BEIJING, Nov 26 (Reuters) - China's Huawei (HWT.UL) said on Sunday it will move core technologies and resources in its smart car unit, which has chalked up robust sales for a number of new vehicles, to a new joint company owned up to 40% by automaker Changan Auto. The new company will engage in research and development, production, sales and service of intelligent automotive systems and component solutions, Huawei said in a press release. "The new company will ... work with partners to promote innovation and leadership in smart car technology and promote the prosperity and development of the automotive industry," the release said. "The two parties will jointly support the target company to become an industry leader in automotive intelligent systems and component solutions based in China," the filing said. Huawei has repeatedly said it does not make cars on its own but only helps other automakers make better vehicles.

BEIJING/SHANGHAI, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Huawei Technologies (HWT.UL) kicked off a product launch event on Monday by thanking China for its support amid expectations the tech giant would later reveal more details on its latest Mate 60 smartphone series.

Users and analysts who bought the Mate 60 Pro said it had a Chinese-made chip and was capable of 5G speeds. He also said the company was working overtime and urgently manufacturing as many Mate 60 Pro smartphones as it could. While he did not discuss the Mate 60 smartphone series in detail, he announced the roll-out of a new ultra, high-end brand called 'Ultimate Design', whose products include a Mate 60 RS smartphone and a watch.

☆ Why did some birds survive when dinosaurs went extinct? Molting feathers could hold a clue
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-12 | by ( Jenny Mcgrath | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Fossilized feathers of an extinct bird show it molted differently than modern birds. The prehistoric bird lost its feathers all at once, while many modern birds molt in waves. There doesn't seem to be a singular reason why modern birds' ancestors survived and the others went extinct, O'Connor said in a statement. But it was also born with a full set of flying feathers, a trait found in certain types of modern precocial birds. O'Connor thinks developing a better understanding of molting and how it evolved could have important implications for modern birds.
