MediaTek has announced the Dimensity 9600 Pro and Dimensity 9600M, SoCs built on TSMC's 2nm process. With an All Big Core design and Dual-NPU configuration, the chips lay the groundwork for next-generation agentic AI.
Apple has officially released watchOS 27, introducing on-wrist Siri AI conversations, a fully autonomous Workout Buddy, and a new readiness score powered by Series 12-exclusive sensors, marking a major leap in wearable autonomy.
A BYD vice president says the first model with solid-state battery technology will arrive in 2027. BMW's road tests and Toyota and Idemitsu's materials plans show the technical and manufacturing challenges between a demonstration and a retail launch.
The roughly £1 billion contract that Alstom and UK operator TPE have formally signed for 29 battery-electric trains sets the stage for mainline electrification combining overhead wires and batteries. This article examines the disclosed contract framework, the undisclosed battery specifications, and the challenges facing the planned 2034 service launch.
According to the research team's theoretical model, an optimally curved amorphous silicon solar cell, evaluated based on device footprint, reached a maximum efficiency of 59.7% at a depth of 2 meters. Using calculations based on the optical properties of South Pacific water, the optimized curved solar cell's daily cumulative power output was 9.4-15.9% higher than that of a flat-panel design. However, practical implementation hinges on factors such as rapid light attenuation depending on water quality and depth, as well as resistance to corrosion, high water pressure, and biofouling.
An analysis of over 500 million rows of real-world EV operating data reveals that variation in cell degradation shortens battery life and leaves up to 27% of potential energy unused when packs are retired.
Sandia National Laboratories has developed an electro-thermo-chemical memory using vanadium oxide, demonstrating both synaptic memory and neuron-like behavior in a single device. This article examines the physics behind the lab validation and the challenges remaining before practical use.
Apple has unveiled the AirPods 5, its open-ear wireless earbuds. By making ANC standard even on the entry-level model, Apple lowers the barrier to entry, while the higher-end version adds swipe-based volume control and longer battery life, improving everyday usability and integration with AI features.
An analysis of 500,000 diagnostic readings from used EVs in Europe found that the median battery capacity after 150,000 km of driving remained at roughly 90%. Yet even within the same model, individual differences reached up to 13.5 percentage points. This piece examines what the non-peer-reviewed commercial diagnostic data reveals—and its limits—for used EV buyers.
CATL's sodium-ion battery, set to begin grid-storage deliveries in September 2026, trails LFP in energy density yet is winning adoption. Drawing on a research history dating back to 1976 and comparisons with CATL's own LFP products, this piece breaks down the reasons—and the one-year gap before European deployment.
