SCIENCE AND TECH
Fedor Kriuk’s The Hook Lab has announced the development of Elarah AI, the most sophisticated machine for analyzing social, political, and economic dynamics. Investors across the United States and Asia are already lining up to participate in early funding rounds.
Elarah is engineered to map the global social mind—a powerful intelligence system that transforms fragmented data into actionable foresight. By fusing signals from social media sentiment, financial indicators, news cycles, and cultural trends, it builds a dynamic model of collective human behavior. Its agentic AI framework connects patterns across industries and regions, revealing how shifts in public mood can trigger market movements, political changes, or social disruptions.
Why It Matters
In a world overflowing with data but lacking true understanding, Elarah addresses a critical gap. Major crises—economic shocks, political conflicts, and cultural upheavals—often begin as subtle shifts in sentiment that traditional analysis fails to capture. Elarah detects these early signals, offering leaders, investors, and analysts the ability to anticipate and respond before they escalate.
With global uncertainty at historic highs, demand for predictive intelligence is accelerating. Analysts estimate the sentiment analysis market could reach $10 billion by 2030, positioning Elarah AI as a key player in this rapidly expanding space.
“Elarah bridges the gap between raw data and real-world foresight,” said Fedor Kriuk, founder of The Hook Lab. “It helps users see beyond the surface of global events—to understand not just what is happening, but why it’s happening and where it’s headed.”
Kriuk added, “Elarah’s AI will redefine global intelligence. We envision it…

Innovative modular system developed with Liebherr enhances safety for civilian and utility vehicles in high-risk zones
Hintsteiner Defence, a leading European innovator in lightweight composite structures for the defence industry, has announced the launch of Hi2Protect, a groundbreaking modular protection system designed to safeguard civilian work and utility vehicles operating in high-risk environments.
Developed in cooperation with Liebherr, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of construction machinery, the Hi2Protect system marks a major milestone in the evolution of mobile protection. It enables rapid retrofitting of construction and logistics vehicles — such as cranes, loaders, and transport units — providing ballistic protection without compromising mobility or performance.
A New Era of Civilian Protection
In today’s volatile global landscape, vehicles used in reconstruction zones such as Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, as well as in crisis and disaster regions, face unprecedented risks — from gas explosions and shrapnel to small arms fire. Until now, no market-ready, flexible protection solution has existed for these types of machines.
“Hi2Protect was born out of a critical need,” said a spokesperson for Hintsteiner Defence. “While many vehicles have protected cabins for their crews, their essential components — including hydraulics, electronics, and power units — remain highly vulnerable….
Sze Hou Loh’s story underscores a quiet transformation in how hardware is made. The best engineers today aren’t just optimizing parts — they’re shaping experiences
When engineers talk about career trajectories, they often describe them as ladders. For Sze Hou Loh, the better metaphor might be a circuit — looping through disciplines, reconnecting ideas, and charging forward with each new challenge.
Loh, now a Product Design Engineer at Google, didn’t set out to work on the Pixel Watch line or to help design the kinds of compact, high-precision mechanical systems that end up on millions of wrists. His career began in a very different world — inside the testing labs of Tesla, where he validated the company’s 4680 battery cells. Those early experiments with lithium, cathodes, and failure points taught him not just how to test performance, but how to think in systems.
“Tesla was an introduction to how messy innovation can be,” Loh says. “You’re constantly working with partial information, chasing better efficiency, and learning from what breaks.”
That appetite for building things that work — and for understanding why they work — became a through-line in his career. After earning his degree in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech, Loh moved to Enphase Energy, a solar and energy-storage company developing the Powerpack…

ASMED Medical Center’s KE-BOT, developed by Dr. Koray Erdoğan, uses artificial intelligence to deliver objective, high-resolution scalp analysis—now validated by a United States patent
By Tina Geiger / Staff WriterASMED Medical Center announced that its proprietary AI-powered robotic diagnostic system, KE-BOT, developed by Dr. Koray Erdoğan, has been granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This recognition highlights the role of advanced imaging and artificial intelligence in enhancing diagnostic precision within aesthetic and procedural planning.
AI has been improving diagnoses for some time, but recently the field has seen an explosion in growth. Developed over a nine-year R&D period in collaboration with Kocaeli University and TÜBİTAK, KE-BOT performs 360-degree scalp mapping, capturing high-resolution data on hair shaft thickness, follicular density, and distribution. The system produces consistent, reproducible metrics that inform procedural planning, with no dependence on manual measurement or subjective judgment.
“We built KE-BOT to bring standardization, objectivity, and data transparency into a field that has long relied on visual estimations,” said Dr. Koray Erdoğan, founder and medical director of ASMED. “The U.S. patent is a milestone for us, and for the application of artificial intelligence in clinical diagnostics.”
KE-BOT’s AI engine processes detailed visual input and translates it into quantifiable values for clinicians. The robot assists in pre- and post-procedural analysis and is supported by KE-BOT Mobile, a digital application linked to ASMED’s central data servers. This allows clinicians and patients to visualize mapped data and procedural metrics in real time.
AI drives both diagnostic speed and precision in personalized medicine
The use of artificial intelligence in procedural diagnostics reflects a broader shift toward personalized medicine—where decisions are guided by…

The NCES reports that by 2021–22, 96% of public schools provided digital devices to students who needed them and 70% offered some form of internet access outside school.
U.S. school districts are wrestling with building systems that can’t keep pace with present-day health, safety and instructional demands. A Government Accountability Office survey found that about 41% of districts need to replace or update heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in at least half of their schools: roughly 36,000 buildings where temperature control and air quality directly affect learning.
At the same time, the CDC has documented uneven progress on ventilation strategies since the pandemic: by 2022, 33.9% of districts reported HVAC upgrades; 28% deployed HEPA-filtered air cleaners; and 8.2% implemented ultraviolet germicidal irradiation.
Ventilation and heat are converging as a facilities challenge. The Center for Climate Integrity estimates that 13,700 additional public schools will need to add air conditioning this decade as heat days rise, at a capital cost on the order of $40 billion of America’s $3.7 trillion infrastructure funding gap.
Ventilation, Attendance and Health
Multiple studies tie ventilation to attendance and student outcomes, independent of income and demographics. A peer-reviewed analysis in the American Journal of Public Health found that higher indoor CO2—often a proxy for insufficient ventilation—correlated with…
