Form's iron-air cells discharge for 100 hours by rusting and reversing it on charge, and are built to bridge the multi-day wind and solar lulls that 4-to-6-hour lithium-ion systems cannot.
China didn't stop a single shipment to the US in August. It just slowed the licence approvals — and the export books show exactly how the dial turns.
Three AI coding models on 188 real concurrency bugs (race conditions, deadlocks) in a no-network container, graded by each project's own tests. Scores look close, until the hard half.
PTC is the CAD and product-design software behind much of the world's physical-product engineering, and Schneider is paying $22.6B to add it to a power-and-data platform for the AI buildout.
Oxford philosopher Toby Ord's math says parallel agents buy speed but pay a coordination tax where workers duplicate each other's work. A 10-agent AI swarm delivers roughly 3–5x useful output, not 10x, and the gap widens with scale.
The bill would also create an expert group to draft permanent national rules; Oslo schools and Equinor already restrict the devices.
180 US patents and 239 international filings covering sensors, optics, and tracking for virtual- and augmented-reality headsets moved from Sony to Meta. 43 transfers are done; the rest are still in motion.
A two-year Tennessee trial of Khanmigo, Khan Academy's AI tutor, found math gains on the order of 1.3 national percentile ranks per term, but only for the students who actually used it.
10,000 OpenAI agents finished a famous math problem in days. A scaling law is the idea that more compute reliably buys more capability; this one trades model size for agent count, and new failure modes.
Both are still computational predictions for low-power magnetic memory chips, the class behind MRAM and hard-drive read heads: one was designed from the laws of physics, not empirical tuning, the other is a 1999 material being re-checked
Iranian-designed one-way attack drones with jet engines now slip past 50–60% of Ukraine's interceptors, hitting the data centers that carry home internet, mobile service, and bank traffic.
Two days after OpenAI claimed a famous math proof, 150 Berkeley mathematicians stayed two hours past the bell asking who counts as one of them now.
