Chinese battery giant CATL and automaker Changan Automobile are preparing to put the world's first passenger car powered by sodium-ion batteries on public roads by mid-2026. And if the launch is successful, it could usher in an era where electric vehicles present less of a fire risk and can better handle extreme temperatures.

Меня зовут Владислав Пономарев, я архитектор, проектирую дома. Ещё в магистратуре, 10 лет назад я занимался BIM-внедрением в проектной организации в Сочи. Это были Revit, Civil 3D и другие инструменты. Делал это в рамках своей темы магистерской работы. Потом переключился на архитектуру в частном домостроительстве, где больше изучал практические вопросы проектирования и философию архитектуры, ее эстетические качества. Но любовь к более сложному BIM осталась. С энтузиазмом продвигал тему BIM, когда... Read more ›

Последние годы Python был вроде универсального инструмента: на нем писали всё — от мелких скриптов до огромных ML-систем, а его первое место в рейтингах воспринималось как норма. Но к началу 2026-го заметно, что динамика меняется. Скорее всего — вслед за приоритетами. Уходит время, когда удобство и низкий порог входа перекрывали любые вопросы к производительности. Компании всё чаще смотрят на отдачу — сколько ресурсов съедает система и как ведет себя под... Read more ›

Сидя в гостиной родительского дома в Нью-Йорке, 14-летний Майлз Ву удивлялся тому, что простой лист бумаги, сложенный по схеме Миура-ори, может выдержать вес, в 10 000 раз превышающий его собственный. В течение более чем 250 часов Ву усердно разрабатывал, складывал и тестировал множество вариантов этой техники — серию мозаичных параллелограммов, которые можно сложить или разложить одним движением, — чтобы найти тот, который можно было бы использовать для создания развёртываемых укрытий...

Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing archaeon sometimes reads it as a green light—adding an unusual amino acid and continuing to build the protein. The result is a kind of genetic coin flip: two different proteins can emerge from the same code, influenced partly by... Read more ›

A software engineer tried steering his robot vacuum with a videogame controller, reports Popular Science — but ended up with "a sneak peak into thousands of people's homes." While building his own remote-control app, Sammy Azdoufal reportedly used an AI coding assistant to help reverse-engineer how the robot communicated with DJI's remote cloud servers. But he soon discovered that the same credentials that allowed him to see and control his... Read more ›

Lockheed Martin's F-35 combat aircraft is a supersonic stealth "strike fighter." But this week the military news site TWZ reports that the fighter's "computer brain," including "its cloud-based components, could be cracked to accept third-party software updates, just like 'jailbreaking' a cellphone, according to the Dutch State Secretary for Defense."

IBM shares plunged nearly 13% on Monday after Anthropic published a blog post arguing that its Claude Code tool could automate much of the complex analysis work involved in modernizing COBOL, the decades-old programming language that still underpins an estimated 95% of ATM transactions in the United States and runs on the kind of mainframe systems IBM has sold for generations. Anthropic said the shrinking pool of developers who understand... Read more ›

Google and Microsoft contributed $5 million to launch Alpha-Omega in 2022 — a Linux Foundation project to help secure the open source supply chain. But its co-founder Michael Winser warns that open source registries are in financial peril, reports The Register, since they're still relying on non-continuous funding from grants and donations. And it's not just because bandwidth is expensive, he said at this year's FOSDEM. "The problem is they... Read more ›
