On Oct. 31 at the opening plenary of the 2026 World Top Scientists Forum, CATL chairman and founder Zeng Yuqun said existing battery energy density is "not yet sufficient" to support wider applications and that the industry must leverage AI and global scientific expertise to accelerate source innovation in electrochemistry. He said battery systems span femtosecond-to-decade timescales and atomic-scale dimensions. CATL is deploying large language models and an in-house AI-native research platform

RIA on Oct. 30 quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying preparations for Russia–U.S.–Ukraine trilateral talks are underway but do not constitute a Russian pledge to limit military operations. Peskov said Moscow opposes ceasefires that would give Ukraine a “breathing space,” is retaliating for Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries but will not raise that issue in talks, and that the aim of the special military operation is to deprive Ukraine of the ability to carry out attacks. Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said on Oct. 30 the talks, mediated by the U.S., are planned and could take place in mid‑November in Abu Dhabi.
