Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman said that Apple is already testing the so-called C2 modem as well as its successor, the C3, which is expected to arrive in 2027, by which time Apple hopes it will “outdo Qualcomm’s modem capabilities.” MacRumors has previously reported that Apple is testing a C2 modem. Apple’s […]
The new 24MP L-mount mirrorless model introduces a more intuitive way to use a camera by replacing the traditional shooting mode dial with direct access to shutter speed, aperture, ISO, EV compensation and color mode selection. Designed to last, the Sigma BF is touted by its maker as the first camera in history to feature […]
An international research team led by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya—BarcelonaTech (UPC) has created a hybrid device that combines, for the first time ever, molecular solar thermal energy storage with silicon-based photovoltaic energy. It achieves a record energy storage efficiency of 2.3% and up to 14.9% total solar energy utilization. Photovoltaic solar energy has become […]
Australia’s transition to renewables is gathering speed, but there’s a looming problem with storage. We will need much more long-duration storage to get us through the night, once coal and fossil gas exit the system. We also need to find new and better ways to create heat for industrial processes. Renewables can supply much of that […]
Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), and Google parent Alphabet (GOOG) are expecting to spend a cumulative $325 billion in capital expenditures and investments in 2025 driven by a continued commitment to building out artificial intelligence infrastructure. Taken together, this marks a 46% increase from the roughly $223 billion those companies reported spending in 2024. […]
As technology continues to evolve, so too do the tools that banks have at their disposal. By Jim Pytell, Managing Editor On Feb 7, 2025 According to the 2024 Bank of America Business Owner Report, digital transformation continues to be a key priority for businesses, with 71% of small business owners and 99% of mid-sized […]
A study published in Nature Energy reveals that a combination of electrification, improved energy efficiency, and smarter energy use can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in buildings and transport—two sectors that together account for 58% of global energy consumption and 26% of global emissions. Researchers, including from the CMCC, show that these reductions are achievable […]
Amazon said Thursday it plans to boost its capital expenditures to $100 billion in 2025, as it continues its investments in artificial intelligence. The capex figure exceeds last year’s spending of roughly $83 billion. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy had predicted in October that the company’s 2025 capex would surpass last year’s figure, primarily driven by growth in […]
The world’s largest automaker wants to catch up in the global EV race after falling behind rivals like Tesla and BYD. On Wednesday, Toyota announced that its $14 billion EV battery plant in North Carolina is open for business. The new facility will begin shipping batteries for Toyota’s electric vehicles in April. Meanwhile, Toyota revealed separate plans to challenge […]
OpenAI partners with SoftBank to launch Cristal intelligence, an enterprise AI system set to automate workflows and reshape business operations in Japan Enterprise AI has hit a pivotal moment. Companies are moving past experimental phases and diving into full-scale deployments. The focus has shifted from building general-purpose AI models to developing systems that integrate deeply with […]
Alphabet, the parent company of technology giant Google, is no longer promising that it will never use artificial intelligence (AI) for purposes such as developing weapons and surveillance tools. The firm has rewritten the principles guiding its use of AI, dropping a section which ruled out uses that were “likely to cause harm”. In a […]
DGIST research teams have developed a self-powered sensor that uses motion and pressure to generate electricity and light simultaneously. This battery-free technology is expected to be used in various real-life applications, such as disaster rescue, sports, and wearable devices. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) and mechanoluminescence (ML) have attracted attention as green energy technologies that can generate […]
