🇨🇳 CHINA BUILT A SOLAR EMPIRE ON THE ROOF... OF THE WORLD On the Tibetan Plateau, solar panels stretch farther than the eye can see - covering an area 7x the size of Manhattan. The Talatan Solar Park, plus wind and hydro, now powers everything from trains to AI data centers, while sheep still get to graze under the panels. Qinghai's clean energy is so cheap and efficient, it costs 40% less than coal, and helps China manufacture even more solar tech to sell worldwide. This is how China plans to win the future of energy: high-altitude, high-volume, and high stakes. Source: New York Timesshow more

Iran develops bladeless wind turbines that capture seven times... more energy The new design replaces traditional blades with a magnetic-levitation rotor and an intelligent 360-degree wind-guidance system — capturing wind energy without the need for complex yaw mechanisms. 🔸 Multiple units can be stacked vertically — up to ten on a single tower 🔸 The bladeless design is quieter, more compact, requires less maintenance, and reduces safety risks associated with rotating blades 🔸 The turbine can operate at wind speeds as low as 2.5–3 m/s, making it suitable for areas where traditional turbines struggle 🔸 The system can also be paired with solar panels for hybrid renewable energy setups The technology is now entering the prototype stage.show more

Leaving a cool ocean wake in its path, ~10 degrees lower than it found it. The water cools not just due to heat absorption, but also overturning /upwelling, wind and rain.show more

🇺🇦🇷🇺UKRAINE SAYS A NEW LASER WEAPON COULD ENTER SERVICE... WITHIN MONTHS. Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Andrii Lebedenko says Kyiv expects to field a laser system capable of destroying aerial targets more effectively than machine guns within the next two to three months. The new directed-energy weapon is designed to intercept drones and other airborne threats with far greater precision, speed, and efficiency than conventional gun-based systems. If deployed successfully, the system could significantly strengthen Ukraine’s short-range air defense network, reducing ammunition costs and giving frontline units a powerful new tool against increasingly frequent drone attacks.

🚨The energy crisis triggered by the Persian Gulf conflict... is accelerating the shift to a multipolar world. 🇷🇺🇨🇳Russia and China are building a parallel energy system less dependent on Western finance, shipping, and payments. This accelerates de-dollarization through energy trade in national currencies, energy economist Dr Kazi Sohag told Sputnik. 🔸China is becoming the Global South’s main guarantor of energy security through its dominance in green technologies — solar, batteries, EVs, grids, and storage. 🔸Via the Belt and Road Initiative, China offers complete turnkey solutions — hardware, financing, construction, and rapid deployment — at prices and scale the West cannot match. 🔸Amid global scarcity, Russian oil becomes far more attractive, strengthening their bargaining power with India, China, and other major buyers. This weakens Western sanctions as importers prioritize physical supply over compliance. 🔸The energy crisis exposed Western vulnerability to physical supply shocks and the limits of sanctions, proving that financial power alone cannot guarantee energy security. 🔸As a result, Russia strengthens its role as a key hydrocarbon supplier, while China accelerates its leadership in clean energy. Together, they are speeding up multipolarity by encouraging countries to diversify away from exclusive Western systems.show more

China just took AI infrastructure underwater. The country has... reportedly launched a wind-powered underwater data center near Shanghai, designed to cool AI servers using seawater instead of traditional cooling systems 🌊🤖 Around 2,000 servers are said to be sealed inside submarine-grade modules, helping reduce land use, water consumption, and cooling energy. The project is powered by offshore wind and built for AI workloads, big data, and large-scale computing. Why it matters? AI is creating massive demand for electricity, cooling, and infrastructure. If underwater data centers prove reliable, they could become a new way to scale AI while using less energy. But the challenge is huge: corrosion, maintenance, sea conditions, and long-term reliability still need to be proven.show more

🇮🇱Elbit Systems is developing an airborne high-power laser interception... system as the next generation of air defense following the Iron Beam. The system is planned to be installed on fighter aircraft or helicopters and will be able to intercept incoming missiles and drones outside Israel’s airspace. Compared with ground-based laser systems, it offers greater mobility and the ability to engage targets both above and below cloud cover. The core technology combines multiple fiber lasers into a single high-power laser source, while enabling stable airborne targeting and precise engagement. Its accuracy has been described as “hitting a coin from 10 kilometers away.” Israel aims to eventually establish a squadron of laser-equipped aircraft that could rapidly take off during large-scale attacks and use low-cost laser interceptions to neutralize large numbers of incoming threats. The capability is expected to gradually become operational within the next few years. source:show more
