For all their promise, electric cars have always had a big drawback: Charging takes much longer than filling up a gas tank. But the gap has been closing, and this week, Chinese battery giant CATL ...

As the race to harness quantum computing accelerates, governments are throwing their hats in the ring. The US Department of Energy is now aiming to build a fully functional, fault-tolerant quantum ...

With billions invested and prototypes being tested outside the lab, the quantum era is starting to take shape. The unveiling by IBM of two new quantum supercomputers and Denmark’s plans to develop ...

What can you see right now? This might seem like a silly question, but what enters your consciousness is not the whole story when it comes to vision. A great deal of visual processing in the brain ...

In a step toward biological computing, brain organoids rewired their networks as they learned to balance a digital pole on a cart. Try balancing a ruler vertically on the palm of your hand while ...

Modern AI chatbots can do amazing things, from writing research papers to composing Shakespearian sonnets about your cat. But amid the sparks of genius, there are flashes of idiocy. Time and again, ...

Gene editing is a numbers game. For any genetic tweaks to have notable impact, a sufficient number of targeted cells need to have the disease-causing gene deleted or replaced. Despite a growing ...

While we have sent probes billions of kilometers into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own planet, not even making it through the thin crust. Roughly 3,000 ...

"[In addition to Unitree] a staggering 200-plus other Chinese companies are also developing humanoids, which recently prompted the Chinese government to warn of overcapacity and unnecessary ...

The LightGen chip is orders of magnitude more efficient too. But it isn't ready to break out of the lab just yet. As generative AI models grow more powerful, their energy use is becoming a serious ...

The gene editor CRISPR is tackling fatty molecules in the body that contribute to one of the world’s top killers: cardiovascular disease. With a single injection, their flagship formulation lowered ...

One the biggest challenges for quantum computers is the incredibly short time that qubits can retain information. But a new qubit from Princeton University lasts 15 times longer than industry standard ...
