Tech that just got out.Explained so a 12-year-old gets it, checked against the original paper, then turned into business ideas you can test this week.

Nine of 16 real satellite fleets sit above the size at which their own wreckage keeps growing. Insurers and small operators need that answer on one page, and nobody is selling it to them.

A chip design claims 19 times the AI work per watt of an H100, and it draws as little as 122 milliwatts. Power, not speed, is the limit for AI on small devices, and that is a business.

A model of 16 real satellite fleets found nine of them exceed the size at which their own wreckage keeps growing. Six of those nine cross the worst line, the runaway one.

A 28nm edge chip design for DeepSeek reports 109.4 TFLOPS per watt, which the authors put at 19.35 times an H100 at FP8. No chip was built, so the figures come from design tools.

A survey of AI agents for 5G and 6G finds a clock gap. Fast network control loops close in 10 milliseconds to 1 second, while a large model needs 200 milliseconds to several seconds to answer.

An explanation setup scored a perfect 1.000 for steadiness while scoring 0.0502 for truthfulness. It looked steady only because it barely changed between different photos.

A US workshop of 47 experts named 12 technical challenges standing between today's drones and fleets that work like national infrastructure. It is a vision report with no experiment.

In a computer model, 24 shoebox satellites stuck to a dead 668 kg craft turned it 180 degrees in 1,228 seconds. The worst pointing error was 0.6 degrees.
Research Radar/Internet of Things/Switzerland
ETH Zurich built a sensor the size of a matchbox that watches all day, wakes only when something moves, names what it sees, and radios the answer. It runs for three months on a battery smaller than a phone's.
Research Radar/Quantum computing/USA · United Kingdom
Quantinuum ran a complete error-correction design on its Helios machine, not just a memory test. The protected version made fewer mistakes than the bare hardware in every test, and no bad runs were thrown away.
