December 7, 2025, 10:16 PM EST. Researchers at Korea University have developed an ultrathin protective film-less than 40 nanometers thick-composed of alternating layers of silver ions and trithiocyanuric acid that sits on a nickel-fiber plate to stabilize the lithium-metal electrode. The silver-ion process guides lithium placement at the interface, reducing dendrite growth without a complicated synthesis. In tests, cells with the film endured roughly 2,000 hours of cycling and retained 96% of capacity after 1,300 charge-discharge cycles. The approach operates at room temperature and ambient pressure. If scalable, this dendrite-deterrent layer could enable safer, longer-lasting, and more efficient EV batteries, boosting driving range and accelerating commercialization of next-generation metal batteries.

December 7, 2025, 10:14 PM EST. Nvidia has built an AI chip empire by shifting from gaming GPUs to AI accelerators, fueling rapid revenue growth and high margins. The latest results show leadership in the AI chip market, with revenue surpassing $130 billion and gross margins around 70%. Yet competition is intensifying: AMD, Broadcom, and even its own customers-Amazon and Alphabet-are developing in-house chips for cloud services. The question isn't whether disruption will come, but how much market share pressure investors should expect as AI demand broadens. And the answer, hinted at by Jensen Huang's 21 words, emphasizes timing, ecosystem, and ongoing innovation. Today, Nvidia's GPUs power both the training and inference of LLMs, enabling them to think and reason, while cloud rivals expand their own chip lines.

December 7, 2025, 9:44 PM EST. Amid rapid quantum progress, IBM is positioned to be the standout winner in 2026. After a turbulent decade, the company has pivoted toward cloud and AI while advancing its quantum roadmap, from early access in 2016 to the IBM Q System One and the recent Nighthawk 120-qubit processor. IBM's promise of quantum advantage by 2026 and a planned fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029 highlights a multi-year strategy. Financially, IBM posted solid growth in the first nine months of 2025 with nearly $48 billion revenue and about $5.0 billion net income, supporting a stable foundation even as some competitors soar. Critics may note the P/E multiple and still-developing earnings from quantum, but IBM's profits and ongoing quantum investments keep it in the spotlight.

December 7, 2025, 9:42 PM EST. Two software plays, Palantir (PLTR) and Innodata (INOD), look to ride the generative AI boom alongside chipmakers. Palantir operates Gotham and Foundry, integrating data for government and commercial clients to spot trends. Innodata provides AI-data prep microservices that clean and annotate training data as firms scale AI projects. From 2020 to 2024, Palantir's revenue grew at a 27% CAGR to about $2.9B and it turned GAAP profitable in 2023, helping it join the S&P 500. Innodata delivered roughly 31% CAGR, rising from $58M to $170M as major tech firms rely on its prep tools. The piece weighs which could deliver bigger five-year revenue gains and which stock looks best today.

December 7, 2025, 9:32 PM EST. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang warned that while the United States remains ahead in AI-chip technology, China's rapid infrastructure growth and expanding energy capacity could tilt the race. Speaking at CSIS, Huang contrasted a three-year timeline to build a data center in the United States with China's ability to 'build a hospital in a weekend.' He noted China's larger energy base, arguing the edge matters even as Nvidia remains 'generations ahead' on chips. Huang cautioned against underestimating China's manufacturing and infrastructure prowess, even as United States and UK policy environments shape progress. The broader debate among tech leaders centers on how policy, energy constraints, and infrastructure will determine international leadership in artificial intelligence.
