With the 2026 Formula One (F1) season opener in Australia, the first competitive validation of the sport's new regulatory framework has already highlighted the impact of a fundamental powertrain shift. Mercedes-AMG secured a dominant one-two finish, underpinned by a clear performance gap. In qualifying, the team achieved a pole position lap time approximately 0.8 seconds ahead of the third-place competitor, while extending a lead of more than 15 seconds over Ferrari during the race
Drones are rapidly transforming modern warfare, offering relatively low-cost alternatives to traditional weapons while driving changes across defense supply chains. Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), often costing only a few thousand dollars, are now capable of striking targets hundreds of kilometers away, including armored vehicles, ships, and air defense systems
Samsung Electronics' self-developed mobile application processor (AP) series, Exynos, long criticized for poor performance and overheating issues, is showing signs of revival. The new Exynos 2600, built on the advanced 2nm second-generation process (SF2), has delivered unexpectedly strong performance results compared to its previous chips, laying a foundation for the once-struggling chip line to bounce back
Alibaba and Baidu have raised prices for AI computing services, reflecting a broader shift in how cloud providers monetize AI as demand for tokenized workloads accelerates
Recent shifts in the memory market are putting significant pressure on the e-reader supply chain, from upstream manufacturers to midstream module makers and downstream brand companies
A diplomatic dispute over administrative nomenclature has escalated into a high-stakes standoff between Taiwan and South Korea, threatening to cast a shadow over one of the world's most critical semiconductor supply chains
OpenClaw's "lobster-raising" wave is moving from developers into China's internet and software sectors at speed in early 2026. Unlike earlier large-model races centred on parameters and compute, this AI agent cycle is defined by a single question: who controls the user entry point
The most significant revelation from CEO Sanjay Mehrotra during Micron's earnings call was the structural shift in how the company engages with its largest customers
OpenClaw is forcing a rethink of the AI hardware stack, shifting the locus of deployment from cloud-based interaction to autonomous, always-on agents running locally on devices
Britain and Taiwan are quietly building one of the space industry's more ambitious bilateral partnerships — one grounded not just in government agreements, but in classrooms, laboratories, and shared satellite infrastructure
The cost of running an AI query has fallen by roughly 99% over the past two years. That should be a story about savings. Instead, it's a story about demand
Jensen Huang's "five-layer cake" model for AI is a tidy recipe: energy, chips, infrastructure, models, applications — stacked in order. Applied to China, the cake looks polished on top. Pull it apart, though, and the middle layers are still underbaked
On March 11 (US time), Nvidia announced a US$26 billion five-year investment in open-source large language models and introduced Nemotron 3 Super, its most powerful hybrid mixture-of-experts model to date. The company said the model outperforms OpenAI's open-source GPT-OSS in several benchmark tests
A core researcher behind Alibaba's Qwen large language model has left the company and is reportedly joining ByteDance's AI research unit Seed, Chinese media reported. The move underscores intensifying competition for AI talent as China's tech firms accelerate development of next-generation foundation models
