Announcements, releases and milestones from across the platform.

Water Breakthrough Challenge 7 opens with up to £50 million from Ofwat's innovation fund. Of the £251 million awarded since 2020, around 65 percent has gone to organisations outside the water industry.

Berlin's city-wide heat plan includes a block-by-block shallow geothermal assessment covering some 26,000 blocks at borehole depths of 100 to 400 metres, with indicative heat costs of €0.26 to €0.35 per kWh.

Hyundai has taken full ownership of Boston Dynamics, buying SoftBank's remaining shares for about $325 million, and is targeting US robot production of 30,000 units a year from 2028 with 25,000 already ordered.

IDS has launched Nion, a 1.2-megapixel industrial time-of-flight camera running 30 fps over a 0.3 to 7.5 metre range in an IP67 housing with PoE, built for stray-light resistance and low motion blur.

Santos Port Authority is deploying private 5G across three zones under a three-year, $6 million agreement, carrying a vessel traffic management system, a digital twin and sensor feeds.

DFRobot's LattePanda Mu Ultra puts Intel's Lunar Lake Core Ultra 5 226V or 7 256V with 16 GB of LPDDR5 onto a 69.6 by 60 mm SO-DIMM module, at $599 and $699.

CamThink's NeoEyes NE302 puts an STM32N6 with a 1 GHz Neural-ART NPU behind a 4 MP sensor in a 42 mm fanless cube at $99, with schematics and firmware published on GitHub.

Mersen has launched a UL 67-listed Class J critical power panelboard rated to 400 A and 600 V AC with a 200 kA short-circuit rating, using current-limiting fuses that clear high faults in under a half-cycle.

ASRock Industrial's iEP-5010G-010 has become the first product certified under the Open Group's O-PAS Certification Program, against the standard's second edition and separately to IEC 62443-4-2.

CISA has updated its advisory on ST Engineering iDirect iQ-Series terminals, with a missing authorisation scoring 9.4 on CVSS v4 and unauthenticated retrieval of device information. Firmware 4.5.3.0 fixes them.

CISA has published hard-coded credentials in CareCam Pro IP cameras running 2020 firmware and U-Boot 2010.06. The vendor did not respond to coordination attempts, so there is no patch — only isolation.

EPA is awarding $11.75 million to ten midsize and large drinking water systems for SCADA improvements, PLC replacement, pump control modernisation, backup generators and smart water monitoring.
