A closed-loop hydrogen engine achieves over 60% efficiency, matching diesel power output in lab tests. The team notes limits in power density and potential CO2 accumulation from lubricants.
Vesicles with double-bond phospholipids fused into larger compartments during freeze-thaw cycles, capturing DNA more effectively than rigid membranes. Fluid membranes supported fusion but risked leakage under freeze-thaw stress.
Meta's data centers used over 18,000 GWh in 2024, and the company has reserved 1 gigawatt of power from satellites that beam infrared light to solar farms at night. The first orbital power transmission test is planned for 2028, but the fleet of 1,000 spacecraft is not expected to launch until 2030.
Samsung announced a new 14-meter standard size for its Onyx cinema LED displays, designed for Premium Large Format theaters. The screen can be scaled up to 20 meters, but the new format requires a pixel pitch of 3.3mm to maintain image quality.
Shenzhen team runs coal through oxide membrane, captures CO₂ on-site, skips combustion. Lab unit silent, but scale-up durability unproven.
X's new messaging app, XChat, fully adopts iOS 26 design language but currently has no announced release date for Android. The app promises end-to-end encryption and ad-free messaging.
