For years, humanoid robots have been more demo than deployment. That is why a quiet announcement on October 26, 2026 matters: GXO Logistics, the world's largest pure-play contract logistics provider, said it will expand its use of Agility Robotics' Digit humanoid to two more U.S. warehouses. A repeat order from a live customer is one of the clearest signals that a new technology is crossing from pilot to practice.
From one warehouse to three

Biogenic (algae-grown) limestone-based cement promises carbon-zero buildings.
Cement is an important construction ingredient around the world, and as a result, cement production is a significant source of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, making up approximately seven percent of annual greenhouse gas emissions.
Cities of the future may be built with algae-grown limestone
Global cement production accounts for 7% of annual greenhouse gas emissions in large part through the burning of quarried limestone. Now, a CU Boulder-led research team has figured out a way t...

‘Heat Battery’ A heat battery based on salt and water – Eindhoven University of Technology
The heat battery is based on an old thermochemical principle, which is that when water is added to salt it produces heat. The reverse is also possible, whereby heat can be used to evaporate the water, thus storing the heat energy inside the salt.
Storing heat within dry salt makes the battery completely loss-free, providing an incredibly efficient way to store energy for future use. This is particularly useful when energy supply is coming from renewable sources, such as wind and solar, which...
