IDC expects the global smartphone market to record a historic contraction in 2026, although Apple's iOS ecosystem is forecast to remain relatively resilient.
Inherent, founded by DeepMind alumni, says its AI ‘teammate’ just outperformed Anthropic and OpenAI at replicating research
Built by DeepMind alumni, British AI lab Inherent released Faraday, an AI agent whose ability to replicate scientific papers could be a stepping stone for innovation.
Australia Passes Law to Levy Tech Giants That Fail to Pay for Local News.
Australia has passed legislation allowing a levy to be imposed on major technology companies that fail to make appropriate commercial arrangements to pay for local news content. The measure is aimed at supporting local journalism and addressing concerns over the growing share of digital advertising revenue captured by technology platforms.

How Gaganyaan's Thermal Protection System Will Survive Re-entry
The thermal protection system will be one of the most critical safety systems in India's Gaganyaan human spaceflight programme. When the crew module returns to Earth, it will enter the atmosphere at extremely high speed, generating intense heat around the spacecraft. A combination of heat-shield materials, spacecraft design, insulation and a carefully controlled re-entry trajectory will help protect the astronauts and the crew module from the extreme thermal environment.
Frontier AI labs still won’t say how they’d contain a rogue model
A new study finds leading AI labs have few publicly documented plans for containing rogue models, raising questions about preparedness as AI systems increasingly demonstrate unexpected and potentially dangerous behavior.
