German police have launched an investigation into two teenagers accused of controlling a robot that allegedly groped a 16-year-old girl. Police in Cologne have confiscated the red and gold robot that allegedly grabbed the girl's buttocks and made thrusting motions against her before she screamed and moved away. North Rhine Westphalia Police said the robot's 16-year-old owner and his companion, 19, are believed to have streamed the incident live on social media and commented on it. According to a police statement on Facebook, the 120cm (3.9ft) tall device approached the girl from behind while she was with her friends close to midnight local time (23:00 BST) on Saturday. The girl was in front of a fast-food outlet near the city centre when the incident took place, police said.

Newly established commission identifies 17 catastrophic threats to human health but says'realistic route to act' on each exists Humans could become extinct by the year 2100 due to malicious use of AI or nuclear conflict, according to a new global risk assessment. They top a list of 17 major threats to human health over the next 75 years, which also includes cuts to aid spending by wealthy countries, the climate crisis and childhood malnutrition. The experts behind The Lancet Commission on 21st Century Global Threats to Health said all the threats interact, meaning they must be addressed together - but stressed that there was "a realistic route to act" on each. "Decisions made by leaders today will shape the health and wellbeing of the next generation," said Prof Christopher Murray, commission co-chair and the director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, University of Washington. To create its list, the commission modelled how many years in good health might be lost due to sickness, disability or early deaths due to each threat, based on current trajectories - a measure known as disability-adjusted life years (Dalys).

Tesla has changed the name of its Full Self-Driving feature in some of its European websites, including Germany, Spain and France, to "Assisted Driving." While the Full Self-Driving feature is already available in some parts of Europe, Tesla is working to get it approved in more countries. As Reuters reports, the rebranding came after Germany revealed that its Transport Minister Steffen Bilger is advocating for its swift approval. In the country's announcement, it explained that the term Full Self-Driving, particularly because it is still of the Supervised variety, is "somewhat misleading." The system doesn't actually drive the car, Germany's Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport said, and it only provides assistance for certain tasks, like accelerating and braking.

Optogenetics revolutionized neuroscience, but its origins come from an entirely brainless organism--an alga. Nobel Committee Secretary General Thomas Perlmann speaks to the media about this year's laureates--Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel--during the announcement of the winners of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The Karolinska Institute awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine to researchers Karl Deisseroth of Stanford University, Peter Hegemann of Humboldt University in Berlin, and Georg Nagel of the University of Würzburg. Their discoveries led to the development of optogenetics, a technique where scientists can turn individual nerve cells on or off using beams of light. According to Per Svenningsson, chair of the Nobel Committee for Medicine, "Optogenetics provides opportunities for mapping the brain in a way that we could once only dream of."
