Korean researchers develop energy-efficient NPU technology that cuts AI cloud power consumption by 44%

Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed energy-efficient NPU technology that demonstrates substantial performance improvements in laboratory testing.

Their specialised AI chip ran AI models 60% faster while using 44% less electricity than the graphics cards currently powering most AI systems, based on results from controlled experiments.

Mixture-of-Recursions: Learning Dynamic Recursive Depths for Adaptive Token-Level Computation

View recent discussion. Abstract: Scaling language models unlocks impressive capabilities, but the accompanying computational and memory demands make both training and deployment expensive. Existing efficiency efforts typically target either parameter sharing or adaptive computation, leaving open the question of how to attain both simultaneously. We introduce Mixture-of-Recursions (MoR), a unified framework that combines the two axes of efficiency inside a single Recursive Transformer. MoR reuses a shared stack of layers across recursion steps to achieve parameter efficiency, while lightweight routers enable adaptive token-level thinking by dynamically assigning different recursion depths to individual tokens.

New ultra-secure SSD can self-destruct to protect sensitive data

This message will self-destruct in 3… 2… 1 is something you’ve definitely seen in Mission: Impossible films over the years.

Now, we finally have tech that feels just as futuristic, thanks to a new kind of storage hardware.

Taiwanese company TeamGroup has unveiled a new internal SSD that can literally destroy itself at the press of a button, ensuring sensitive data never falls into the wrong hands.

The device, called the P250Q-M80, is aimed at sectors where top-tier data security isn’t just a perk, it’s a necessity. We’re talking defense, industrial automation, AI development, and maybe even the crypto wallet you hold.

TeamGroup showcased the drive at Computex 2025, where it took home a Best Choice Award in the cybersecurity category.

Integration of 3D-printed cerebral cortical tissue into an ex vivo lesioned brain slice

Brain injuries can result in significant damage to the cerebral cortex, and restoring the cellular architecture of the tissue remains challenging. Here, the authors use a droplet printing technique to fabricate a simplified human cerebral cortical column and demonstrate its functionality and potential for future personalized therapy approaches.
