In 2025, battery technology is undergoing a transformative shift. Researchers and startups are increasingly focusing not just on capacity and charge speed, but on sustainability, safety, and eco-compatibility. One example is Flint, a Singapore-based company that unveiled paper batteries at CES 2025. These batteries use a hydrogel ring embedded in paper which acts both as…
Saudi Arabia has unveiled HUMAIN Chat, a pioneering Arabic-language conversational AI developed entirely within the Kingdom. Powered by the ALLAM 34B large language model, this platform is tailored to understand and generate responses in Arabic, addressing linguistic nuances and cultural contexts specific to Arabic speakers. Supported by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), HUMAIN Chat represents…
In real-world settings—from smart factories to hospital corridors—users report witnessing agentic AI robots making independent decisions without human prompts. Workers describe how these systems autonomously adjust schedules, reroute material flows, or deliver supplies using multi-modal vision and self-learning policies. These first-hand accounts highlight the Experience layer of how seamless automation is transforming daily operations and…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, are reshaping wilderness search‑and‑rescue (WiSAR) by offering unmatched aerial coverage, speed, and safety. Rather than relying solely on ground teams trudging through difficult terrain, drone swarms can scan vast areas rapidly, supplying real-time thermal imaging and situational data to search coordinators. This bird’s‑eye perspective enhances efficiency and reduces risk…
As we enter a new era of digital innovation, the concept of a quantum internet is quickly gaining momentum. Unlike traditional internet infrastructure, which relies on classical bits, quantum internet uses quantum bits—or qubits—to transmit information. This shift holds the promise of nearly unhackable communication, thanks to the unique principles of quantum mechanics, such as…
alongxp.com – As climate change intensifies, green technology is driving a sustainable revolution in 2025. Innovations across energy, transport, and waste management are reshaping our planet’s future. Solar Advancements: Next-gen perovskite solar cells, with efficiencies nearing 30%, are making solar power cheaper and more accessible. Floating solar farms, like Singapore’s, maximize space and energy output….
In the ever-evolving world of innovation, smart fabrics are emerging as a transformative force in wearable technology. Unlike traditional wearables like smartwatches or fitness bands, smart textiles integrate sensors, conductive threads, and microprocessors directly into the fabric itself. This allows clothing to monitor biometric data such as heart rate, temperature, hydration, posture, and even stress…
As the world becomes increasingly digital, biometric payment systems are revolutionizing how we make purchases—offering speed, security, and convenience in one seamless experience. From fingerprint scans to facial recognition and even palm vein authentication, biometric technology is quickly replacing traditional PINs and cards. Major retailers and fintech companies are investing heavily in biometric infrastructure, citing…
As quantum computing rapidly advances, it poses a serious threat to traditional encryption methods that secure everything from bank transactions to national defense systems. Quantum-safe encryption, also known as post-quantum cryptography, is the proactive development of cryptographic algorithms that can withstand attacks from quantum computers. Unlike current encryption techniques that rely on factoring large numbers…
Smart dust, a term once confined to science fiction, is becoming a reality in modern tech innovation. These are tiny microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) that include sensors, communication tools, and power supplies—small enough to float in the air. Designed to detect everything from environmental changes to structural stress in buildings, smart dust has the potential to…
