According to the Royal Navy, HMS Dreadnought will contain 26 miles (42.5 km) of pipes, and 20,000 cables. The vessel will also feature adaptive lighting for the crew. This will simulate day and night on board. As the crew will sometimes be submerged for months at a time, this will help with their sleep patterns and mental health. The submarine will also contain a full fitness center.
A symbolic ceremony for the nuclear submarine
The HMS Dreadnought has an estimated cost of roughly £31 billion ($39 billion). The submarine will be the 12th Royal Navy vessel to bear that name. The first was a 40-gun ship built in 1553.
One of the most famous vessels in Royal Navy history, the 1906 HMS Dreadnought, revolutionized battleship design and completely changed naval warfare. The name comes from the idea that those aboard such an advanced vessel should “dread nought” – i.e. fear nothing.
Выяснилось, почему суд удовлетворил ходатайство Ефремова об УДО
Суд в Белгородской области условно-досрочно освободил актера Михаила Ефремова, осужденного на 7,5 лет колонии по делу о смертельном ДТП в пьяном виде. Если прокуратура это решение не оспорит (что вряд ли), то через 15 дней Ефремов выйдет на свободу. «МК» проверил, насколько популярный артист заслужил подобное снисхождение.
The company, headquartered in Hangzhou, in China’s eastern coastal province of Zhejiang, made headlines last year with the debut of its latest robot dog, Lynx – a dynamic machine capable of gliding across ice, powering through deep snow, and performing impressive leaps and flips.
However, in a recent video, the company once again highlighted its advanced tech game by introducing one of its models’ innovative features which enables real-time perception in unfamiliar environments. This advancement not only enhances the robot’s agility and spatial awareness, but also allows the four-legged machine to navigate without prior mapping and adapt more effectively to dynamic or unstructured surroundings.
“One-touch navigation enables real-time perception in unknown environments without the need for prior mapping, freeing up operators and enhancing the robotic dog’s ability to escape and overcome obstacles in complex environments,” Deep Robotics emphasizes.
Particularly effective at navigating unstable terrain and operating in extreme conditions, quadruped robots have proven invaluable in post-disaster search and rescue efforts due to their ability to move across rubble, slip through narrow gaps, and reach areas inaccessible to wheeled machines.
“Localization is essential for international success,” Cheng concludes. “Our products have already demonstrated their value in China, and we’re confident they will become benchmarks globally.”

Рано или поздно в такую семью пожалуют проверяющие из опеки.
Детей отберут и поместят в казенные учреждения, естественно, исключительно из «благих» намерений, чтобы не жили в нищете. А над самой женщиной повиснет дамоклов меч ограничения, а затем и лишения родительских прав. После чего она надолго попадает в кабалу алиментов: чем больше должна, тем меньше шансов, что детей вернут, чем больше платит, тем беднее сама становится…

Mech can effectively load towering stacks of boxes and manage jobs like truck loading, palletizing, depalletizing, and unloading, thanks to its increased vertical reach of more than eight feet. Productivity is greatly increased by its capacity to finish tasks without shifting positions.
Mech is enterprise-ready, designed for seamless integration into any industrial environment. Its adaptability across various tasks makes it ideal for managing workflows from inbound to outbound. Additionally, it supports edge computing for stand-alone operation or can connect to the cloud for remote management. Built to last, Mech’s arms, developed by Kawasaki and Hiwin, ensure long-term reliability with over 10 years of mean time between failures (MTBF).
According to reports, this enables the scramjet to almost double its overall thrust. When the new afterburner was tested, the team found a boost of around 86.6% in ground tests at conditions simulating Mach 6 and high altitude.
Another key benefit of the technology is that it doesn’t rely solely on atmospheric oxygen; it uses existing exhaust gases. The engine also uses kerosene fuel as a coolant to protect engine walls from extreme heat, improving overall efficiency.
They also note that further testing is needed at different flight speeds and altitudes to ensure the technology’s reliability and adaptability. The team notes that if issues with the technology can be ironed out, it could further cement China’s position at the cutting edge of hypersonic propulsion development.
It could also play an important role in future hypersonic civilian and military technologies, notably enhancing the strategic capabilities of China’s growing hypersonic missile systems.
На что же она жила и живет? Она устроилась уборщицей, обещали заплатить 50 тысяч рублей (речь идет о Владивостоке, там цены в два раза выше, чем в Москве). Получила в итоге… 8 тысяч.
«Я предполагала, что хозяин может меня обмануть и не отдать заработанные деньги. Но все равно убирала, так как надеялась, что он их все-таки отдаст», — вздыхает моя собеседница.
Randy Wilkerson, representing Boeing in a NASA-led research initiative, noted, “The goal is to recommend the best approach to transition to the next airplane program. Among the promising materials gaining traction are thermoplastics.”
Can be reheated and reshaped
Unlike traditional thermoset composites, thermoplastics can be reheated and reshaped.
Lukas Raps from the German Aerospace Centre highlighted this flexibility, explaining that the ability to melt and remold thermoplastics allows for creating seamless, aerodynamic structures.
York Roth, a senior researcher with Airbus in Germany, reportedly emphasized the potential of thermoplastics when he said, “There is no doubt that thermoplastic materials offer opportunities that we don’t have with thermosets.”
Thermoplastics could also permit welding instead of riveting, significantly reducing the metal fasteners required for each aircraft.
However, such changes would still need to undergo rigorous certification processes.
This setup successfully demonstrated remote entanglement — a unique quantum phenomenon where two processors become linked, even though they are not physically connected.
Entanglement is key to allowing processors to work together as if they were side by side, no matter the physical distance between them.
Overcoming challenges in photon transfer
For this system to work effectively, the photon needs to be absorbed successfully when it reaches the receiving processor.
However, imperfections in the waveguide, such as wire joints and connections, can distort the photon during its travel.
This makes it difficult for the photon to be absorbed at the other end.
“The challenge in this work was shaping the photon appropriately so we could maximize the absorption efficiency,” explains Aziza Almanakly, an electrical engineering and computer science graduate student and lead author of the paper.
To tackle this, the team used reinforcement learning, a type of artificial intelligence, to optimize the shape of the photon before it was sent.
This adjustment significantly improved the photon’s absorption rate, reaching over 60% efficiency.
Potential for larger quantum networks
With this advancement, researchers are closer to building larger, more reliable quantum computing systems.
“Pitching and catching photons enables us to create a ‘quantum interconnect’ between nonlocal quantum processors, and with quantum interconnects comes remote entanglement,” says William D. Oliver, senior author of the study.
23andMe's stock has mostly been in free fall in recent years as the company struggled to generate recurring revenue and stand up viable research and therapeutics businesses. As of Monday morning, the company has a market capitalization of around $25 million.
Last March, 23andMe's independent directors formed a special committee to evaluate the company's potential paths forward. Wojcicki submitted multiple proposals to take the company private, but all were rejected. The special committee "unanimously determined to reject" Wojcicki's most recent proposal earlier this month.
"Hacks and phishing could effectively cause a business to crash," said Barlow, who focuses on private equity M&A. "This is a business that is fundamental to operating, so cybersecurity has been a resilient area for quite some time."
While megacap technology giants haven't shied away from cybersecurity investments, AI tail winds have forced companies to beef up their offerings. Google's Wiz deal could force rival Amazon to make its own acquisition, Maxim said. Potential targets include startups Aqua Security, Orca Security and Sysdig.
"The Google-Wiz tie-up does give them some capabilities that make them stronger than AWS in some areas," Maxim said. "AWS could target acquisitions to potentially bring their solution closer to Google."
Netskope, which also offers cloud security, is another company being closely watched for an IPO, said Brianne Lynch, head of market insight at EquityZen. Netskope told The Wall Street Journal last year that it was planning an IPO in 2025. The company may start to feel pressure from early investors hunting for liquidity 13 years after its founding, Lynch said.
Snyk, a cybersecurity startup founded about a decade ago, has also alluded to a public offering next year. The company was last valued at $7.4 billion and CEO Peter McKay said in a post last year that Snyk had crossed $300 million in annual recurring revenue.
The big question is whether now is the rip-the-bandage-off moment for companies that decide to go public or whether market volatility will cause companies to once again kick the can down the road, Lynch said.
Experts say that Baidu's open-source plans represent a broader shift in China, away from a business strategy that focuses on proprietary licensing.
"Baidu has always been very supportive of its proprietary business model and was vocal against open-source, but disruptors like DeepSeek have proven that open-source models can be as competitive and reliable as proprietary ones," Lian Jye Su, chief analyst with technology research and advisory group Omdia previously told CNBC.
AI scholar and entrepreneur Kai-Fu Lee also believes this dynamic will impact OpenAI, noting in a recent social media post that it would be difficult for the company to justify its pricing when the competition is "free and formidable."
"The biggest revelation from DeepSeek is that open-source has won," said Lee, whose Chinese startup 01.AI has built an LLM platform for enterprises seeking to use DeepSeek.
On the other hand, Chinese companies have chosen the open-source route as they compete with the more proprietary approach of U.S. firms, said Constellation Research's Wang. "They are hoping for faster adoption than the closed models of the U.S.," he added.
Speaking to CNBC's "Street Signs Asia" on Wednesday, Tim Wang, managing partner of tech-focused hedge fund Monolith Management, said that models from companies such as DeepSeek have been "great enablers and multipliers in China," demonstrating how things can be done with more limited resources.
According to Wang, open-source models have pushed down costs, opening doors for product innovation — something he says Chinese companies historically have been very good at.
These suits were initially projected to have a lifespan of 15 extravehicular activities (EVAs) within a three-year window. However, they have surpassed these expectations, demonstrating exceptional durability and reliability.
“The extravehicular spacesuit is more intricate than the spacesuit worn inside the spacecraft. It has more layers to meet the demands of spacewalks. In addition to ensuring a proper pressure differential, which helps astronauts survive in space, the suit also includes a system to regulate temperature effectively,” Yang Yuguang, chair of the Space Transportation Committee of the International Astronautical Federation, told CGTN.
