• Microsoft has announced a significant breakthrough in quantum computing with its new Majorana 1 chip. The chip utilizes a novel "topological" state of matter, which is neither solid, liquid, nor gas. This innovation is based on a custom-built topological superconductor that can observe and control Majorana particles to produce topological quantum bits (qubits). Microsoft claims this technology will enable the construction of fault-tolerant quantum computers within years rather than decades.

• Google has introduced an AI co-scientist built on its Gemini 2.0 platform, designed to accelerate scientific research by generating novel hypotheses, drafting research proposals, and refining experiments. This collaborative tool aims to help scientists manage information overload and integrate insights from diverse fields, ultimately speeding up the discovery process.

• Spotify has partnered with ElevenLabs to expand its library of AI-narrated audiobooks. This collaboration allows authors to use ElevenLabs' AI voice technology to create audiobooks in 29 different languages. Audiobooks narrated by AI will be clearly labeled on Spotify, and the platform aims to make it easier for independent authors to reach new audiences.

• NVIDIA has launched an AI-powered platform called Signs to help people learn American Sign Language (ASL). Developed in collaboration with the American Society for Deaf Children and creative agency Hello Monday, Signs offers an interactive web platform with a 3D avatar demonstrating ASL signs and an AI tool providing real-time feedback on users' signing.

• Microsoft has introduced Muse, its first generative AI model designed for gameplay ideation, in collaboration with Xbox Game Studios' Ninja Theory. Named the World and Human Action Model (WHAM), Muse can generate game visuals and controller actions, aiding game developers in creating and expanding their work. The model has been trained on data from Ninja Theory's game "Bleeding Edge" and is open-sourced to allow other researchers and developers to explore its capabilities.
