Nuclear power usually arrives with a very large price tag and a very long wait. Nuclear Turbines, a Manchester startup spun out of BAE Systems, has raised £15M to argue that it need not be either, at a moment when nuclear power startups across Europe are pulling in record amounts of private capital. The foundational round was […]

The headline number from Starship’s 13th flight is not 20 satellites. It is one word in SpaceX’s own flight report: intact. Starship lifted off from Starbase in Texas at 5:51pm on Friday, after delays and engine replacements pushed the attempt back. It was the second flight of the V3 vehicles. It was also the first […]

Start with the number, because the number moved fast. Google has agreed to cover as much as $44bn of lease payments on data centres owned by other people, should the tenant default. It disclosed the figure last week. At the end of September the same commitment stood at $6.5bn, The Information reported. That is close […]

Identity and access management has become a foundational component of enterprise cybersecurity, but the systems organizations buy to manage identity often create a second problem: making those systems work across the full complexity of the enterprise. Way Security, founded by former security leaders Yossi Barishev and Yonatan Rosenberg, is targeting that challenge with an AI-powered […]

Fareed Zakaria opened with the question everyone is circling. Are we in an AI bubble, and has it begun to deflate? OpenAI has promised to spend hundreds of billions while making a fraction of that, he noted. The maths does not add up. Nadella did not push back. He reframed the question as a test […]

Sam Altman has a preferred way of framing the contest over artificial intelligence, and it is a stark one. Either the United States and its allies build the technology and spread its benefits, the OpenAI chief has argued, or authoritarian governments use it to cement and expand their own power. That binary, set out most […]

Roughly 750,000 words of AI output costs $50 if you buy it from Anthropic’s Fable. The same volume from DeepSeek’s V4-Pro costs about 87 cents, Fortune reported. Z.AI’s GLM-5.2 charges $4.40. Moonshot’s Kimi K3, pricey by Chinese standards, charges $15. Corporate America has noticed. Companies spent a year competing to burn tokens. Now they shop […]

China has a new most valuable listed company, and it makes the chips inside your phone. CXMT, formerly ChangXin Memory Technologies, closed its Shanghai debut up 466% on Monday, the South China Morning Post reported. That values the Hefei firm at 3.28 trillion yuan, or about $485bn. The numbers are hard to overstate. CXMT priced […]

The advice arrives in the confident cadence of a physician. Microwaving food in plastic gives you cancer, a spoonful of Coca-Cola mixed with onion will ease your pain, and a supplement called “Hyalethinap Plus Pro Max” will fix your hair, nails, and joints in one go. The doctor delivering it does not exist. A study […]

Shein has finally shown investors the numbers. In a draft prospectus filed on July 26, the fast-fashion retailer disclosed annual revenue of $41.8 billion for 2025, up roughly 8% on the year before, alongside a net profit that fell 38.7% to $2.064 billion. Growth, of a sort, bought at a visibly thinner margin. The document, cleared by […]
