Boson Cell Unveils Indigenous Lithium Cells for EVs and Drones
These indigenously developed lithium cells boast key advantages over conventional alternatives, including higher energy density, high discharge current, enhanced safety, and 1,000 recharge cycles—nearly three times the lifespan of typical Chinese imports. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Boson Cell, a homegrown lithium-ion cell manufacturing company, has officially launched two new variants: 18350 B-30A and 21700 B-50A. Engineered for electric vehicles (EVs), drones, and renewable energy systems, the cells mark a pivotal moment in reducing India's dependency on imported battery technology, particularly from China. These indigenously developed lithium cells boast key advantages over conventional alternatives, including higher energy density, high discharge current, enhanced safety, and 1,000 recharge cycles—nearly three times the lifespan of typical Chinese imports. With a low minimum order quantity and no inventory carrying costs, Boson aims to empower both large manufacturers and small-scale innovators with greater supply chain flexibility and cost-efficiency. "Boson is not just another cell manufacturer—it's a symbol of India's technological prowess in powering sustainable solutions to address the requirements of the burgeoning futuristic industry that are looking for banking on renewable energy," said Guru Punghavan, CEO of Boson Cell. "We're not only replacing imports but building smarter, cleaner, and more scalable energy solutions that can power the future of every Indian household, enterprise, and innovation." Founded with a vision to build a cleaner energy future, Boson Cell integrates in-house R&D, proprietary recycling technology, and a scalable manufacturing ecosystem. The company offers lithium cells in three tailored categories—Economy, Advanced, and Extreme—to meet diverse user requirements from industrial clients to individual consumers. Each cell undergoes multi-stage testing to ensure maximum safety and quality. The new product line is strategically timed with India's booming drone sector, expected to reach USD 13 billion by 2030. Boson's lightweight, durable cells are uniquely suited for drone applications in agriculture, logistics, defence, and infrastructure. Currently available across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh via retailers and e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, and Boson's D2C portal, the company plans to expand pan-India by end-2025, cementing its role as a cornerstone of India's energy and tech ecosystem.

Black tech catching eyes at International hi-tech expo
Listen to article "Our 1,000-qubit coherent optical quantum computer exhibited for the first time, as China's first optical quantum computer to break the kilobit scale, has broad application prospects in biopharmaceuticals, artificial intelligence, communications, finance, energy and other industries." A staff member of Beijing Boson Quantum Technology introduced orderly. "In the field of biopharmaceuticals, Research and Development (R&D) of a new drug requires small molecule screening, which takes a lot of time and huge computing power to do using traditional methods. A small molecule screening process may take several minutes on a traditional computer, whereas only one second with this quantum computer. Drug screening can be accelerated thousands of times, and it is expected to greatly improve efficiency in new drug development in the future," Dr Wen Kai, CEO of Boson, emphasised. At the ongoing 27th China Beijing International High-tech Expo, a series of completely independently developed Black tech products have attracted attention from home and abroad. "AI2 Robotics' self-developed embodied intelligent big model GOVLA (Global & Omni-body Vision-Language-Action) is a big VLA model that has the ability to scale from desktop to open environment, from single arm to full body coordination, and from simple tasks to long-range reasoning," the head of AI2 Robotics, a world-leading embodied intelligent robot company, told China Economic Net. "To give a popular example, a robot equipped with a conventional VLA large model requires a person to place the ingredients on the table, which is within the robot's visual range. After the operation, a person is required to provide follow-up services to the robot. However, a robot equipped with a GOVLA large model can perceive the surrounding environment 360 degrees, including taking ingredients from the refrigerator, mixing healthy breakfasts, and delivering breakfast to the table after it is ready, which is a full-chain service of a butler. In addition, in high-risk scenarios such as coordinated material transportation, intelligent unpacking and disinfection, intelligent visual inspection, aseptic product filling, and microbial culture monitoring, our robots can replace manual labour to avoid cross-contamination as well as reduce the risk of microbial contamination." "Imported orthopaedic surgical robots cost more than 20 million yuan, making them so difficult to popularise in clinical practice. Our team uses an independently developed AI algorithm to compress the traditional 4-8 hours of manual CT image annotation to 5-10 minutes to automatically generate a three-dimensional bone model and accurately identify the boundaries of lesions," at the booth of surgical robot solutions Longwood Valley Medtech, the world's first AI + full orthopaedic surgical robot ROPA was performing a "knee replacement surgery" on a human model. A staff said that doctors use AI planning before surgery to help determine the implant position and angle, and ROPA assists in bone cutting during surgery. It could achieve submillimetre positioning, making the surgery more precise, reducing intraoperative bleeding and lowering the incidence of complications. In the field of digital orthopaedics, domestic technology has broken the monopoly of imported brands. The total exhibition area of 2025 CHITEC is about 50,000 square metres, with more than 300 enterprises and institutions from 18 countries and regions were participating in it. More than that, there will be more than 600 first-time and first-of-its-kind exhibits distributed in six areas such as information technology, intelligent manufacturing, medical health, green & dual carbon, digital economy and regional innovation.

Quantum Startup BTQ Proposes More Energy Efficient Alternative to Crypto's Proof of Work
A recently published journal article by researchers at BTQ, a startup working to build blockchain technology that can withstand attacks from quantum computers, has proposed an alternative to the Proof of Work (PoW) algorithm involving quantum technology. Proof of Work is a blockchain consensus mechanism that secures the Bitcoin network. Participants crunch through vast amounts of math problems to validate transactions. Some have criticized the process as being too energy-intensive, while others have argued the opposite. Quantum computing involves moving away from a process reliant on binary code, ones and zeros, which open and close transistor gates. Quantum bits (qubits) exist in multiple states simultaneously, vastly increasing computational power to the point where modern-day encryption built by classical computers – reliant on transistors and binary code – is threatened. In its paper, BTQ researchers propose a quantum-based alternative called Coarse-Grained Boson Sampling (CGBS). This method uses light particles (bosons) to generate unique patterns—samples—that reflect the blockchain's current state instead of hash-based mathematical puzzles. The random sampling of these patterns would create encryption, in the same way that random numbers form the backbone of encryption made by classical computers. Boson-sampling was initially created to demonstrate something called quantum supremacy, a test that determines when a mathematical equation is too complex for a classical computer. These samples are grouped into categories, called bins, which make it easier to validate the results and confirm the miner's work. This approach replaces traditional cryptographic puzzles of PoW with quantum sampling tasks, significantly reducing energy consumption while ensuring the network remains secure and decentralized. While BTQ's proposal is theoretically interesting, achieving it would require a hard fork of the Bitcoin network with miners and nodes replacing their existing ASIC-based hardware (computers solely made for the PoW consensus mechanism) with quantum-ready infrastructure. This would certainly be a herculean effort and might result in a fork as seen with the Blocksize Wars of years past.
