Chips, compute infrastructure, manufacturing, and physical systems.

Germany just cleared Rocket Lab for its $150M Mynaric takeover — but the real story is why a launch company spent fourteen months buying into optical terminal supply nobody else can replicate at scale.











If TeraFab works, it reshapes the AI compute supply chain entirely. If it doesn't, Tesla has burned billions on a moonshot that TSMC pulled off over decades.
Four astronauts will spend 10 days in a sealed capsule with the same air. If something goes wrong, there's no resupply, no rescue.
Two satellites entered orbit Saturday. The clock that matters most isn't ESA's — it's the one owned by a company racing to beat them.
The solar wind hits Earth's magnetic field at 1.6 million km/h. For the first time, scientists will film the impact in action — not simulate it.
A 100-kilowatt rack that fits in a small room needs 120 square meters of radiator to operate in orbit. The ISS, all 420 tonnes of it, produces less than 100 kilowatts average.
Four astronauts are supposed to orbit the Moon in March. Scientists with a validated prediction say wait until 2026. Who's right?
17 months. That's how fast Starcloud went from Y Combinator demo day to $1.1 billion valuation — the fastest ever.
The astronauts trained for a moon flyby. They didn't expect to become science experiments — and carry the results home in their own veins.
Europe learned the hard way: you can subsidize a factory, but you can't subsidize a customer.
The space industry just discovered it's competing with ChatGPT for electrical gear. And right now, the chatbots are winning.
Physicists spent years trying to isolate quantum effects by making devices impossibly perfect. Then someone just turned a knob instead.
