Huawei Says It Has Workaround to Match Leading Chips (4 minute read)
Huawei expects to be able to make chips on par with leading products manufactured by Intel and other top global companies by 2031. It has developed a technique that can create chips that match the transistor density of those manufactured with a 1.4-nanometer process. The US has restricted China's access to advanced semiconductor technologies since 2022. Huawei's technology could remove this obstacle for China in its tech rivalry with the US.

Japan's New Hypersonic Engine Could Make 2-Hour Flights To The US A Reality (4 minute read)
A team of engineers from Japan's Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and several Japanese universities has completed a successful ground combustion trial of a ramjet engine designed for a Mach-5 hypersonic aircraft. The test simulated a flight at five times the speed of sound. It was focused on validating the aircraft's heat-shielding, control surfaces, and engine performance under extreme conditions. The project's goal is commercial hypersonic passenger service by the 2040s.

A terminal is all you need for web agents (Website)
Microsoft Webwright is a simple SWE-style browser agent framework that achieves state-of-the-art results on long-horizon web tasks. It gives agents a terminal that allows them to launch multiple browser sessions to inspect pages and complete web tasks. Webwright captures and inspects screenshots only when needed, and it enforces each web task to be completed end-to-end within a re-runnable Python script. It uses a small harness that adds just enough structure around completion, context, and reuse to avoid creating new failure modes.
