Amazon Leo asked for more time; the FCC said no and added a temporary spectral penalty instead. The 10,400-satellite gap between Starlink and Leo is now the entire trade for investors in private space assets.
The strangest thing to come out of the defence-tech boom is not a flying weapon. It is software that makes the pilot optional. 🎯 Shield AI raised $2 billion at a $12.7 billion valuation, more than doubling its value in a year, to scale Hivemind — an autonomy software layer
Reliance lifted its battery gigafactory target to 120 GWh and anchored the hydrogen side with a $3 billion Samsung C&T ammonia offtake. The bet lives or dies on one gate: 40 GWh going live in the second half of 2026.
OLIX's $312M Series B at a $3.3B valuation fuels DX-1, a decode accelerator that swaps HBM for SRAM and links chips with light. The bet: memory economics, not Nvidia's transistor count. We unpack the round, the design, and what 2028 actually looks like.
Intellia’s lonvo-z cut HAE attacks 87% in Phase 3 and started a rolling FDA filing. The clinical case is strong; the commercial ceiling is the debate.
Astronaut digital twins turn a year of one astronaut's molecular data into a training set for precision medicine on Earth. NASA open data and the first commercial spaceflight biobanks make it usable.
Red Cat's all-stock $21M acquisition of Quaze signals that energy, not autonomy, is the real constraint on drone fleets. Wireless recharging is becoming the power infrastructure of defence robotics.
Solar Foods raised €77.8 million from Business Finland for Factory 02, planned to lift Solein output from 160 to 12,800 tonnes a year. The funding is conditional on a final investment decision and full financing. Two gas-fermentation peers have collapsed. What actually decides the bet.
