Semiconductor R&D: Applied Materials added Kioxia to its EPIC Center coalition, bringing Samsung, SK hynix, Micron and Kioxia under one R&D roof to tackle memory bottlenecks that limit large-scale AI. AI & consumer tech: Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra/S12+ with Galaxy AI and a new SmartTag 3 tracker that’s smaller, longer-lasting (up to ~550 days), and works across Android and iOS. Energy & climate: New research points to climate change intensifying El Niño events, with 2026 potentially among the strongest on record. Biotech & pharma capacity: SK pharmteco announced a $200M+ five-year U.S. expansion for small molecules and peptides, while CJ Biomaterials secured compostability certifications for its PHACT™ all-PHA injection-molding compound. Security & geopolitics: South Korea’s spy agency says Zelensky’s disclosure of a secret North Korea POW transfer was likely aimed at winning support for Ukraine. Defense industry: India and South Korea deepened defence industrial cooperation, shifting beyond buyer-seller ties toward manufacturing, tech and logistics collaboration.
