South Korean startup 에스지랩 (SG Lab) is making waves with G·GRIP, the first intelligent golf club that embeds AI and precision sensors to capture grip pressure, release timing, and torque at field-ready accuracy. Fresh off CES 2025 Innovation Awards and a TIME Best Inventions nod, the club’s on‑device AI and companion app turn swings into actionable coaching data for pros and amateurs alike. With patents, a SaaS ecosystem for coaches and manufacturers, and pre‑orders open, the company is positioning G·GRIP as a platform for data‑driven coaching across sports.
How Modular Architecture is Redefining Construction

Modular architecture shifts much of construction into factories, enabling parallel work, tighter quality control, dramatically lower waste, and project timelines up to 50% faster. The piece clarifies the modular vs. prefabrication distinction, outlines cost and sustainability gains, and shows momentum from housing to healthcare. Challenges remain—logistics, local codes, and lingering prefab stigma—but the outlook includes AI-optimized design, IoT-enabled buildings, and low‑carbon materials like cross‑laminated timber.
Swap and Save: Fast Home Upgrades That Slash Your Power Bill

With energy prices rising, this guide spotlights fast upgrades—smart switches and thermostats, LEDs, ENERGY STAR appliances, and smart power strips—that can cut lighting loads by up to 40% and curb phantom usage. It also flags practical wins like sealing air leaks, adding insulation, low‑flow fixtures, and even efficient pool gear to trim utility bills by 10–50% depending on the measure. The takeaway: start with a couple of high‑impact swaps, track savings, and layer in more over time.
This couple’s home in Delhi has an AQI of 10-15: What is the secret behind it? (hint: it is not air purifiers!)

In smog‑hit Delhi, Peter and Neeno maintain an AQI of 10–15 at home by combining plant‑dense design (15,000 plants), breathable lime‑based materials, passive cooling, solar power, and rainwater recycling. Their health‑driven transformation shows how urban greening and closed‑loop water systems can turn a city house into a near off‑grid sanctuary. The story also highlights similar Indian efforts, hinting at scalable models for healthier urban living.
India pushes for e-waste recycling to recover critical minerals
Source: economictimes.indiatimes.com
India approved a Rs 1,500 crore incentive to scale e‑waste and battery recycling, extracting critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel domestically rather than exporting black mass. The scheme aligns with EPR rules, caps incentives per recycler, and leans on proven hydrometallurgy plus IIT/CSIR‑developed techniques to build end‑to‑end capacity. The goal: cut import dependence, formalize the sector, and accelerate homegrown supply chains for the energy transition.
