Ukraine's president ZELENSKIY said Ukraine relies on Starlink to intercept Russian drones.

Lee Wang-seop, head of equity investments and portfolio manager at Hana Asset Management, said the AI upcycle will extend beyond semiconductors and that capacitor manufacturers and AI-substrate producers are likely to benefit next year. He is also constructive on renewables and energy-storage firms, expects continued growth in data-centre service demand, and has broadened allocations from pure semiconductors into other AI supply-chain segments. Lee expects that on a market rebound, semiconductor materials, parts and equipment stocks will outperform large memory-chip makers, and forecasts next-year net-profit growth in several sectors to exceed the KOSPI constituents’ aggregate rate.

A team led by CAS academician Yu Dapeng at the Shenzhen International Quantum Research Institute (Tan Dian group), together with researchers from the University of Stuttgart, experimentally prepared and transmitted genuine multipartite entangled phonon states on a scalable two-dimensional hybrid quantum‑chip platform. The results were published in Science on the 16th (Beijing time).
