Apple’s Vision Pro M5 brings meaningful improvements in comfort and performance, but the fundamental challenge remains unchanged. The headset creates magical experiences that users struggle to integrate into daily life, highlighting VR’s persistent isolation problem.
Groundbreaking research in Nature Communications demonstrates why optimizing electric truck routes for minimal carbon footprint represents an NP-hard computational challenge. The findings reveal both the promise and complexity of decarbonizing heavy freight transport.
A commercial-scale thermal battery capable of storing energy at over 1,000°C has begun operations, marking a significant milestone for industrial decarbonization. The system reportedly achieves over 97% efficiency in converting stored electricity to usable heat. However, its application in enhanced oil recovery has drawn mixed reactions from climate analysts.
A massive thermal battery system with 100 megawatt-hours of capacity has become operational, according to recent company announcements. Sources indicate this represents a significant scaling from previous 2 MWh pilot systems and marks the first commercially available unit of its size. The technology uses electricity to heat sturdy materials like bricks to extreme temperatures, storing thermal energy for later industrial use.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), a policy concept first proposed in 1990, has evolved into a global force transforming how products are designed and recycled. By making manufacturers responsible for end-of-life waste management, EPR creates financial incentives for more sustainable product design. The policy approach has expanded from packaging to electronics, batteries, and furniture across Europe and Asia.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), a policy framework that has fundamentally altered waste management systems worldwide, recently passed the three-decade mark since its conceptualization, according to industry reports. The concept emerged in 1990 when Swedish academic Thomas Lindhqvist first proposed and named the approach, sources indicate. Reid Lifset, who collaborated with Lindhqvist shortly after the concept’s introduction, reportedly coined the now-ubiquitous “EPR” acronym, though not the underlying idea itself.

Tesla has established market leadership in the UK’s rapidly growing grid-scale battery sector, with its units generating significantly higher revenue than competitors. The company’s success is reportedly driven by advanced trading algorithms and longer discharge capabilities that capitalize on Britain’s volatile power markets.
Tesla has reportedly built a commanding position in the United Kingdom’s emerging mega battery market, according to industry analysis from battery specialists Modo Energy. The company not only supplies large-scale battery systems but also trades the electricity they generate, creating a dual revenue stream that has proven remarkably effective in Britain’s push to transition away from fossil fuels.
The Future Innovation Tech Expo 2025 in Daegu marks significant expansion with 585 participating companies and a focus on AI-driven industrial transformation.
