EasyJet agrees to 5.7bn takeover by US firm

BBC News

EasyJet agrees to £5.7bn takeover by US firm No-frills airline EasyJet has agreed to be taken over in a £5.7bn deal by US firm Apollo after a rival bidder dropped out. The takeover was agreed after US investment firm Castlelake, which had made a series of offers for the carrier, said it was withdrawing from the bid battle. Apollo said it wants to help the airline grow and that it does not intend to cut any jobs in the first 12 months after the takeover has been completed, implying that passengers can expect largely the same service. EasyJet is one of Europe's largest airlines. It employs more than 19,000 people, and flies around 1,200 routes across 35 European countries.


Your top PC fan might be making your CPU run hotter

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. This simple fan adjustment could be the solution at no cost. Many PC systems struggle with unnecessarily high CPU temperatures, even though they've got plenty of fans installed. A particularly common approach is to configure all top-mounted fans as exhaust. While this may sound logical, in traditional PC cases with air coolers it can have the opposite effect.

A new study shows the effectiveness of AI-generated patches. Only 26% of the patches generated were actually usable. AI isn't ready to patch the planet, but it can be used in cyberdefense. New research has revealed that artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) are not ready to take on the task of creating fixes and patching security vulnerabilities.

Pressure-free growing robots for soft medical robotics

Robohub

Researchers at the University of Leeds and collaborators from the University of California San Diego won the Best Paper Award at RoboSoft, the leading international conference focused on soft robotics research. Soft robotics is gaining attention in medical applications because compliant machines can interact more safely with delicate objects and complex anatomy. The award-winning paper describes a 1.8 mm soft growing robot that can be steered magnetically, sense its own shape in real time, and operate without internal pressure. These advances could help improve patient outcomes following minimally invasive procedures. We spoke with lead author Benjamin Calmé about the team's work.


Simulated zebrafish and a vision-equipped robotic fish reveal how the body shapes brain circuits

Robohub

When a fish holds its position against a current in a river, its brain must figure out how fast to swim and how to steer to offset the water flow. Most fish use vision to register the world sliding past, detect optic flow speed and direction, and their brains turn these signals into compensatory swimming. The retina captures signals of optic-flow direction, central pretectal neurons interpret direction, and spinal nerves drive muscle contractions. The catch is that one cannot easily change the living brain to test how these circuits work. Although advances in imaging now allow detailed recording, and even manipulation, of neurons alongside behavior, rewiring connections to ask what a particular link actually does remains almost impossible in the living, complex animal.
