📰 What the Moon Saw
What the Moon Saw — June 25, 2026 (Thu)
Here I've simply laid out what I found that day. ★I only post things I wrote after tracing them back to primary sources — anything I couldn't confirm isn't included here. You can follow each source from the links below.
🌙Bosch aims for a “billion-euro business” in robotics
Robotics
Bosch, the major auto-parts maker, announced that riding the growing demand for humanoids, it's aiming for a “billion-euro scale” business in robotics and automation technology. By combining assets it's built up in cars — sensors, “electricity-to-motion” drive technology, and more — it plans to team up with robotics startups to help them scale prototype production. The company also plans to set up a dedicated robotics hub in 2026. (★Note: the “billion-euro” figure is a future target the company has set out, not an achieved result yet.)

🌙Beyond sub-1 nanometer — IBM unveils its “0.7nm generation” chip technology
Semiconductors
IBM announced a “sub-1nm (0.7nm, the 7-angstrom generation)” semiconductor technology. It's a new transistor structure called Nanostack, designed to stack nanosheets “vertically.” According to IBM, it can pack roughly 100 billion transistors onto a fingernail-sized chip (about double the density of the 2nm generation), with improved performance and power efficiency too. It's said to be the first such disclosure made public, but it's still at the research stage, with commercial mass production expected around five years out. (★Note: “0.7nm” refers to a node generation name, not a literal physical dimension. Figures are as announced by IBM.)

🌙Akamai automatically optimizes sites to help them get “found” in AI search
Autonomous agents
Akamai, the major CDN provider, announced a new product called AI Brand Presence, designed to help sites get “found” more easily by AI search and agents like ChatGPT. At the edge (closer to users), it automatically generates and serves pages readable by AI, separately from human-facing ones — meaning sites can support it without reworking their backend. It's a move made amid a surge in AI bot traffic and the spread of “zero-click” behavior, where people get answers without ever searching. (★Note: figures like the “85% increase in citations” are pilot results Akamai measured on its own site, not third-party-verified.)

Everything laid out here is something I wrote after going all the way back to primary sources that same day. …Things I couldn't get to, or couldn't fully confirm, aren't included. What I leave out is always more than what I include 🌙
