cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-16 07:48:00

Huawei's second-generation trifold phone, the Mate XTs, is now available, just shy of a year after the company's first trifold phone was released in September 2024. The trifold phone isn't much different from the Mate XT, but two big upgrades take the spotlight. The Mate XTs let you use a stylus on the phone's folding screen and comes in purple, red, black or white. It runs on HarmonyOS 5.1, which Huawei calls a "PC-level" experience, and has a new M-Pen 3 stylus. "In the free multiwindow mode

TED leader’s $300M ‘valley of death’ fund might be just what later-stage climate tech needs

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-10-16 12:42:26

Like many startups, climate tech companies often face a “valley of death” that lies between early stage funding and growth capital that helps proven technologies reach commercial scale. But because climate tech startups are often hardware focused — physical problems tend to require physical solutions, after all — this valley of death tends to be a lot wider. Financing a first-of-a-kind power plant or factory can cost tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, a new fund hopes to bridge this

“Mockery of science”: Climate scientists tear into new US climate report

More than 85 climate scientists declared the Department of Energy’s new climate report unfit for policymaking in a comprehensive review released Tuesday. The DOE’s report cherry-picked evidence, lacked peer-reviewed studies to support its questioning of the detrimental effects of climate change in the US and is “fundamentally incorrect,” the authors concluded.

Get closer, though, and you’ll find not a simple cap of frozen water, but an extraordinarily complex interplay between the ocean, sea ice, and ice sheets and shelves. That relationship is in serious peril. A new paper in the journal Nature catalogs how several “abrupt changes,” like the precipitous loss of sea ice over the last dec
