Diamond Foundry grows record diamond wafer
Diamond Foundry has built the world's first single-crystal diamond wafer measuring 200 mm. Previous production stalled at just a couple of inches because such large natural diamonds do not exist.
This material handles extreme heat better than copper, helping cool powerful microchips for next-generation electronics. 🔥💎

Boston Dynamics turns Atlas robot into a roller
Boston Dynamics replaced Atlas feet with wheels to stress-test electric motors. The robot now performs 360-degree jumps and maneuvers, forcing actuators to work under constant load.
This is not a commercial product. It is a research tool to help engineers refine software, ensuring the standard Atlas handles heavy tasks reliably.

BYD introduces robotic EV charger
BYD demonstrated a robotic charging station in the United Arab Emirates providing 1,000 kW of power. A mechanical arm uses cameras to locate the port, open the lid, and connect the cable automatically.
This system integrates with self-parking vehicles, allowing cars to dock and charge independently. Solar panels and battery storage help manage the high energy load.

Ring launches home and commercial security robots
Amazon-owned Ring is launching Ring Robotics, debuting the $250 indoor Ring Drone Cam and the $1,000 mobile Ring Rover Cam.
Both use AI Pilot tech to map rooms and dodge obstacles autonomously. They provide a flexible security solution that moves through space, replacing the need for multiple fixed cameras for home or business coverage.

Apple Maps to include parking time in ETAs
Apple may soon account for parking and walking time in route estimates. Code in the iOS 27.3 beta tracks how long drivers spend searching for a spot and walking to the final destination.
The system uses location and motion data to refine arrival times, which currently only count driving, causing inaccuracies in busy cities.

UPS battery backups are pulsing the world's power grids
Scientists found that uninterruptible power supplies, which provide backup electricity, have triggered mysterious 60-second pulses across five continents for over a decade.
These devices synchronize clocks over the internet. Because thousands run tests simultaneously, they create a load that strains power grids. Manufacturers can fix this by staggering maintenance checks.

Carney warned about economic coercion. Now Trump is testing the Canadian prime minister
TORONTO (AP) — Mark Carney drew international attention as Canada's prime minister by warning that middle powers must resist economic coercion by more powerful countries. Now President Donald Trump is putting that warning to the test with sweeping new tariffs that could show how much economic pain Canada can absorb.

Lithium-metal batteries charge in 15 minutes
Researchers from KAIST developed a separator enabling lithium-metal batteries to reach a full charge in 15 minutes. This tech significantly boosts energy density.
The material guides ions through straight channels, preventing short circuits from metallic needles called dendrites. This design allows the battery to maintain 94% of its capacity after 100 rapid charging cycles.

Amazon’s drone delivery expands in the UK
Amazon is the first operator to receive SAIL 4 authorization from the UK Civil Aviation Authority. This lets drones fly over more densely populated areas in Darlington, England.
The upgrade reaches 8,000 households, up from previous limits. This high-level safety approval confirms the MK30 drone’s reliability in busier neighborhoods.

United Airlines blocks AI agents from booking
United Airlines is banning AI agents from booking tickets due to privacy and regulatory concerns. The airline fears bots might bypass federal safety disclosures. This policy covers all automated booking systems.
Federal rules require passengers to personally attest that bags contain no explosives, a safety step AI cannot reliably perform.

Caltech robot builds structures in space
Researchers from Caltech tested the ASTRA autonomous robot in microgravity. Launched on 30 March 2026 aboard a SpaceX-carried Vigoride 7, the machine assembled an antenna module.
This bypasses payload volume constraints of standard rocket fairings. Instead of folding massive equipment, it allows for building large-scale structures directly in orbit.
