Engineers at Monash University have developed a new form of graphene that dramatically improves supercapacitors. The material, called multiscale reduced graphene oxide (M-rGO), creates better pathways for ions, boosting energy storage and power density. This breakthrough could lead to electronics th
Battery tech firm Anaphite has secured €1.6 million in a Series A follow-on round. The funding will help it expand its dry coating platform to work with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathodes, a major but energy-intensive battery material.
The Trump administration just struck a deal with the UK, using trade policy as a lever. Britain agreed to raise the price ceiling its National Health Service will pay for novel drugs by 25%. It’s a direct move to make other countries shoulder more of the global drug development cost.
Rare earth elements are crucial for EVs, wind turbines, and defense tech, but the supply chain is dangerously concentrated. Recent Chinese export controls have jolted the world into action, sparking a race to build new, more resilient production networks. The shift is underway, but it’s a massive, e
The designer of the 1988 Spaceball mouse is trying to revive the niche 3D controller with a new Indiegogo campaign. The Astroid 7000 promises intuitive two-handed control for apps like Blender, but it needs a last-minute funding miracle.
Meta has reportedly delayed its next-gen mixed reality glasses, codenamed Phoenix, from late 2026 to early 2027. The move comes as CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushes for a more sustainable business model and higher quality.
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a stunningly well-formed spiral galaxy from when the universe was only about 1.8 billion years old. Named Alaknanda, this “Milky Way lookalike” challenges long-held theories about how quickly galaxies could organize themselves in the early cosmos.
Meta is pushing back the release of its high-end “Phoenix” mixed reality glasses by at least six months. The delay is part of a broader refocus on quality and sustainability within its Reality Labs division.
Netflix is trying to buy Warner Bros. for $72 billion, a move that would combine the top streaming service with HBO Max. Regulators and politicians are already lining up to block it, calling it a competition killer.
Gigabyte has launched a motherboard that swaps out RGB for a wood-grain aesthetic. The X870E Aero X3D Wood packs high-end specs like Wi-Fi 7 and support for DDR5 up to 9000MT/s. It’s clearly aimed at builders who want their PC to blend in with a room.
