The UK military is jamming other nations' satellites as a form of self-defence, according to information given to the BBC. The disclosure sheds light on Britain's offensive electronic warfare capabilities in orbit, an area where governments rarely confirm operations. It comes amid growing concern over the vulnerability of satellite systems and space becoming a contested military domain between major powers.

Chinese researchers have developed an electron gun beam described as world-leading, a key step toward building a 'super microscope' electron microscope with unprecedented resolution. The advance is being framed as strengthening China's position in high-end scientific instrumentation, an area long dominated by Western and Japanese manufacturers, and could support research in materials science and semiconductor development.

Nvidia has added LG Electronics to its Partner Network as a preferred cooling provider, aiming to ease the power and heat constraints of large-scale AI data centers. While attention usually falls on Nvidia's GPUs, the company is signaling that thermal management is becoming a critical bottleneck, giving LG a direct path to supply cooling technology for AI infrastructure.

The Wall Street Journal reports on how the United States is working to challenge China's dominance over critical minerals, materials essential for electronics, batteries and defense technology. The piece examines U.S. strategies to build alternative supply chains and reduce dependence on Chinese exports, a growing priority in the broader economic and strategic rivalry between Washington and Beijing.

South Korean chip developer Moblint is working with LG, Doosan and Daedong to build on-device AI semiconductors designed to run artificial intelligence directly inside robots and home appliances. The partnerships signal a push to bring AI processing off the cloud and into everyday consumer and industrial hardware across Korea's electronics and machinery sectors.

South Korean semiconductor startup Mobilint has announced partnerships with LG, Doosan Robotics and Daedong to supply its on-device AI chips. The deals would embed Mobilint's neural processing technology directly into products spanning consumer electronics, industrial robots and agricultural machinery, allowing AI tasks to run locally without cloud connections. The move highlights South Korea's push to build a domestic edge-AI chip industry to compete with global players.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is pressing the DC Circuit to vacate a drone flight restriction that effectively criminalized recording immigration agents from the air. The group argues the rule blocks lawful First Amendment activity, preventing the public and journalists from documenting federal immigration enforcement operations. The case is now before the appeals court, drawing attention from civil liberties advocates.
