The largest donor to the United Nations Environment Programme (Unep) has paused funding to the body before its revised budget on 12 May, triggering concern among member states and NGOs.The news could carry significance for the already troubled plastic treaty negotiations being overseen by Unep.

Nio’s battery swapping tech is hotter than ever. The automaker’s customers managed to swap more than 1 million batteries in just a week. Its highest day of swaps during this last sprint was 170,585 batteries—and that wasn’t even its all-time record. EVs might be getting uber-fast at charging, but there’s still one refueling method in China that makes plugging in feel as archaic as feeding your horse some oats. We’re talking about Nio’s battery swapping tech. Pull in, wait about three minutes, and leave with a fully-charged pack. It’s kind of like going to a car wash, but it gives…

Scientists have created a new type of nanoelectronic device that could significantly reduce how much energy artificial intelligence systems consume. The innovation works by copying how the human brain processes information, offering a more efficient alternative to today’s power-hungry AI hardware. The research team, led by the University of Cambridge, developed a modified version of hafnium oxide that functions as a highly stable, low-energy ‘memristor’ — a component designed to replicate how neurons connect and communicate in the brain. Their findings were published in the journal Science Advances. Why Current AI Systems Use So Much Energy Modern AI relies on…

NEW DELHI: Cracks within the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) came out in the open on Monday after some party MLAs, led by senior leader C Ve Shanmugam, submitted a letter to pro tem Speaker M V Karuppaiah seeking the appointment of former minister S P Velumani as the AIADMK legislature party leader.
