Under a grey morning sky, engineers cluster around a tablet as strong winds tear their voices apart. On the screen, a red marker inches forward across a digital map of the ocean floor. Far beneath the waves, a robotic drill slowly cuts into ancient rock, marking the first metres of what could become the longest underwater rail tunnel ever built. There are no ceremonies or speeches, only the

In a landmark achievement in quantum physics, researchers at Columbia University have successfully created a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) from molecules, achieving a goal that has eluded scientists for decades. The team, led by physicist Sebastian Will, cooled sodium-cesium molecules to an extraordinary 5 nanoKelvin, or roughly minus 459.66 degrees Fahrenheit, causing the molecules to lose

A Chinese automotive supplier has introduced an innovative approach to vehicle safety with what it claims is the world’s first helmet-style airbag integrated directly into car seats. Unlike conventional airbags that protect a single impact area, this system inflates around the head, neck, shoulders, and spine, complementing side airbags to fully shield passengers during a collision.

Chinese scientists have created an advanced neuromorphic electronic skin that enables humanoid robots to sense touch similarly to humans. The technology, detailed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, allows robots to process tactile signals locally, mimicking the human nervous system. This enables immediate responses without relying on a central computer.

Pakistan’s first computer chip manufacturing unit will be set up in Faisalabad, marking a major step toward strengthening the country’s technology and industrial base. The government has already allocated 50 acres of land in the M-3 Industrial Estate for the construction of a modern expo centre, according to Provincial Minister for Industries, Commerce and Investment Chaudhary Shafay Hussain.

Elon Musk’s brain-implant company Neuralink announced that it will begin high-volume production of its brain-computer interface devices in 2026 and transition to a fully automated surgical procedure, according to a post Musk shared on the social media platform X. Neuralink did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Russia is advancing plans to develop its own RAM production amid a global memory shortage fueled by rising demand from AI systems and data centers. The initiative aims to reduce dependence on foreign chip suppliers, especially as sanctions and export controls limit access to advanced semiconductor components.

CATL has launched the world’s first large-scale electric vehicle battery production line fully operated by humanoid robots, marking a significant milestone in automated manufacturing. The facility, located at CATL’s Luoyang plant in Henan, is designed to take over complex, high-precision, and high-risk tasks previously performed by human workers, boosting both efficiency and safety.

Pronet (Private) Limited has revealed a major internal fraud involving over $750,000, marking one of the most significant corporate misconduct cases in Pakistan’s IT sector this year. Internal investigations and a First Information Report (FIR) filed by the company indicate that the alleged scheme involved fabricated vendor networks, shell companies, and falsified procurement documents. The FIR

New research warns that AI data centers could produce more carbon dioxide emissions in 2025 than New York City, underscoring the growing environmental impact of energy-intensive artificial intelligence systems. The findings, published in the journal Patterns, highlight the significant climate and resource challenges associated with rapidly expanding AI infrastructure.
