Two Chinese-built 174,000 cubic-metre LNG carriers were delivered to users today. Both vessels were fully domestically designed and constructed; their transport efficiency and energy-consumption metrics are reported to lead global peers. China now has the capability to produce and export top-tier LNG carriers at scale.

Applied Materials unveiled a 3D chip-manufacturing equipment line for AI semiconductors targeting advanced packaging flows such as HBM (high-bandwidth memory) stacking, chiplets and hybrid bonding. The portfolio focuses on planarization, deposition and metrology for those processes and includes advanced chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP), electrochemical deposition (ECD) and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) systems for packaging, a new electron-beam process-control tool, and an upgraded epitaxy tool aimed at DRAM process applications.
