A bipartisan group of United States lawmakers has raised national security concerns about testing activities linked to chipmaking equipment at Intel. The group includes Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren and Republican Senator Tom Cotton. Reuters first reported the concerns on Wednesday. Lawmakers question testing of ACM equipment Lawmakers focused on equipment produced by ACM Research. The company operates from Fremont in California. However, it also maintains deep operational ties with China. In addition, two overseas ACM units have faced United States sanctions. Because of this background, lawmakers raised alarms about potential exposure to sensitive semiconductor technology. ACM supplies chipmaking tools to…
Russia’s space agency confirmed on Tuesday that engineers have completed repairs at a damaged launch pad at the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, according to Russian state media. The site plays a critical role in Moscow’s space programme. The launch pad sustained heavy damage in November. A Soyuz MS 28 spacecraft carrying two Russian cosmonauts and one NASA astronaut had blasted off from the facility at the time. The force of the launch left the structure in need of urgent restoration. RIA state news agency cited Roscosmos as confirming that operations will resume shortly. The first launch from the restored pad…
Space has become a contested war zone that demands military dominance across every orbit, the chief executive of SES said on Monday, as the satellite operator’s shares rose 4 percent following its annual results. The gain reflected a wider rally in Europe’s defence linked stocks amid an escalating conflict in the Middle East. Investors have increasingly turned their attention to space based missile defence systems. Analysts at Citi noted that interest in initiatives such as US President Donald Trump’s Golden Dome plan will likely intensify as the conflict expands. Consequently, companies with exposure to orbital infrastructure have drawn renewed scrutiny.…
A wave of cyber-enabled operations unfolded early on Saturday alongside a joint U.S.-Israeli attack on targets across Iran, cybersecurity experts and observers said. Disruptions Accompany Military Strikes The operations targeted multiple news websites, which hackers altered to display a range of messages. In addition, attackers breached BadeSaba, a religious calendar application with more than five million downloads. The app showed messages telling users, “It’s time for reckoning,” and urged armed forces to lay down their weapons and join the people. However, Reuters could not reach BadeSaba’s chief executive for comment. Likewise, a spokesperson for U.S. Cyber Command did not immediately…

An AI productivity boom, if it materialises, could give major economies more time to repair strained public finances. However, economists caution that it will not resolve deep fiscal pressures on its own. Debt already exceeds 100 percent of output across most advanced economies. Moreover, projections show it rising further as ageing populations increase costs. At the same time, governments face mounting interest bills and pressure to spend more on defence and climate measures. AI Productivity Boom And Public Finances Policymakers in the United States have expressed optimism about AI driven growth. Economists argue that the technology could lift the world…
DeepSeek, the Chinese artificial intelligence laboratory whose low cost model unsettled global markets last year, has not shared its upcoming flagship system with United States chipmakers for performance optimisation, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The move marks a departure from standard industry practice ahead of a major model release. Typically, developers provide early access to key hardware partners to fine tune performance before launch. However, DeepSeek has taken a different path as it prepares its next major update. Break From Industry Practice DeepSeek is expected to launch its new model, known as V4, in the near future.…
