Rheinmetall and shipping giant MSC have won a €138m bid for Romania's Mangalia shipyard.
The plan is to build commercial and military vessels at the same site. This is a concrete move to expand European defence manufacturing.
A Dutch company has developed smart glass that darkens by moving pigment particles.
eLstar says it switches in seconds and blocks up to 85% of solar heat.
It's now commercially available for architectural glazing, but field performance remains to be seen.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to Chancellor Merz:
I've also heard you say that you want to find that balance between innovation and regulation.
There's nothing to regulate if the industry doesn't thrive.
Siemens is training factory inspection AI on circuit boards that don't exist yet.
At its Erlangen plant, digital twins generate realistic PCB images before physical prototypes arrive.
Siemens says this cuts engineering effort by up to 85%.

Jensen Huang in London, asked what’s holding back AI in the UK. Chips: “easy to solve, because we have it.” Infrastructure: being built. Energy: “very challenging in the UK. We got to solve that. Without energy, there’s no industry. Without industry, there’s no economic prosperity.”
He’s right. AI is a manufacturing industry. Energy goes in, tokens come out. You can have every scientist in the world (and the UK has a lot of them, DeepMind is here for a reason) but if the power isn’t there, nothing gets built on top. This is why we decided to build Fuse in the UK as our first market. The UK has some of the most expensive electricity in the developed world, and that cost sits under every industry we want to build here, AI included. Cheap, abundant power is not an energy sector problem. It is the growth problem.
Warmtenets are a thing - you can use waste heat from factories too, and I think there's regs pushing more of them. :)
