esVolta closed $139.6 million for its 150 MW / 300 MWh Boxcar battery project in Wylie, Texas, with a corporate offtake already in place, extending the case that standalone storage in ERCOT is maturing into repeatable infrastructure finance.
A new Communications Physics result from ISTA shows a 1-milligram torsional pendulum cooled to 240 microkelvins, giving future quantum-gravity experiments a more credible precision-hardware base.
Proxima disclosed a four-party MoU with RWE, Bavaria, and IPP plus a 12-member Alpha Alliance, framing a commercialization push backed by announced public funding envelopes through 2030.
Rakuten Mobile disclosed selection for a JAXA Space Strategy Fund R&D theme on satellite-terrestrial frequency sharing, adding a multi-year funded program to Japan's accelerating direct-to-cell race.
A new IPP-led preprint reports an ~800,000-configuration quasi-isodynamic stellarator atlas designed to accelerate early-stage reactor optimization and screening.
A December 2025 FCC NPRM and January 2026 FAA proposed AD set a coordinated timetable for opening 3.98-4.2 GHz while requiring fleet altimeter hardening before January 1, 2028.
Space Force ended the Resilient GPS smallsat layer after Phase 0, and the FY26 budget request did not fund the next phase, halting on-orbit demonstrations.
EAST shows density limits can be lifted with start-up control, while W7-X proves long pulses are possible with continuous fueling. Investors should track the enabling stack that makes both possible.
Reported density range above the Greenwald limit (preprint).
Typical EAST density range before the new method.
Temperature scale for optimal D-T fusion (about 150M K).
