• A pre-print on Research Square describes 14-bit linear, symmetric, self-selecting molecular memristors that could serve as ultra-dense, low-power memory or neuromorphic elements.

• NVlabs released “SANA,” an open-source diffusion transformer that synthesizes high-resolution images in ~2 s on a single GPU; the key advance is a better auto-encoder that also improves downstream vision tasks, not just generation.

• A Nature Medicine paper from EPFL reports restoration of over-ground walking in people with chronic spinal cord injury via deep-brain stimulation of a newly identified mesencephalic locomotor region, accompanied by impressive video evidence.

• Discussion of U.S. health-data standards noted that HL7/FHIR are technically open, yet HIPAA and required data-use agreements create a regulatory “moat” that raises costs and slows innovation.
