering the 2026 season, most believed that the Big Ten would once again be the cream of the college football crop, thanks to Ohio State and Oregon topping the country in most human, and computer, ranking systems.
