SpaceX has successfully launched 29 new Starlink satellites, further expanding its growing global internet network. The mission forms part of the company’s ongoing effort to provide fast, low-latency broadband to users in remote and underserved regions around the world. The satellites were deployed into low Earth orbit aboard a Falcon 9 rocket, continuing SpaceX’s rapid launch schedule. Each mission adds capacity, improves coverage, and enhances network reliability as demand

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are no longer just a moonshot story centered on Neuralink. In a recent TechCrunch report, China’s BCI industry is described as moving from research into commercial scale , with momentum coming from policy support, clinical trials, and investor interest . The article highlights startups working on both implantable  and non-invasive  approaches, including NeuroXess and Gestala. One key driver is policy. TechCrunch notes that in August 2025 , Chi

A once famous hacker conference demo has become a large-scale crime trend. According to a recent TechCrunch report citing an FBI bulletin, ATM “jackpotting” attacks surged in 2025, with more than 700 attacks  and at least $20 million in stolen cash . In these attacks, criminals don’t drain customer bank accounts directly — they compromise the ATM itself and force it to dispense cash. The technique combines physical tampering  (like using generic keys to open ATM panels or acc

Uber has launched Uber Autonomous Solutions, a dedicated division that positions the company as a comprehensive partner for autonomous vehicle developers. Executives aim to handle the operational heavy lifting for robotaxis, self-driving trucks, and sidewalk delivery robots. They provide software tools, fleet management support, regulatory guidance, and user experience integration. This approach allows partners to focus on building the technology while Uber manages commercial

Lamborghini has cancelled plans for its first fully electric model, the Lanzador, originally slated for production around 2028. CEO Stephan Winkelmann confirmed the decision in recent interviews. He described customer interest in all-electric supercars as "close to zero" and developing full EVs as an "expensive hobby" that would prove financially irresponsible toward shareholders, customers, employees, and their families. The company now pivots to plug-in hybrids. The Lanzado

Microsoft has ap pointed Asha Sharma as Executive Vice President and CEO of Microsoft Gaming, succeeding Phil Spencer after his 38-year tenure at the company. Sharma, who joined Microsoft in 2024 from Instacart and previously led the CoreAI product initiative, reports directly to CEO Satya Nadella. The transition marks a significant shift. Spencer built Xbox into a multi-platform ecosystem, yet recent challenges have prompted change. Sharma brings expertise in scaling platfo

The National Hurricane Center expands its integration of artificial intelligence tools to improve tropical cyclone tracking and intensity predictions. Forecasters now routinely incorporate AI guidance alongside traditional models. A standout performer comes from Google's DeepMind. The AI-based hurricane model, developed in partnership with NOAA, delivered top accuracy for track and intensity during the 2025 season. It outperformed physics-based systems in several cases, inclu

Official product renders originating from Nokia have reportedly leaked online, offering an early look at the upcoming Nothing Phone 4a ahead of its expected launch. The images, which appear to be press materials, suggest that the Nothing Phone 4a will retain the brand’s distinctive transparent design language while introducing subtle refinements to its rear lighting interface and camera layout. The device seems to feature a dual camera system arranged within a simplified hous

Tata Group has announced a strategic partnership with OpenAI to develop a major artificial intelligence hub in India, marking a significant step in the country’s ambitions to expand its AI infrastructure. The collaboration aims to create a large scale research and development centre focused on advanced artificial intelligence systems, including language models, enterprise solutions and industry specific applications. The proposed hub is expected to support sectors such as hea

A £70 price tag in the UK has long signalled a AAA release: large teams, cinematic visuals and dozens of hours of gameplay. Nintendo pushed that ceiling higher in 2025, listing major Switch titles at £74.99. Industry speculation suggests the next Grand Theft Auto could even reach $100, though its publisher has yet to confirm pricing. Yet several critically acclaimed titles with AAA polish — including ARC Raiders, Split Fiction and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — launched at £30

AI-generated videos depicting scenes of urban decay in UK cities are spreading rapidly on social media, racking up millions of views and shaping public perception in ways that don’t match everyday experience. Creators of the content combine imagery of disused public spaces with crowds of people in balaclavas. One clip purports to show “roadmen in Parliament” and reached eight million views in a single day. The originator of the trend, who goes by the handle RadialB and says h

Scientists may have discovered a key material for ultra-fast, energy-efficient quantum computers. Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) report early evidence that a rare niobium-rhenium alloy, NbRe, could be a triplet superconductor—a material capable of transmitting both electricity and electron spin with zero resistance. Triplet superconductors could stabilise quantum computers while drastically reducing their energy consumption. Unlike co

The chipmaker aims to take a stake in one of its largest customers, signalling a deepening financial and strategic link between the two companies. OpenAI is pursuing more than $100 billion in this funding round, which would value the ChatGPT creator at roughly $830 billion, making it one of the largest private capital raises in history. SoftBank Group and Amazon are expected to join the round, according to previous reports. This collaboration underscores the increasingly inte

Tesla has marked a major production milestone with the unveiling of its first Cybercab — a purpose-built, fully autonomous vehicle designed for its robotaxi service — at the company’s Gigafactory in Texas, but fresh safety data from its existing autonomous fleet is drawing scrutiny. The Cybercab, a two-door vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals, represents Tesla’s vision of future autonomy and is intended to serve as a robotaxi that can operate without human intervention
