Chinese researchers have unveiled a breakthrough technique for mass-producing engineered natural killer (NK) cells for cancer therapy. The method uses cord blood stem cells and could reduce viral vector needs by a factor of 600,000. This could make powerful CAR-NK therapies far more scalable and aff
LG is previewing its 2026 laptop lineup ahead of CES, headlined by a new lightweight Aerominum chassis and on-device AI. The star is the Gram Pro 17, touted as the world’s lightest 17-inch laptop with an RTX 5050 GPU.
China has completed the world’s most powerful hypergravity machine, a massive centrifuge that can simulate 100 times Earth’s gravity. The facility, built for Zhejiang University, aims to test infrastructure like dams and study nuclear safety.
The power sector is at a critical point. AI is now essential for grid management, but the data centers powering it are demanding gigawatts overnight. Meanwhile, solar’s explosive growth will require land equivalent to the state of West Virginia.
In power generation, unplanned downtime is a nightmare. A technique called filter debris analysis (FDA) is giving engineers a powerful new tool to see inside critical machinery. By examining the particles trapped in a filter, they can spot wear and contamination that routine oil analysis completely
The AI boom is creating a gold rush for TSMC’s most advanced manufacturing. New reports indicate its 2nm process is already fully booked for 2026 and is projected to generate more cumulative revenue than its current 3nm and 5nm nodes by the third quarter of that year. This is despite the company imp
A new study pinpoints a specific type of carbon-rich asteroid as the prime target for future mining missions. The research highlights the immense technical and economic hurdles that remain. Here’s a look at the reality behind the sci-fi dream.
South Korea’s exports surged 13.4% in December, far exceeding expectations, and set an annual record of over $709 billion for 2025. The explosive growth was fueled by semiconductor shipments, which jumped 43% in December alone to a new monthly high.
The U.S. government has issued TSMC an annual export license for its semiconductor facility in Nanjing, China. This move guarantees the chip plant can continue operations without interruption until at least the end of 2025.
Samsung is drastically ramping up its production capacity for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips. This major investment targets the core hardware need of the AI era, as demand from companies like NVIDIA continues to surge.
