Not to be caught napping, New York-based Eight Sleep, the developer of a sleep-tracking mattress cover, last week raised $6 million in a seed round—the follow up to a $1.2 million Indiegogo campaign that ended last March.
Eight, previously known as Luna, developed its mattress cover to gather data on sleeping patterns. It can also connect wirelessly with other devices such as lights and smart thermostats, adjusting them when the user turns in for the night.

El potente sector exterior chino sufrió un descalabro considerable en febrero. El valor de las exportaciones de la primera potencial comercial del planeta se desplomó un 20,6% en comparación con el mismo mes del año anterior, la mayor caída mensual desde mayo de 2009. La cifra está distorsionada por los festejos del Año Nuevo Lunar -que se celebró el mes pasado y supuso el cierre temporal de miles de fábricas por vacaciones-, pero muestra que la demanda de productos chinos en el resto del mundo no logra repuntar.
While global high net worth individual (HNWI) wealth is at an all-time record and is up over 70% since 2008, this wealth growth has coincided with decreased profitability for wealth management firms.
One of the biggest challenges for firms when addressing the revenue and profit dilemma is to effectively leverage digital technology and the latest in cloud platforms to transform their businesses. For example, our research shows that 46.5% of wealth managers globally are not satisfied with the digital tools provided to them by their firms.
The best-selling book Moneyball by Michael Lewis changed the way people thought about sport, particularly for those owners, managers, and players with the biggest vested interests. Lewis’s book helped bring about a revolution in which player performance was measured and assessed using an evidence-based approach rather than a tradition dominated by anecdote and intuition.
After several decades in the doldrums, AI is experiencing quite a renaissance. In recent years, amazing progress has been made using so-called deep learning, training algorithms with large amounts of data so that they can recognize subtle patterns. Such approaches have enabled computers to recognize faces in an image or the text of speech, often with eerily human accuracy.
There is little economic incentive to capture carbon dioxide from power-plant exhaust or suck it directly from the air, but researchers from George Washington University and Vanderbilt University have hit on a possible motivation: using the gas to make materials for high-performance batteries.
Not only is the new process more cost-effective than existing techniques for making carbon nanotubes at a large scale, they say, but it could be a weapon against climate change.
Solar power is a great source of renewable energy, but as with many things in life, timing is everything. The sun doesn’t shine on long winter nights when people turn on their lights. On the other hand, a sunny Sunday afternoon can produce an ample electricity surplus that’s difficult to store.
“That’s the grand challenge,” says Stephen Sanborn, senior engineer and principal investigator at GE Global Research (GRC). “We need to make renewable energy available to the grid when it is needed.”
