The Trump administration has introduced a major tariff that could make it more expensive to build electric vehicles (EVs) in the United States. A 93.5% tariff has been placed on graphite imports from China, a raw material that is vital for making EV batteries. This decision could lead to higher costs for American automakers, especially as they rely heavily on Chinese graphite.

Quantum computers aren’t just faster versions of classical computers; they are fundamentally different tools that approach computation in a radically new way. While regular computers use ‘bits’, the smallest units of digital information, to solve problems step by step, quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits, to explore vast numbers of potential solutions simultaneously. As a result, quantum machines are far more effective than traditional systems at solving certain complex, structured problems and could benefit several critical industries once the technology matures.

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage : Gold’s dramatic climb past $3,300 per ounce in 2025 (all figures in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted) has proven to be more than a short-term rally—it signals growing investor unease with the global financial landscape. As inflation remains persistently high and trust in fiat currencies continues to erode, gold has reemerged as a dependable hedge against economic instability. This renewed confidence has spurred a surge of capital into Canadian gold projects, particularly in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, the country’s most prolific gold-producing region. Capitalizing on this trend, LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) ( Profile ) is accelerating its transition from exploration focused to production ready.

“Every day of delay is a day an aircraft can’t fly.” This statement makes sense and is obviously a widely recognized truth among the U.S. military. Those charged with providing security and protection for the United States place a high priority on ensuring that no key components of essential aircraft are delayed. Most recently, that attention has been focused on parts made of metals refined almost entirely in China, such as the dysprosium inside a missile’s steering fins. Now the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) is betting that a start-up-scale plant in Alexandria, Louisiana, can keep those aircraft aloft.

Lantern Pharma (NASDAQ: LTRN) announced a complete metabolic response in a heavily pretreated patient with aggressive Grade 3 non-germinal center B-cell DLBCL during its ongoing Phase 1 trial of LP-284—the first such response observed with the candidate. The patient had failed three prior regimens, including CAR-T and bispecific antibody therapy, before responding after just two cycles of LP-284, a next-generation acylfulvene developed using Lantern’s RADR(R) AI platform. This outcome highlights LP-284’s synthetic lethal mechanism and potential as a paradigm-shifting therapy for refractory lymphomas, supporting accelerated development and strategic expansion in the $4 billion global B-cell cancer market.
