Halide perovskites physically distort under light — real physics, no working devices. The 0.3% lattice change is the crux: interesting science or actuator-relevant? The paper doesnt answer that.

We ceded that ground decades ago — but Japan isn't giving up on chips. It's pivoting to the unglamorous work that keeps everything running.

A rubber vulcanization chemical helped perovskite-silicon tandem cells retain 91 percent efficiency after 1,700 hours of continuous operation — on industrial-grade TOPCon wafers, not bespoke lab cells. Whether it survives a summer on a rooftop in Arizona remains an open question.

The FCC manages radio spectrum. It has no mandate to protect the night sky — and that structural gap is why the most coordinated scientific objections in history will likely accomplish nothing.

One rocket flew once. Its company claims it already matches Falcon 9 cost — without reuse. China’s real launch target isn’t a number. It’s a military communications grid with 28,000 satellites behind it.

Electron microscopes slice samples thin enough to destroy the defect. Neutrons dont need to. MIT and Oak Ridge built an AI that reads vibrational spectra from neutron scattering to identify six defect types simultaneously, at 0.2% concentration, without touching the sample.

The quasar in galaxy J0218-0036 ran out of gas on a 20-year human timescale. Standard models say this should take millennia. Dust does not explain it. The host galaxy now outshines what was once its luminous core.

The silicon underneath AI agents was not built for them — and that gap is about to force a rethinking of AI chip architecture.

He runs 80pct of his CEO workflows through AI agents. The kitchen that runs those agents looks nothing like a data center — and that changes everything about the silicon being built.

Artemis II flies April 1 with four astronauts and zero landing plans. The nine regions NASA picked for the actual Moon return are the engineering answer to exactly the kind of terrain that just broke a $100M lander.

Mariana Minerals is building Texas first commercial facility to pull lithium from oilfield wastewater. The policy window just opened. The company has the capital, the target, and the right founder to matter.
