Samsung has moved the Fold7 lineage over to the Fold8 Ultra, redesigning the standard Fold8 into a smaller, separate line. In Japan, three models including the Flip8 will launch on August 7.
In 9,954 real-world vehicle inspections in Sweden, the average SoH of EV batteries was 92.4% at the 100,000 km mark. This piece unpacks why generalizing from the top models' 95%+ figures is misleading, and why individual inspection matters when choosing a used EV.
A research team from Fudan University and other institutions has developed a flowable slurry technology that disperses nanoparticles in liquid and circulates them, rather than fixing electrodes in place, to prevent the dendrite formation responsible for the short lifespans of aqueous zinc batteries. This innovative design simultaneously achieves extremely high charge-discharge efficiency and extended battery life.
A drone developed by Northwestern University exploits human visual characteristics by spinning the entire airframe at high speed, blurring its outline into near-invisibility. Through AI-driven optimization design, the team achieved roughly a tenfold reduction in visual detectability compared to conventional airframes, enabling highly covert flight.
A Swedish survey found that among Tesla Model 3 vehicles driven over 100,000 km, cars equipped with LFP batteries showed higher capacity retention than those with nickel-based batteries. However, this result does not fully control for variables such as usage environment and vehicle age, so individual battery inspection remains important when choosing a used car.
The first unit OpenAI is developing is reportedly a rechargeable, screenless AI speaker equipped with a camera and moving parts, aiming to be a companion-like presence that travels with users throughout the home. Built on new technology that combines advanced reasoning with conversation, it aims to deliver a next-generation experience that anticipates users' situations ahead of time.
A Korean research team has developed a technology that eliminates contact resistance at the junction with metal electrodes by forming continuous semimetallic and semiconducting regions within a single platinum diselenide thin film. Atomic-level observation proves the absence of electron traffic jams, contributing to lower power consumption in next-generation chips.
We examine the fast-charging degradation mechanism reported by Live Science against Geotab's data from 22,700 EVs and a test of 40 smartphones. EVs show a 12-point gap over an 8-year projection, while smartphones show just 0.5 points over 500 cycles—an order-of-magnitude difference in degradation scale that this article explains.
Apple has filed suit alleging that OpenAI systematically misappropriated its trade secrets through recruiting interviews and other means. Beyond claims of a former employee removing confidential materials, Apple alleges candidates were asked to bring parts from unreleased products and that manufacturing know-how entrusted to suppliers was diverted—sharpening the conflict over hardware development.
Samsung is reportedly developing a PC AI accelerator called "GAIA," advancing prototype verification with Lenovo and others toward mass production targeted for 2027. The chip will use a 4nm process, and cooperation with in-memory computing technology is also reportedly being considered, though power consumption and software support remain challenges for practical deployment.
