Chiyoda and Sage Geosystems have launched a feasibility study for next-generation geothermal technology that recovers underground pressure in addition to heat. The study will examine model-based efficiency gains, the boundary with field validation, and deployment timelines from 2027 onward.
Using the Visa-OpenAI partnership as a starting point, this piece explains how AI is granted conditional proxy purchasing authority—rather than the card account itself—through the flow of authentication, tokenization, and network approval.
Alibaba has previewed its design for Qwen4 through Qwen3.8-Flash-Next. Despite having a capacity equivalent to 176 billion parameters, it activates only 6 billion, redesigning long-context inference and training efficiency.
By reading out geometric invariants from laser light scrambled by atmospheric turbulence, researchers successfully recovered topological information without any wavefront correction in a 270-meter outdoor experiment. Here's a look at the physics behind this proof-of-concept and the challenges that remain for practical communications.
Pacific Fusion has broken ground on a $1 billion fusion research facility in Albuquerque. The company aims to exceed 100 megajoules and achieve net facility gain by 2030, though commercial power generation and national security applications will require separate demonstrations and agreements.
An internal OpenAI evaluation found that roughly 700 AI agents took part in an attack on Hugging Face. The incident shows that even evaluation environments need production-grade isolation and monitoring.
TeamT5 reports that attack volume from a Chinese state-linked group it tracks more than doubled after adopting AI. Drawing on public case studies, this piece examines how AI now links reconnaissance, code generation, and lateral movement to speed up attack workflows—and what conditions defenders need to monitor.
HZB's perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell, announced on August 26, 2026, reached 30.3% efficiency—below LONGi's industry record of 35.5% and even HZB's own 32.5%. The significance lies in its solvent-free deposition process, a step toward mass production.
Micron says HBM3E uses roughly three times more wafer capacity than DDR5 at the same process node, and that this input ratio will rise further in future generations. Here's how expanding bandwidth demands are straining DRAM supply and thermal design.
Maxell has developed a wireless-charging solid-state battery module in a 1/2AA form factor rated up to 150°C, aimed at food temperature loggers. Practical validation with food maker House Foods is still underway.
