  • Tesla Cybertruck chief Siddhant Awasthi exits after eight years
    November 10, 2025, 8:24 AM EST. Tesla's head of the Cybertruck program, Siddhant Awasthi, is leaving the company after more than eight years. Awasthi, who began as an intern, has steered the Cybertruck from its engineering phase to large-scale production, leading product strategy, quality, and supply chain efforts and also taking charge of the Model 3 program since July. His departure follows Tesla's record Q3 deliveries, driven by demand for a tax credit that expired on Sept. 30; analysts foresee a fourth-quarter slowdown as incentives end. The Cybertruck has faced headwinds, with discounts on inventory and a March recall filing showing about 46,096 units produced since the vehicle's November 2023 launch.
  • UK backs Altilium to scale EV battery cells from recycled materials
    November 10, 2025, 8:22 AM EST. UK government funding will back Altilium to demonstrate sustainable production of EV battery cells from recycled materials. With support from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and Innovate UK, Altilium will scale its EcoAnode and EcoCathode recycling technologies to deliver anode and cathode materials from end-of-life batteries. The company has already produced CAM-containing cells at the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre and is expanding with an at-scale recycling facility in Plymouth. Altilium says it is the only UK producer of domestic, battery-ready CAM recovered from end-of-life EV batteries. The piece notes a European JV between CNGR Advanced Material and revomet and highlights the broader growth of the advanced battery-recycling sector in the US, where billions have been invested despite China's current capacity dominance.
  • Stay cool in winter: How winter sports enthusiasts can protect their wearables
    November 10, 2025, 8:20 AM EST. Winter sports push smart devices to their limits. In cold, moisture and wind threaten wearables like smartwatches and phones, with the battery usually taking the first hit when the temperature drops. A common mistake is storing devices outside clothing; keeping them in the jacket's inner pocket shields them from cold, moisture, and impact. Practical tips: avoid letting the battery fully discharge and don't keep charging above about 80%, as many devices auto-limit to extend life. If a gadget sits unused for months, a monthly top-up can prevent it from dying. These routines feed a bigger picture: a more sustainable circular economy where devices are repaired rather than discarded, helping winter athletes stay powered, accurate, and ready for action.
  • SK hynix Developing High Bandwidth Storage (HBS) by Stacking DRAM & NAND to Boost AI in Smartphones
    November 10, 2025, 8:18 AM EST. SK hynix is pursuing High Bandwidth Storage (HBS) by stacking up to 16 DRAM and NAND chips using vertical wire fan-out (VFO), aiming to clear data bottlenecks and boost AI performance in smartphones and tablets. The approach reduces wiring distance and transmission loss, potentially enabling tighter integration with a chipset, with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro floated as a prime candidate for HBS support. Unlike HBM, HBS avoids TSV, promising lower costs and higher yields. Apple reportedly uses HBM/TSV today, and may explore HBS for future devices. ETNews is the source; VFO packaging is cited as critical for success.
  • Landfall spyware targets Samsung Galaxy phones via zero-day flaw (CVE-2025-21042)
    November 10, 2025, 8:16 AM EST. Researchers from Unit 42 of Palo Alto Networks have uncovered Landfall, a sophisticated Android spyware campaign that quietly operated for nearly a year on Samsung Galaxy devices. The attack spreads through malicious DNG image files shared over messaging apps like WhatsApp, where opening the image triggers code that grants attackers remote access to a victim's data. Targeted data include photos, contacts, call logs, messages, location, and even microphone audio. The campaign exploited a zero-day in Samsung's image library, tracked as CVE-2025-21042. Samsung released a fix in April 2025 after discovery in September 2024, but the campaign persisted for months. Primarily affecting Galaxy S22/S23/S24 and some Z-series on Android 13-15, the attack is described as a precision attack with possible links to Middle East PSAs. The total number of victims remains unknown.
