For over a decade, the push for direct current power in data centers stalled, trapped by the physics of copper. Now, with AI driving power demands past 200kW per rack, high-temperature superconductors (HTS) are emerging as the missing enabler, offering a path to safe, low-voltage, high-density DC po
Tesla saw a rare sales increase of 9.9% in China for November, according to new data. However, its main rival BYD, despite a recent sales dip, is still poised to take the global EV crown this year.

A team from Maynooth University has joined the Mauve Science Programme to study young stars using a novel ultraviolet telescope just launched into space. The suitcase-sized instrument will monitor stellar brightness for clues about early planet formation.
A new report forecasts explosive growth for battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the UK, essential for managing a renewable-heavy grid. Lithium-ion dominates now, but longer-duration tech and even EV batteries will play crucial future roles, though fire safety remains a key challenge.
European Space Agency’s exploration program faces a 30% budget shortfall after member states approved just €2.66 billion of the requested €3.77 billion. The funding gap means some missions will be cut or reshaped, with Mars Sample Return contributions already being reworked.
Apple has secured a four-year extension on its delayed North Carolina campus project, pushing hiring requirements to 2027. The company hasn’t started construction on the planned $552 million campus despite securing up to $845 million in incentives back in 2021.
Cwieme Berlin is launching a dedicated Electric Motor Forum at its 2026 event. The forum aims to unite Europe’s electric motor industry across automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. It will feature exhibitions, networking, and discussions on supply chain resilience and sustainable materi
Quantum Critical Metals and Nusano have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on developing and refining critical minerals in North America. The partnership aims to strengthen supply chains by bringing high-purity mineral processing back from overseas locations.
