The UK hyperscaler has now raised over $4.5bn across equity rounds in less than six months, and says it is the largest Series C ever closed in Europe. That claim deserves scrutiny.

The camera nods, dances to music, and tracks faces. The rest of the specs are a secret. Something unusual happened at Mobile World Congress this year. A device sat in a glass case at the Honor booth in Hall 3, present, demonstrably functional, performing little robotic gestures for anyone who stopped to watch, and yet […]

Netflix is acquiring it just as Hollywood unions sit down for a new round of contract talks. For four years, Ben Affleck has been running a technology company that nobody in […]
The neutral-atom quantum computing company, co-founded by Nobel laureate Alain Aspect, has announced a business combination with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. II, with the deal expected to close in the second half of 2026. When Alain Aspect shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2022, the citation concerned experiments performed decades earlier, precise measurements of quantum […]
The London-headquartered neobank has submitted applications to the OCC and the FDIC to establish Revolut Bank US, N.A., committing $500m to the American market and appointing a former Visa executive as its new US CEO.
