MANILA, Philippines–On May 20, 2025, following successful product demonstrations, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) and Amber Kinetics (AK) signed an MOU extending their collaboration to promote KHI’s iVSG (Virtual Synchronous Generator) technology with AK’s FESS (Flywheel Energy Storage System). This partnership aims to provide reliability, stability and resiliency to power grids. As renewable energy sources integrate further with power grids, the more unstable it becomes, such as in the major blackout that recently happened in the Iberian Peninsula. . .

American Bitcoin has made its debut on the Nasdaq following a stock-for-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining. The company positions itself as a pure-play Bitcoin accumulation platform focused on building America’s Bitcoin infrastructure backbone. As a majority-owned subsidiary of Hut 8 Corp., American Bitcoin employs a dual strategy combining Bitcoin mining operations with opportunistic market purchases. The company leverages Hut 8’s infrastructure and ASIC technology to mine Bitcoin efficiently, while maintaining operational cost advantages through shared services and infrastructure access.

The merger between Gryphon Digital and American Bitcoin, culminating in the Nasdaq-listed entity “American Bitcoin” (ABTC), represents a pivotal moment in the institutionalization of Bitcoin. By combining Gryphon’s low-cost mining infrastructure with American Bitcoin’s aggressive treasury strategy, the new entity leverages political connections, regulatory tailwinds, and a strategic focus on Bitcoin accumulation to position itself as a speculative play in the evolving crypto landscape. . .

Gryphon’s rising share price comes as more crypto companies go public and digital asset regulation in the United States has progressed. Gryphon Digital Mining is set to merge with Trump-linked American Bitcoin in September, with its shares already up 231% since the May announcement. Gryphon’s shares jumped 42.1% on Thursday to $1.75 from $1.35, according to Google Finance. The rally came as American Bitcoin’s largest investor, Hut 8 CEO Asher Genoot, told Reuters the merger between American Bitcoin and Gryphon is expected to be finalized soon, with trading set to begin in early September. . .

The people who work at Santo Taco in Nolita wear aprons that say “A Higher Standard.” That might come off as trying too hard—if the tacos at this Nolita spot from a Cosme founder weren’t so damn good. Their steak trompo taco is destined for the unofficial NYC taco hall of fame. To make it, they layer rib eye and strip steak onto the trompo, season simply with salt, and cook it until it’s soft and slick with fat.

The behind-the-scenes founder of Cosme is stepping out on his own with a new downtown taqueria in an unusual arrangement attached to a longtime Mexican restaurant. Santiago Perez — a partner with chef Enrique Olvera in restaurants like Noho’s Atla, Los Angeles’s Damian, and Mexico City’s Pujol under the Casamata hospitality group umbrella — is launching a solo restaurant.

The Moss Landing battery plant fire was a catastrophic event that left the battery industry reeling. The blaze destroyed most of a 300 MW/1,200 MWh storage facility — equivalent to powering approximately 960,000 homes or 16,000 Tesla Model 3s — and the fire suppression system proved futile, forcing firefighters to let the fire burn itself out.

Prevalent at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic were images of cargo ships logjammed at the nation’s largest ports. As many as 40 vessels idled offshore waiting to dock at the Port of Los Angeles. Several factors were at play. Consumer orders for goods had spiked. With stores closed, people began shopping online for items that they ordinarily would have purchased at retailers. Unable to go to the gym, they ordered dumbbells and treadmills. Suddenly working from home, they converted spare bedrooms to offices and ordered desks and file cabinets. . .
