Scientists publish full brain map for male fruit fly
Scientists have published the first complete map of all 166,000-plus nervous system cells in an adult male fruit fly, detailing every connection in the brain and nerve cord. The decade-long project was a collaboration between Google Research, HHMI Janelia, and other researchers, and follows the earlier complete map of a female fruit fly brain. AI powered much of the analysis, stitching together data from millions of images.
SpaceX sets Starship orbital launch for September 22
SpaceX aims to launch Starship into orbit for the first time on September 22, pending regulatory approval.

Nvidia updates CUDA-Q for fault-tolerant quantum computing
Nvidia just updated its open-source CUDA-Q platform to add something called CUDA-Q Logical, which lets researchers build and test next-generation quantum applications faster and with fewer errors. Nvidia says Fermilab cut development time from five months to three weeks using this tool, and companies like Iceberg Quantum used it to rethink architectures and drastically reduce the number of components needed. Several labs are already using it.
