#EXCLUSIVE | LRDE, Bengaluru, is advancing Low-Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) transmit-receive tile technology through an initiative focused on high integration, miniaturisation and efficient cooling.
The effort covers LTCC tiles with integrated cooling channels, connectorized LTCC antennas and integrated tile-antenna configurations. An 8×8 tile architecture, dedicated test equipment and liquid cooling are part of the development. Testing includes RF performance, antenna pattern measurement, thermal evaluation, random vibration, thermal cycling and power burn-in.
The technology can support future electronically scanned antenna architectures, where compact T/R tiles enable dense RF integration, electronic beam steering and improved thermal management for advanced radar applications and defence systems.

Two Distinct Modular Approaches
> Modularization based on business scenarios: Blue Worm modularizes the humanoid robot into various robot types, ranging from humanoids to AMRs.
> Modularization for ease of maintenance: O-ID modularizes components to construct the humanoid robot, allowing maintenance to be performed on-site without returning the unit to the factory.
They all share a common characteristic--low-cost deployment and application.

Humanoid robots are going modular.
Japan-based O-ID has introduced Modular, a practical humanoid robot with a wheeled base, designed to fit into existing industrial environments（manufacturing,logistics,inspection）
Interestingly, the modular architecture may matter more than the specs. The robot is divided into nine replaceable modules, so a faulty arm, hand or other component can be swapped on-site instead of sending the entire robot back for repair.
It stands 172 cm tall, weighs 70 kg, has 30 DoF and a 16 kg payload. The omnidirectional base is designed for factories, warehouses and inspection work. It runs Linux/ROS, while customers can choose their own AI models rather than being locked into a single system.
According to Nikkei, 85% of the robot’s components by weight are made in Japan.O-ID has also signed a letter of intent with Sumitomo Electric Industries to explore the potential use of its technologies in wire harnesses for humanoid robots.
O-ID plans to start selling Modular in Japan in 2027, at around $70,000.

America had 16 copper smelters in 1976. Today it has only two. We still mine a million tonnes of copper a year, but a third of it leaves the country for refining. Last year we imported twice the refined copper we made.
China floods the market with refining capacity, so refining pays almost nothing anywhere else. That's a hard problem to solve. Smelters mostly stay open by selling byproducts, and some only with government support.
@nrg91720 might have found a way around that. His startup, Determinant Materials, says it can skip the smelter by sorting ground-up ore with flowing liquid, in small refineries at the mine. We do the same at Solugen, where we make smaller versions of chemical plants that sit next to our customers.
If Nikhil pulls it off, the US could again own its copper refining.
He explains how in this interview with @jrwolfe:

The Last American Refinery.
Built for energy.
Built for defense.
Built for the reset.
No more theories. No more slides. No more China.

The fastest-growing part of a distributor is the part that isn't distribution.
At TD Synnex (@TDSYNNEX, NYSE: $SNX) the business that designs and builds infrastructure for hyperscalers grew more than 4x faster than distribution last quarter. It's gone from roughly a seventh of the company's billings to nearly a quarter in a year.
Inside distribution, the same story. The data center side grew more than twice as fast as the PC side.
And here's the trade. That fastest-growing business more than doubled its billings while its gross profit grew less than half as much.
Bigger volume, thinner take.
That's what an infrastructure boom does to the middle of a supply chain. More moves through you, and less of it stays.
The AI boom isn't just volume passing through existing businesses. It's changing what those businesses actually do.

the new IFR report is out, so I prepared some insights to present the state of robotics in 2025:
→ 5M robots at work. The global operating stock rose 9% to a record 5 million, more than double the count 7 years ago.
→ Record installations. More than 600,000 new robots were installed in 2025, up 11% year over year.
→ China installed more than the rest of the world combined. It added 354,000 units (+20%), which is 59% of all global installs.
→ Chinese vendors lost some share at home. They sold 195,000 units (+15%), but their domestic share dipped from 57% to 55% because the market grew faster than they did.
→ The US is now #2. Installs rose 12% to about 38,500, overtaking Japan, which fell 19% to 36,219.
→ India is scaling fast. About 10,500 units (+15%) and a 27% CAGR since 2020 put it at #6 worldwide.
→ Brazil was the surprise of the year. Installs rose 38%, and automotive installs jumped 212%, driven by Chinese carmakers building plants there.
→ Mexico keeps shrinking. Installs fell 7% to under 5,200, the third straight year of decline despite the nearshoring hype.
→ Europe is stalling. Germany fell 8%, Italy 11%, France 8% and Spain 15%. Germany still accounts for 41% of EU installs.
what's your biggest surprise?

Microsoft has used a US court order to take down EvilTokens, a $ 500-a-month phishing service linked to more than 12,000 compromised inboxes at over 10,000 organisations.
Its AI chatbot combed victims' email for wire-transfer threads, vendor invoices, each target's "money movers" and the best people to impersonate.
UK police arrested two men, aged 32 and 38, in connection with the service. Both were released on bail.

$KEEL — hard not to like the progress at Grant Node in Moses Lake. Recent aerials show some serious dirt moving and heavy civil work underway. Add in the FAA crane filings, active construction stormwater coverage, PowerSecure project work and now hiring for a Grant Node Site Director, and the pieces are starting to come together.
Still plenty to execute, but this is what I want to see: milestones turning into work on the ground.
Credit where it’s due @CaptainKeel 🫡and @keelinfra_ team appear to be moving this project forward with purpose.
Now watching for foundations → cranes/vertical construction → power milestones over the coming months.
Execution > hype. ⚓️ $KEEL

AI is getting faster.
But there’s a problem most people don’t think about:
As AI clusters grow, moving enormous amounts of data between chips is becoming one of the biggest challenges in scaling AI.
NEW BREAKTHROUGH IS EMERGING NOW:
Lessengers just unveiled a 3.2 Tbps glass-substrate Near-Packaged Optics (NPO) architecture designed for next generation AI networks.
Lessengers says its new architecture can deliver up to 50% lower power consumption, while targeting future 51.2T and 102.4T switches.👀
The system is also designed for immersion cooling, with optical pathways integrated directly into the glass substrate.
And this is exactly where the next era of AI infrastructure gets interesting:
More AI compute
↓
More data needs to move
↓
More bandwidth
↓
Electricity becomes harder to scale
↓
Optics moves closer to the chip
↓
Faster, denser and potentially more efficient AI networks
I love these kinds of breakthroughs because they show what’s happening underneath the AI boom.
