Larsen & Toubro's green energy arm, L&T Energy GreenTech Ltd (LTEG), is set to build India's largest green hydrogen plant at Indian Oil's Panipat Refinery in Haryana. The project will be developed on a build-own-operate (BOO) model and will supply 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to IOCL for the next 25 years.
The plant will run entirely on renewable energy and support the Government of India's National Green Hydrogen Mission. Hydrogen will be produced using advanced high-pressure alkaline electrolysers, made by L&T Electrolysers at their Hazira facility in Gujarat.
Subramaniam Sarma, Deputy Managing Director & President, L&T, stated, 'The decision to set up India's maiden green hydrogen plant validates our strategy to lead the nation's energy transition. This long-term project not only deepens our partnership with IOCL but also reinforces our capability to deliver large-scale clean energy solutions. As a first mover in India's green hydrogen space, we are proud to lay the foundation for cleaner industrial processes at scale.'
This marks a major step in India's green energy shift, and positions L&T at the forefront of clean, large-scale hydrogen infrastructure. The move also supports IOCL's strategy to cut carbon emissions from its refinery operations and contributes to India's broader net-zero goals.

T-Mobile and Starlink's $10 a Month Satellite Texting Service Is Live. Here's How It Works

T-Mobile's T-Satellite internet service, powered by SpaceX's Starlink satellites, officially launched on Wednesday, July 23. The direct-to-cell messaging service that enables texting from anywhere isn't limited to T-Mobile customers -- AT&T and Verizon mobile customers can also purchase it for $10 a month. T-Mobile says its goal is to "eliminate mobile dead zones for good" by way of 657 Starlink satellites that'll be used exclusively for cellphone service. T-Satellite has been in beta testing since December 2024, with nearly 1.8 million users signing up so far. The new satellite texting service represents a major step forward in mobile technology: It works with most phones made during the last four years, according to T-Mobile, instead of requiring dedicated hardware. While it's available to all T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon customers for $10 a month, anyone on T-Mobile's Experience Beyond or Go5G Next plans gets it for free. "At the end of the day, it's nice to be able to send a selfie when you're in a place where there is no coverage, but it's vital to be able to connect to emergency services," Mike Katz, T-Mobile president of marketing, strategy and products, told CNET's Jeff Carlson. "We just think that with a technology like this, no customer should ever be in a situation where they are unconnected in an emergency." Sadly, T-Mobile has already had a reason to test out this emergency service, when it enabled T-Satellite earlier this week in communities affected by massive flooding in Central Texas. T-Mobile customers in the area are able to use text-to-911 and basic text messaging, and they can receive emergency alerts on compatible devices. In the future, T-Satellite will be free for emergency uses across the country. The company said 911 texting will be available later this year to "any mobile customer with a compatible device, regardless of carrier or whether or not they are subscribed to the service." What is T-Satellite? T-Satellite is a partnership between T-Mobile and Starlink that will allow direct-to-cell SMS messaging accessibility in areas where there is no cellular coverage. Starlink has more than 7,000 low-Earth orbit satellites in the sky, and now, 657 of them will be devoted entirely to T-Satellite. The goal is to expand coverage into the 500,000 square miles of the US that traditional cell towers can't reach, says T-Mobile. "When you leave the terrestrial network and you go to a place where there's no network, your phone will automatically search for and connect to the satellite network, which is quite different than any other of the satellite systems that are out there that force you to manually connect, and you have to point your phone up to the sky," says Katz. Satellite connectivity in cellphones isn't exactly new -- iPhones have had it since 2022 -- but it's typically been reserved for SOS messaging to connect you with an emergency dispatcher. On July 23, T-Satellite users will be able to send SMS texts on iPhone and Android. Android users will also get MMS immediately, with iPhone support "to follow." This means users will be able to send images and audio clips in addition to standard text messages. In October, the service will expand to include data support in third-party apps like AccuWeather, AllTrails, WhatsApp and X. The access takes advantage of hooks built into iOS and Android software, so developers can make their apps capable of sending data through the narrow amounts of bandwidth available via satellite. This is far beyond what the other phone carriers have launched so far in the satellite realm -- largely due to T-Mobile's partnership with Starlink. AT&T and Verizon have both partnered with AST SpaceMobile for satellite messaging, and Verizon told CNET's Eli Blumenthal last year that it's still planning on working with Amazon's Project Kuiper, which launched its first 27 satellites on April 28, 2025. "Despite things that our competitors have said, they are way, way behind on this technology," says Katz. How much does T-Satellite cost? T-Satellite is available to AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon customers for a standalone $10 per month. But there's one exception: Customers on T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plan ($100 per month for one line) or the Go5G Next plan will get the service for included in the cost of the plan going forward, and those on the Experience More plan ($85 per month) will get it through the end of the year. Even if you don't pay the $10 a month, T-Mobile says 911 texting will be available later this year "to any mobile customer with a compatible device, regardless of carrier." If you're a Verizon or AT&T customer, you'll have to activate T-Satellite as a second eSIM on your phone to take advantage of the service. You can find instructions on setting up the eSIM here. Which phones support T-Satellite? Most phones released in the past couple of years will work with T-Satellite. Here are the devices that are currently compatible: Apple iPhone 13, iPhone 14, iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 (all models) Google Google Pixel 9 Google Pixel 9A Google Pixel 9 Pro Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold Motorola Moto G Stylus 2025 Moto Razr 2024 Moto Razr Plus 2024 Moto Razr 2025 Moto Razr Plus 2025 Moto Razr Ultra 2025 Moto Razr Ultra Plus 2025 Samsung Samsung Galaxy A25 5G SE* Samsung Galaxy A35 5G Samsung Galaxy A36 Samsung Galaxy A36 SE Samsung Galaxy A53 5G Samsung Galaxy A54 5G* Samsung Galaxy S21 Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra Samsung Galaxy S21 FE Samsung Galaxy S22 Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Samsung Galaxy S22 FE Samsung Galaxy S23 Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Samsung Galaxy S23 FE Samsung Galaxy S24 Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Samsung Galaxy S25 Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 Pro Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 *Some non-T-Mobile device variants are not satellite-capable.

Starlink outage: Service returns after over two hours down

SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service experienced a global outage on Thursday that lasted for over two hours. Reports of connectivity issues started around 3:20PM ET, based on DownDetector. SpaceX didn't acknowledged the outage until 4:05PM ET, via a post on the Starlink X account. Service began to come back for some at around 5:30PM ET, and Michael Nicolls, Starlink's VP of engineering, said the provider had "mostly recovered" at 6:23PM ET. Users across the US, Europe, the UK and Asia reported issues on r/starlink, the service's Reddit page, and SpaceX even acknowledged the outage on Starlink's website. The company hasn't shared the number of people who were actually impacted, but it could be in the millions — as of the last Starlink network update, the service has over six million active customers globally. The initial announcement that SpaceX was working on a fix didn't explain what cause the outage or what was being done to restore service. "Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution," the company's X post said. "We appreciate your patience, we'll share an update once this issue is resolved."

Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution. We appreciate your patience, we'll share an update once this issue is resolved. — Starlink (@Starlink) July 24, 2025 In announcing the service's recovery, Nicolls explained that the outage was due to a "failure of key internal software services that operate the core network," rather than any issue with SpaceX's satellite constellation or other hardware problems. Nicolls added that Starlink will "fully root cause this issue and ensure it does not occur again. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

SpaceX has also partnered with companies like T-Mobile to use Starlink to extend smartphone connectivity outside the bounds of traditional cell networks. It's not clear how T-Mobile's Starlink service was impacted as by the outage. Update, July 24, 6:30PM ET: Article has been updated to reflect that Starlink service is restored.

Crossbow Therapeutics Nominates its Second Development Candidate, CBX-663, a Broadly Acting Therapeutic for a Wide Range of Solid and Hematologic Malignancies

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Crossbow Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company developing T-Bolt™ therapies, a novel class of T-cell receptor (TCR)-mimetic antibody therapeutics, today announced the nomination of its second development candidate, CBX-663, for the treatment of a broad range of solid tumor and hematologic malignancies. The next-generation T-cell engager targets telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), a protein that drives tumor growth and is expressed in up to 95% of cancers. 1,2 CBX-663, a bispecific antibody, binds to TERT-derived peptide human leukocyte antigen (pHLA) complexes on the surface of tumor cells and activates T-cells through a CD3-binding arm. The molecule includes two binding domains for TERT, which increase its ability to engage tumor cells and boost immune activation. 'CBX-663 illustrates how Crossbow's TCR-mimetic platform can unlock new opportunities for antibody-based cancer therapies,' said Briggs Morrison, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Crossbow. 'With strong preclinical performance selectively targeting a pHLA expressed across a broad range of cancers, CBX-663 has the potential to offer a meaningful new treatment option for patients with limited therapeutic options.' In preclinical studies, CBX-663 drove potent, antigen-specific tumor killing across multiple TERT-positive cancer models, with minimal activity against TERT-negative or HLA-mismatched cells. The candidate also demonstrated a favorable safety profile and pharmacokinetics comparable to conventional antibody therapies. Crossbow presented data summarizing the initial characterization of CBX-663 at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). Although TERT resides inside the cell, HLA molecules can present fragments of the protein, known as peptides, on the tumor surface. CBX-663 recognizes one of those peptides, the HLA-A*02:01-restricted TERT540 peptide, and redirects T-cells to attack tumor cells. CBX-663 demonstrated broad cytotoxic activity in vitro in both solid and hematologic cancer cell lines, as well as in primary patient samples ex vivo. In vivo studies further confirmed its anti-tumor efficacy and tolerability. 'CBX-663 reflects the depth of antibody discovery and protein engineering that underpins our T-Bolt™ platform and our ability to generate highly selective, potent molecules against difficult cancer targets,' said Dmitri Wiederschain, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Crossbow. 'Its performance in preclinical models reinforces the promise of TCR-mimetic therapeutics, and we're excited to continue advancing this program.' Crossbow discovered and developed CBX-663 through its proprietary T-Bolt™ platform, which uses optimized antibody libraries and precision screening to find high-affinity, specific binders to intracellular tumor antigens displayed as pHLA complexes. The nomination of CBX-663 underscores the platform's potential to deliver a scalable pipeline of T-cell engagers for difficult-to-treat cancers. About Crossbow Therapeutics, Inc. Crossbow Therapeutics, Inc., is a biotechnology company determined to improve the lives of people with cancer by unlocking the therapeutic potential of T-cell receptor (TCR)-mimetic antibodies. The company's T-Bolt™ therapies are next-generation, easily assembled immunotherapies directed with high precision at previously unreachable cancer cell targets. Crossbow's efficient and selective approach is designed to target the entire universe of cancer proteins, dramatically expanding the potential of antibody therapy to address many types of cancer.
