The numbers forecast for data center investment are the kind that stop a conversation before it starts. Capital spending on AI infrastructure is on track to surpass $1 trillion as soon as 2027 — the largest infrastructure buildout in U.S. history as a share of GDP since the Louisiana Purchase — and now exceeds annual investment in upstream oil and gas. Spending of this magnitude locks in assets for 20, 30, even 50 years. The window to shape these assets is narrow and closing. That was the premise behind the Sustainable AI Infrastructure Forum, a half-day, invitation-only working session we…

Posted by Tibian Elsheikh, Product Manager, Android Core Graphics and Jeffrey Jose, Product Manager, Android Core GraphicsWe’ve all been there: You’re scrolling through your favorite social media feed in a dim room, and suddenly an HDR video pops up. It’s so intensely bright that you have to squint, or maybe you find yourself turning down your screen brightness just to read the caption. Other times, a video that looks vibrant on your phone looks flat, dark, or washed out when you watch it on your living room TV. While High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology was designed to make videos look richer…

Part of the SD Times 100 2026 series. See the full SD Times 100 2026 list for every category and honoree. For most of software development’s history, engineering leaders have had remarkably poor visibility into the thing they’re actually responsible for managing: how engineering work actually flows, where it gets stuck, and whether investments in tooling, process, or headcount are paying off. Software Engineering Intelligence (SEI) exists to close that gap, turning the exhaust data already generated by version control, project management, and CI/CD systems into genuine insight about engineering performance, health, and risk. The companies recognized in this year’s…

Water has been studied more than almost any other substance, yet scientists have long debated a surprisingly simple question: What happens to its chemistry when it is squeezed into spaces only a few molecules wide? Those tiny spaces exist throughout nature and technology, including nanoscale pores, membranes, and biological channels. A new study has now found that the answer is more nuanced than researchers once believed, helping resolve years of conflicting results. Why Water Splitting Matters One of water’s defining chemical properties is its ability to split into two charged particles: H3O+ (the hydronium ion) and OH- (the hydroxide ion).…

Dublin based integrated photonics firm, Pilot Photonics, have been approved for a recommended investment of up to €10.4m from the Horizon Europe European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator. A major transition from electronics to photonics is on the way, with more devices taking up light-based circuits in lieu of the traditional electronic circuits. These photonic circuits are more power efficient, allow higher bandwidth signal processing, and enable completely new applications which are otherwise impossible. Pilot Photonics has developed patented photonic chip technology that uses laser light to generate exceptionally pure wireless signals, essential for AI data centres, satellite communications, 5G and…

Nevada’s highest court has declined to pause a preliminary injunction against Kalshi as the company continues its appeal in a dispute over Nevada’s gaming laws. In the same order, the court also approved requests from two out-of-state attorneys to participate in the case on behalf of the Nevada Gaming Control Board. The July 1, 2026, order denied KalshiEX’s emergency motion seeking a stay of the district court’s preliminary injunction while the appeal is pending before the Nevada Supreme Court. That means the injunction remains in effect as the legal fight continues. NEW: Kalshi loses Hail-Mary bid to avoid geofencing in…

Chinese officials are hastily rewriting the rules for their burgeoning low-altitude economy following the crash of a light plane into Beijing’s tallest building. All general and recreational aviation, including paragliding and gliding, was grounded in the wake of the incident in the late afternoon of June 26. Some of these restrictions have since been lifted, but few details have been made public, with the government imposing a news blackout that is strict even by China standards.The aircraft pilot, surnamed Liu, was the only fatality from the collision with the 528-meter high Citic Tower, according to reports. Another 13 people were injured and a fire…

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said today it worked with industry partners to seize hundreds of domains associated with NetNut, a sprawling residential proxy service operated by the publicly-traded Israeli company Alarum Technologies [NASDAQ: ALAR]. The action comes roughly two weeks after KrebsOnSecurity published findings from multiple security firms connecting NetNut to the Popa botnet, a collection of at least two million devices that have been compromised by malicious software with little or no consent from victims. The NetNut homepage today was replaced by this seizure banner from the FBI. On June 19, three different security firms issued similar…
