- 1UK military jamming other nations' satellites to defend itself●UK military jamming other nations' satellites to defend itself, BBC told
The UK military is jamming satellites belonging to other nations as a defensive measure, according to information given to the BBC. The disclosure sheds light on Britain's electronic warfare capabilities in orbit, an area governments rarely discuss publicly. The report has drawn attention to growing competition and defensive operations in space among major military powers.
- 2Nvidia brings LG Electronics in as preferred cooling partner●Nvidia is tackling its massive AI power bottleneck by bringing LG Electronics into its Partner Network as a preferred co
Nvidia has added LG Electronics to its Partner Network as a preferred cooling provider, aiming to ease the power and heat constraints of its AI data centre systems. The alliance gives LG a direct route to supply thermal management technology, as attention shifts from GPUs to the cooling infrastructure needed to run them.
- 3Power Electronics to build nation's largest power conversion manufacturing campus●Power Electronics building nation’s largest power conversion manufacturing campus
Power Electronics has announced plans to build the country's largest power conversion manufacturing campus. The facility would consolidate production of inverters and power conversion equipment used in solar and energy storage projects at a single large-scale site. The move signals growing investment in domestic clean-energy manufacturing, though details on location, size and timeline were not included in the initial report.
- 4Russia's Geran-4 Drone Built From Hobby Jet Parts●Russia's Geran-4 Runs On A $25,000 Hobby Jet, Texas Instruments Chips
Analysis of Russia's Geran-4 attack drone shows it is built around a roughly $25,000 hobby jet engine and relies on Texas Instruments microchips, despite Western sanctions meant to cut Russia off from advanced electronics. The findings highlight how cheap consumer and off-the-shelf components continue to power Russian weapons used in the war against Ukraine.

Researchers report that hyperbolic wave attractors, structures that trap and concentrate light waves, could be used to build next-generation optical chips. By confining light more efficiently, the approach may improve photonic circuits used in computing and communications. Details of the research and its practical applications remain limited in the available reporting.
