Recently, a surgeon based in London accomplished a procedure that seems straight out of science fiction: operating a surgical robot located at a hospital in Gibraltar—a staggering distance of approximately 1,500 miles away—right from his station in London. His mission? To perform a prostatectomy, removing a cancerous prostate gland from a male patient. This groundbreaking feat has catapulted the London clinic into the history books as the first hospital in the UK to successfully carry out a remote robot-assisted surgery.

Over the past couple of years, smartphone battery capacities have surged, with 7,000–8,000mAh becoming the new norm and even 10,000mAh models hitting the market. In contrast, laptop battery capacity has seen only incremental improvements. This disparity can be attributed to two key factors:

First, the rapid evolution of smartphone capabilities and rising user expectations have spurred swift advancements in battery technology. Innovations like silicon-carbon anode batteries have allowed smartphones to pack in larger capacities without sacrificing sleek designs.

Second, laptop batteries are constrained by civil aviation regulations, which prohibit carrying batteries exceeding 100Wh on flights. Consequently, the maximum battery capacity for gaming laptops is capped at 99.9Wh, while ultrabooks prioritize striking a balance between portability and battery longevity. Moreover, the integration of cutting-edge battery technologies in laptops typically lags behind that in smartphones, as manufacturers tend to adopt these innovations only after supply chain technologies have matured and costs have declined.

Zheng Shanjie, the esteemed Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, underscored at the economic-themed press conference during the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress that, within the framework of the 15th Five-Year Plan, a suite of groundbreaking future industry projects—including ultra-large-scale AI computing clusters, satellite internet infrastructure, and controllable nuclear fusion technology—will be vigorously propelled forward to spearhead the trajectory of future development.

On March 6th, the Civil Aviation Administration of China released a notice outlining regulations concerning the network-based operational identification of civil unmanned aircraft systems. According to the notice, information will be collected and processed via the Unmanned Aircraft System Operation Management Platform (UOM). From May 1st, 2026, onward, all manufacturers of civil drones are mandated to equip their products with operational identification transmission capabilities that adhere to the GB46750-2025 standard. This operational identification information will be automatically and continuously sent from the drones to the UOM, with no option to disable this function. For drones already sold, manufacturers are responsible for upgrading them to meet these new requirements.

On the 5th, Chen Libai, Chairman of Adata, revealed that the inventory levels of the three leading DRAM memory manufacturers have edged close to the warning threshold, with stockpiles sufficient for only 3 to 5 weeks of operation. Presently, the memory market is undergoing a “super cycle,” propelled by a spike in demand for AI data center construction and enterprise-level storage solutions, resulting in a supply deficit. As a consequence, NAND flash memory prices have surged, and it is projected that the shipment prices of the three major manufacturers will climb by an additional 40% in the second quarter of 2026. Numerous large cloud service providers and other clients are now in the process of negotiating long-term memory contracts, and even some companies that have not previously partnered with Adata are seeking a stable supply. Adata initiated early stockpiling efforts from September 2025 and anticipates its inventory to reach NTD 35 billion (approximately RMB 7.731 billion) by the end of March this year, ensuring an ample supply of low-priced inventory.
