What’s New Today: TSMC will start 3-nanometre chip production at its second Japan factory in 2028.
Fast-Track Insights: EnerVenue raised $300 million to expand non-lithium battery production, research, and global energy storage operations by 2026
Here’s a quick rundown of the biggest tech headlines making waves today. Let's dive into the day's top tech stories, from TSMC Plans Advanced Japan Chip Production to NIC Opens Applications For 243 Scientist-B Posts.
TSMC plans to begin equipment installation and mass production of advanced 3-nanometre wafers at its second Japan factory in 2028. The updated project will produce 15,000 12-inch wafers monthly using 3-nanometre technology. Earlier Japan plans focused on older chip processes. TSMC’s first Japan fab started production in late 2024. Sony, DENSO, and Toyota are minority investors in its Japan semiconductor venture. CC Wei confirmed plans during a February meeting earlier.
EnerVenue has raised an additional $300 million in Series B funding led by Full Vision Capital. The California-based company will use the investment to expand production of its non-lithium metal-hydrogen battery systems in Changzhou, support new cell research, and grow across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. EnerVenue focuses on long-lasting, water-based energy storage systems designed for grid reliability, renewable energy, and rising AI power demand.
The National Informatics Centre has opened applications for 243 Scientist-B posts across Computer Science, Electronics, and Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. The recruitment process is based on GATE 2024, 2025, or 2026 scores. Applications started on March 27 and will close on April 24, 2026. Selected candidates will work on government digital and e-governance projects, with salaries ranging from Rs 56,100 to Rs 1,77,500.
The field of AI engineering will demand essential software skills, together with machine learning competencies and hands-on experience in 2026. The fundamental skills for beginners should include Python and SQL together with APIs, cloud platforms, and neural networks and transformers and modern AI concepts, which include RAG, LangChain, and MCP. Real-world project experience is what recruiters value more than basic chatbot demonstration skills. The field of AI careers maintains high salary levels, which are particularly beneficial for professionals who possess MLOps, AI security, and model optimization and deployment skills.
Nearly 9 million Bitcoin, around 45 to 46 percent of the circulating supply, are currently held at a loss. Similar conditions in past cycles often led to further declines before markets stabilized. Bitcoin is trading between $63,000 and $69,000, with ETF outflows and whale selling adding pressure. Analysts say stronger ETF inflows and renewed whale buying could help Bitcoin recover, while a break below $63,000 may trigger deeper losses.
