- 1Chinese chip stocks slide as Nvidia approval signals market shift●Chinese chip stocks dropped on the Nvidia approval signal—SMIC down 3.7%, Moore Threads 6.3%, Cambricon 5.7%. ByteDance
Chinese semiconductor stocks fell after signals that Nvidia could regain approval to sell chips in China. SMIC dropped 3.7%, Moore Threads 6.3% and Cambricon 5.7% amid renewed competition concerns. Separately, ByteDance is reportedly considering an order of around one million Nvidia RTX Pro 5500 cards, though the workstation GPU lacks the high-bandwidth memory needed for large-scale AI training runs.
- 2SpaceX Starship prepares for its first orbital flight▼SpaceX’s massive Starship is finally going to orbit — and the effects could be seismic
SpaceX's Starship, the largest rocket ever built, is preparing for its first attempt to reach orbit. The milestone flight has drawn widespread attention because success would mark a major step for space exploration and could significantly lower the cost of reaching space, with potentially far-reaching effects on the industry.

Astronomers report detecting radio waves that may originate from an exoplanet, potentially the first such detection ever made. If confirmed, the signal would suggest the distant planet has a magnetic field, a property never directly observed on a world outside our solar system. The finding is drawing attention from space and astronomy enthusiasts following coverage by major science outlets, with researchers emphasising that further observations are needed to verify the origin of the emission.
