Samsung and its union meet Monday in a last attempt to prevent an 18-day chip factory strike

Samsung Electronics and its largest labour union will resume negotiations on Monday in what South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-Seok has described as “virtually the last chance” to prevent an 18-day strike at the world’s biggest memory chipmaker. If the talks fail, the union’s 41,000 confirmed participants, a number expected to exceed 50,000, will walk […]

This memory chip works at 700 degrees Celsius. The startup behind it is already building AI chips that compute where GPUs cannot.

  Every probe humanity has sent to Venus has died. The Soviet Venera landers survived between 23 minutes and two hours on a surface where the temperature exceeds 460 degrees Celsius. Their electronics, designed to endure heat that would melt lead, still failed. The longest-lived mission in the history of Venus exploration lasted 127 minutes. […]

The UAE’s AI champion just leased a converted Minneapolis office. The irony writes itself.

The building at 1001 Third Avenue South in downtown Minneapolis used to be an office. Now it is a data centre, and its anchor tenant is not a Silicon Valley hyperscaler but Core42, the cloud and AI infrastructure subsidiary of Abu Dhabi’s G42 Group. The lease, reported by Bloomberg on Wednesday, covers 20 megawatts of […]

LiveEO raises €28m to take its civil-infrastructure satellite stack into European defence

The Berlin geospatial-AI company has closed the first slice of a new round, with defence VC Helantic alongside Nordic Ninja, MMC, and the EIC. Most of the money funds the same product. The strategic shift is who else gets to buy it. European defence-tech rounds, in 2026, are no longer being raised on a pure-defence […]

In April 2025, Intel was trading at $18. Fourteen months later it hit an all-time high. The turnaround was not built by Intel alone.

In April 2025, Intel’s stock was trading at 18 dollars. The company had fired its CEO three months earlier, lost the AI chip race to Nvidia so completely that analysts had stopped including it in competitive comparisons, and was being discussed in the financial press primarily as an acquisition target or a candidate for dismemberment.

QuantWare lands €152m to build the world’s largest open-architecture quantum processor fab in Delft

The Series B is the largest ever raised by a Dutch deeptech company, and the largest private round any dedicated quantum-processor company has closed. Intel Capital, In-Q-Tel, and ETF Partners are joining a syndicate that already had FORWARD.one and Invest-NL. There is, in 2026, a very specific kind of European deeptech success story that policy-makers […]

Why building frontier tech isn’t about solving equations but surviving uncertainty and skepticism

Developing frontier technology is often framed as a technical challenge, as if the entire endeavor could be reduced to solving a single equation. In my experience, that framing is incomplete and misleading. The real work has very little to do with arriving at one correct answer and far more to do with navigating an environment […]
