TSMC and researchers from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University developed a high‑performance single‑layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) top‑gated transistor, which could help extend transistor scaling beyond Moore’s Law limits. Findings published in Nature Electronics.

Ukrainian President Zelenskiy convened a meeting on Ukraine's ballistic missile development, saying the country currently has the necessary scientific base and expertise and expects to meet planned objectives in 2026-2027.

Per Artificial Analysis, DeepSeek V4 Flash scored 50 on its intelligence index, ranking 3rd of 101 models and about twice the median among open-weight models. Output speed is ~104 tokens/sec; input and output pricing are $0.14 and $0.28 per mln tokens. The report says competition is shifting from peak performance to cost-per-completed-task. Low price, open weights and mln-token context position DeepSeek for batch search, coding assistance and multi-agent calls, and will pressure high-priced closed models to defend premiums via reliability, ecosystem and enterprise services. Caveats: DeepSeek generated ~210 mln tokens during the review—roughly double the peer median—suggesting verbose inference, and benchmarks do not fully capture complex-task success rates; a low token price may not translate into proportional cost savings for all real workloads.
