In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we delve into the latest technological advancements that are revolutionizing the dental industry, the emergence of a new company specializing in automated construction equipment, the discovery of potential virus-fighting compounds, and more.

Earlier this week, I found myself at the dentist’s office for a procedure I had been dreading – a partial crown. However, thanks to cutting-edge technology, the experience was far less uncomfortable than I anticipated. Instead of enduring the traditional process involving messy silicone impressions, my dentist used a camera to create a 3D scan of my tooth. This scan was then used to design a partial crown, which was fabricated by a state-of-the-art milling machine from Dentsply Sirona. In just under 8 minutes, the machine transformed a block of ceramic material into my custom partial crown, which was promptly cemented onto my tooth. The entire procedure, which would have taken weeks in the past, was completed in less than an hour, showcasing the remarkable advancements in dental technology.

In another exciting development, a team of engineers, including former members of the self-driving robotaxi company Waymo, has founded Bedrock Robotics. This San Francisco-based startup is focusing on automating construction equipment, starting with excavators. By outfitting existing machinery with cameras, lidar, computers, and AI software, Bedrock aims to enhance the efficiency and productivity of construction sites. With plans to commence commercial operations in 2026, Bedrock has secured $80 million in funding and is conducting autonomous excavator testing in various locations. The potential for automation in the construction industry holds promise for streamlining operations and improving safety.

In the realm of medical advancements, researchers have identified a new class of broad-spectrum antivirals that show promise in combating a range of viruses. By screening hundreds of thousands of compounds, scientists have identified potential virus-fighters that have demonstrated effectiveness against infections such as RSV, herpes, and Zika. Published in the journal Cell, this discovery opens up possibilities for developing versatile antiviral treatments that could combat multiple viral infections, akin to how antibiotics target various bacterial strains.

On the space exploration front, Congress is pushing back against proposed budget cuts to NASA, with legislation aimed at maintaining the agency’s funding levels. While the White House had initially proposed significant budget reductions, both House and Senate subcommittees are advocating for continued support for NASA’s programs, albeit with some adjustments in budget allocations.

In other notable scientific and technological advancements, researchers have achieved a new world record for wirelessly transmitting power using a laser beam, astronomers have observed planets forming in a distant solar system, and Varda Space Industries has secured a substantial venture investment for its space-based pharmaceutical manufacturing endeavors.

Additionally, a recent study suggests that engaging in musical activities could help preserve cognitive function in older individuals, highlighting the potential benefits of learning an instrument as a means of promoting brain health.

As for entertainment recommendations, the film “Superman” directed by James Gunn has garnered praise for its engaging storyline and standout performances, offering a refreshing take on the superhero genre.
