China\'s LineShine supercomputer regains world top spot with homegrown technology
China has regained the top spot in global supercomputer performance for the first time since 2017, achieving the world’s No. 1 result without GPUs despite U.S. semiconductor and AI technology restrictions. The National Supercomputing Center’s LineShine recorded 2.198 EFlops, topping Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s El Capitan at 1.809 EFlops. TOP500 said LineShine is the first sustainable double-precision 2-exaflop-class system built using CPUs only.

KAIST boosts low-cost solid-state battery performance 2 to 4 fold
KAIST said on Jan. 7 it developed a design method that improves solid-state battery performance by 2 to 4 times using low-cost raw materials. The team introduced divalent anions such as oxygen and sulfur into zirconium-based halide solid electrolytes to adjust internal structures, widening lithium-ion pathways and lowering barriers. Measured room-temperature ionic conductivity was about 1.78 mS/cm with oxygen and 1.01 mS/cm with sulfur. The study was published in Nature Communications.
