As GPU counts in AI servers soar, rack power consumption has reached record highs, straining data-center energy systems. In response, major European and US power semiconductor makers, including STMicroelectronics (STM) and Onsemi, are rolling out advanced power-management technologies to enhance efficiency, reduce heat, and lower overall system costs.
Quantum sensing, one of the three pillars of quantum technology alongside quantum computing and quantum communication, is rapidly advancing toward commercial use. By leveraging quantum effects at atomic or subatomic scales, quantum sensors enable precision and security beyond the reach of conventional systems.
China's Unitree Robotics has launched the H2 humanoid robot, a 50% heavier successor to its H1 model. The design move stands in contrast to Tesla's lightweight Optimus and highlights the diverging engineering paths of Chinese and US humanoid development, potentially spurring advances in materials, structure, and actuation technology.
