State of Internet Access in Guatemala: From City Wi-Fi to Satellite Lifelines

4G LTE coverage is extensive, reaching about 91% of the population in 2024, while 3G coverage reaches about 95%. In 2023, SIT held spectrum auctions that raised about $176 million in total: 126 MHz in the 2.5 GHz band brought in about $49 million (with Tigo $32 million and Claro $17 million) and a later 700 MHz tender raised about $127 million. Starlink officially launched in Guatemala in June 2024 with the Starlink Mini kit priced around Q1,600 ($200) and monthly plans of Q510–560 ($65–72), delivering speeds of 100–200 Mbps with latency of 20–50 ms.

Solid-State Batteries: The Game-Changer Powering a New Battery Revolution in 2025

Solid-State Batteries: The Game-Changer Powering a New Battery Revolution in 2025

Solid-state batteries replace the liquid electrolyte with a solid electrolyte, often a ceramic, glass, or solid polymer, and many designs use lithium metal anodes. Prototype solid-state cells have demonstrated energy densities of about 300–450 Wh/kg, with Mercedes-Benz and Factorial reporting roughly 450 Wh/kg. Toyota claims its solid-state EV batteries will charge from 10% to 80% in roughly 10 minutes. Solid-state batteries use non-flammable solid electrolytes, drastically reducing fire risk and leakage compared with liquid electrolytes. Volkswagen reported a solid-state prototype that retained 95% of its capacity after 1,000 charge cycles (about 500,000 km). In 2025, solid-state production costs are around

Cobra, QuantumScape’s ceramic separator manufacturing process, was integrated into baseline production in June 2025, delivering ~25× faster heat-treatment and a dramatically smaller equipment footprint. The company’s stock surged from about $4.33 on June 24, 2025 to $7.65 on June 26, 2025, a roughly 47% year-to-date gain by mid-2025. In April 2025, QuantumScape announced a strategic collaboration with Murata Manufacturing to support high-volume production of ceramic separators using the Cobra process. Volkswagen Group’s PowerCo license to produce QuantumScape solid-state cells up to 40 GWh per year (expandable to 80 GWh) was established in mid-2024.

Beyond Lithium-Ion: Sodium-Ion vs. Solid-State vs. Lithium-Sulfur – Who Wins the Next Battery Race?

Beyond Lithium-Ion: Sodium-Ion vs. Solid-State vs. Lithium-Sulfur – Who Wins the Next Battery Race?

CATL unveiled the world’s first mass-produced sodium-ion EV battery, named Naxtra, in 2023 and began deploying it in cars by late 2023. Sodium-ion cells typically deliver 140–160 Wh/kg, with CATL’s best prototypes around 175 Wh/kg and a second-generation cell expected to exceed 200 Wh/kg. All-solid-state lithium batteries are projected to store 50% to 100% more energy than today’s Li-ion, with Toyota claiming a 20% initial range boost for its solid-state packs due in 2027–28. Solid-state designs could enable 600–1000+ miles per charge, according to industry projections and Toyota’s statements. Lithium-sulfur cells have a theoretical energy density of 600–800 Wh/kg, Fraunhofer’s

Drone Laws Exposed (2025): The Ultimate Guide to U.S. FAA Rules, No-Fly Zones, and State Regulations

The FAA divides drones into Recreational and Part 107 Commercial categories, with the latter requiring a Remote Pilot Certificate (minimum 16 years old, English proficiency, passing the Unmanned Aircraft General – Small exam, TSA background check) and a certificate valid for 2 years plus 24‑month recurrent training. Recreational flyers must pass the TRUST safety test, and any drone over 0.55 pounds (250 grams) must be registered with the FAA for $5 and remain registered for 3 years with the registration number on the drone. Remote ID became mandatory for drones that must be registered starting Sept 16, 2023, with enforcement

UK ‘Two‑Tier State Pension’ Row: What Rachel Reeves’ Autumn Budget 2025 Means for Your Taxes and Retirement

The UK state pension has jumped to the top of the political and financial agenda again – not because of the usual triple‑lock debate, but because of a controversial new promise that risks creating what critics call a “two‑tier state pension”. Following the Autumn Budget 2025, Chancellor Rachel Reeves has confirmed that pensioners whose only income is the state pension will not pay income tax on it during this Parliament. Everyone else – including people with even a modest private pension or small top‑ups – will still be taxed in the usual way. Pensions Age+1 At the same time, the

Beyond Lithium-Ion: How Solid-State, Lithium-Sulfur, Sodium-Ion & Graphene Batteries Will Revolutionize EVs, Gadgets and Grid Storage

Solid-state batteries use a solid electrolyte and lithium-metal anodes, offering 50–100% higher energy density than today’s Li‑ion and 1,000+ cycles with about 95% capacity retention, with Toyota targeting 750 miles per charge and 10-minute charging by 2027–2028. Lithium-sulfur batteries have a theoretical energy density above 500 Wh/kg, and a recent all-solid-state Li‑S cell demonstrated around 25,000 cycles with 80% capacity retention, though energy density still needs improvement. Sodium-ion batteries today run around 160–175 Wh/kg, CATL claims 175 Wh/kg with over 10,000 cycles and operation from −40°C to +70°C, and Chery launched the first Na‑ion EV in 2023 with mass production

Allstate Homeowners Insurance Rate Hike in Illinois: What the 2026 Increase Means After State Farm’s 27% Jump

CHICAGO — Illinois homeowners are heading into 2026 with another major cost increase on the horizon: Allstate has filed to raise homeowners insurance rates statewide, following State Farm’s headline-making hike earlier this year. The back-to-back moves are intensifying a political fight in Springfield over how (and whether) Illinois should regulate home insurance prices, while consumer advocates warn affordability is eroding for hundreds of thousands of families who have little choice but to keep coverage to satisfy mortgage requirements.
