Trump Media & Technology Group will merge with fusion energy leader TAE Technologies in a $6 billion deal. The new entity, led by co-CEOs Devin Nunes and Michl Binderbauer, aims to build the world’s first utility-scale fusion power plant by 2026.
SAIC MG is delivering the MG4, the world’s first mass-produced EV with a semi-solid-state battery. Starting under $15,000, this model features a safer battery that survived penetration tests with no fire or explosion, marking a major leap in affordable EV technology.
A team at ICFO in Barcelona, led by ICREA Prof. Jens Biegert, has generated a 19.2-attosecond soft X-ray pulse—the shortest light flash ever measured. This record-breaking pulse creates an unparalleled tool for filming electron dynamics in real time.
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have shattered a century-old temperature limit with a motionless heat pump that hits 270°C. Led by Professor Luo Ercang, the breakthrough could let sunlight or waste heat power metal smelting, slashing industrial carbon emissions and energy costs.
Eighty years after the Hiroshima bombing, Kanagawa Dental University scientists used DNA from preserved hair to identify 13-year-old Hatsue Kajiyama. Her nephew’s search and a breakthrough in forensic analysis finally corrected a decades-old misidentification among 70,000 unknown remains.
BMW Group and joint venture Encory GmbH have launched a pioneering battery recycling center in Salching, Bavaria. Using an innovative direct recycling method, the facility will recover mid-double-digit tonnes of raw materials annually from production waste, feeding them directly back into new battery pilot production.

Incat Tasmania has energized the world’s largest battery-electric ship, the 130-meter Hull 096 for Buquebus. With a 40 MWh battery system—four times larger than any prior ship—the ferry marks a historic leap for zero-emission maritime transport.
The U.S. Department of Energy has started solidifying radioactive waste into glass at Washington’s Hanford Nuclear Reservation. The first 5,500 liters treated mark a pivotal step in cleaning up 56 million gallons of legacy waste from America’s atomic weapons program, a project decades in the making.
GE Vernova Hitachi’s BWRX-300 small modular reactor has cleared a major UK regulatory hurdle, completing Step 2 of the Generic Design Assessment faster than any competitor. With construction already started in Canada, the design gains crucial momentum in the global SMR race.
