Apple is said to be developing a new generation of satellite connection technology for the high-end iPhone line According to multiple industry sources, Apple is currently developing a next-generation "C2" modem tailored for its premium 2026 iPhone lineup, which is highly antici

Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com plans to hold the world’s first humanoid robot auction during China’s annual 618 shopping festival in June. A crowd watches humanoid robots fight at the 2025 World Robot Conference in Beijing, China The company announced the plan Monday at the launch event for its 2026 618 campaign, saying the auction would be part of a broader lineup of promotional and technology-focused events throughout the shopping season. The 618 shopping festival, which u

While previous iterations of AI have largely functioned as conversational assistants, Google has engineered Gemini 3.5 to serve as a high-functioning collaborator. The most significant advancement in this version is its "agentic" nature, which allows the artificial intelligence to independently perform actions to solve real-world problems. Google has inaugurated this series with the 3.5 Flash model, precision-tuned to achieve a synergy of superior intelligence and rapid proce

China’s Jiuzhang 4.0 quantum computer solved a problem in microseconds that would take the world’s most powerful supercomputer developed by the U.S. longer than the age of the universe to solve. The Jiuzhang 4.0 quantum computer developed by scientists at the University of Science and Technology of China Scientists at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) said their Jiuzhang 4.0 quantum computer solved a Gaussian boson sampling problem more than 10 to the 5

Elon Musk's SpaceX is projected to invest a minimum of $55 billion in Texas to establish a semiconductor manufacturing plant, aiming to supply hardware across his entire corporate ecosystem. Elon Musk CEO of Spacex According to The New York Times, the sheer scale of billionaire Elon Musk's ambitious plan to construct a massive computer chip factory in Texas is gradually coming to light. This information was disclosed in a public hearing notice filed on May 7 in Grimes County,

US startup Agility Robotics’ humanoid robot Digit deadlifted 29 kilograms in a recent lab test, demonstrating coordinated full-body control and improved stability for industrial tasks. The Oregon-based company said engineers conducted the test to evaluate Digit’s actuator strength, joint durability, and real-time control systems. Deadlifts were selected because they require synchronized movement across the entire body. The task forces continuous adjustments in the arms, legs,

Chinese scientists say they have developed a method to grow ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor materials some 1,000 times faster than existing techniques, a breakthrough that could support next-generation AI chips. Rising demand for high-performance, energy-efficient chips, driven by AI and large language models, is pushing existing semiconductor technology close to its limits. As transistors, the tiny switches that power chips, shrink to near-atomic sizes, enginee

Apple’s first foldable iPhone remains on track for a September launch alongside its next flagship models, despite earlier reports of delays linked to engineering challenges, Bloomberg reported.
