Das Erdbeben der Stärke 7,1, das diese Woche Südjapan erschütterte, hat die Produktion in vielen Automobil- und Halbleiterfabriken der Region lahmgelegt. Es besteht jedoch die Hoffnung, dass die Beeinträchtigungen weniger gravierend ausfallen werden als bei einem ähnlich starken Beben vor zehn Jahren. Angesichts der Anfälligkeit Japans für Naturkatastrophen bemühen sich die Hersteller seit Jahrzehnten um eine verbesserte Teileversorgung. Toyota stellt die Produktion in vier Werken ein. Der Autoteilezulieferer Aisin gibt an, die Schäden seien nicht so gravierend wie 2016. Hersteller sollen aus den häufigen Erdbeben Lehren gezogen haben. Auch die Chiphersteller Renesas und Sony stellen den Betrieb vorübergehend ein.

Panthalassa’s answer is to delete the cable instead of paying for it. The electricity never leaves the buoy. Inference chips ride inside the node, the cold seawater around them handles the cooling, and the wave power gets spent on the spot answering AI queries. A question goes up to a Starlink satellite, the chips chew on it, and the answer rides the same link back down. According to the company, that satellite connection is the only link to shore the entire system will ever need.

In permanent magnets, Japan maintained an overall technological lead across most key patents. China was found to outperform competitors only in several alloy-related technologies, while remaining behind Japan and the US in permanent magnet materials, metal powder processing, cobalt-based alloys, sintering methods and rotor core technologies.
