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…

Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. One of our team members mentioned yesterday that BYD beat Tesla in BEV sales last quarter, and that we should have an article about it. I did publish such comparisons in the past, so it was definitely on me to get a new one out now. (To be honest, I just forgot about doing these comparisons, and it’s been a year since I’ve done one, so this is a big update that goes much further back than last quarter.) First things first, we’re looking at full battery electric vehicle sales.…

TXOne Networks has introduced Virtual Portable Inspector, a software-based OT inspection tool designed for industrial environments where physical inspection is difficult to scale.The product extends TXOne’s Element inspection portfolio into connected and distributed OT environments, including sites spread across multiple locations, assets without accessible USB interfaces or HMIs, and facilities where on-site inspection adds deployment overhead.Software-based inspection for distributed OT sitesTXOne said Virtual Portable Inspector is designed for connected and distributed OT environments, including geographically distributed sites and assets that are difficult to inspect physically.TXOne said OT inspection commonly takes place during scheduled maintenance windows, manual checks, or physical access…

Ryan Haines / Android AuthorityMost people are no longer upgrading their Android phones every two years. It’s now the norm for consumers to replace their devices every three or four years. It also doesn’t hurt that carriers have embraced 36-month or even 48-month contracts.As such, I totally understand if you’re buying a phone with the intention of keeping it for three or more years. But before you put your money down or sign that contract, I’ve got some tips to keep in mind if you want to buy a phone that will last for years and years. What’s the best…
