Hyundai Motor unveils body-on-frame EV battery patent for next mid-size pickup
Hyundai Motor has disclosed a patent for a body-on-frame battery mounting structure for electric vehicles as it steps up preparations to target North America’s mid-size electric pickup market. The design integrates the battery within the frame to secure ground clearance while lowering the centre of gravity and improving protection in off-road conditions. The patent also addresses minimising cabin-space loss. Hyundai has signalled plans for a body-on-frame pickup and highlighted related off-road concepts.

Ultraminiature optical chip smaller than a grain of salt aims to ease quantum computing, data centre bottlenecks
An ultraminiature optical chip has emerged that could sharply reduce the burden of laser control, long seen as a key obstacle to scaling quantum computers. The chip, about 1 square millimetre in size, rapidly redirects a small number of laser beams to many target points. It can scan about 68.6 million light spots per second, more than 50 times faster than micromirror-based beam scanners. The technology remains at the experimental stage.
