A UCLA research team has achieved the first direct observation of phonon focusing—heat flowing in beam-like patterns—in boron arsenide crystals at room temperature (300 K). This article explains the physics behind this breakthrough in wave-like heat transport, previously confined to extreme cold, and the challenges that remain.
Amazon has signed a definitive agreement to acquire DuckLabs. Here's how DuckDB's intellectual property remains with a foundation, how the technical direction may shift as core developers join AWS, and what it means for the project's neutrality going forward.

The Q3 guidance of $108 billion—which would top the $96.2 billion actual result—still assumes zero data center revenue from China.
NVIDIA has announced NVHBM, which moves HBM control circuitry to the base die. The company claims gains in bandwidth, power, and compute area, but absolute specifications, mass-production timing, and adopting products remain undisclosed.
The anonymous model Ox Alpha turns out to be Z.ai's GLM-5.3-Flash. Here's how its inference was designed to run on tens of thousands of Chinese-made AI chips, and why the claimed 100 trillion tokens-per-day capacity figure needs context.
Fujitsu's 144-core MONAKA 3D-stacks N2P compute cores with N5 SRAM and I/O. Ahead of 2027 shipment, estimated performance and stacking still need real-world verification.
TrendForce forecasts that DRAM and NAND will account for 68% of major cloud providers' capital expenditure in 2027. We examine the assumptions behind this estimate, the role of long-term contracts, and the impact of reduced memory configurations.
Apple has announced a special event for September 9 at 10am Pacific Time (2am September 10 in Japan). The product name hasn't been revealed, but reports suggest a shift in release schedules pushing Pro models and a foldable device to fall, drawing attention to what the new CEO will unveil.
