Every week, we scour the web for important, insightful, and fascinating stories in science and technology.

The simulation encompasses nearly all of a cell's molecules over roughly two hours.

As they imagine typing, implants translate brain signals into keystrokes on a standard digital keyboard.

The prevailing narrative suggests AI is ready to replace humans, but the evidence is more nuanced.

Part of the Singularity Discussion Series.

What does a decade of building at the frontier of AI actually look like? Not the polished highlights, but the pivots, the failures, the hard-won lessons, and the moments that really mattered.

Rebooting frozen brains is still science fiction, but advanced freezing techniques could preserve wiring and function.

In a step toward biological computing, brain organoids rewired their networks as they learned to balance a digital pole on a cart.

Visual experiments suggest just a small fraction of the information our brains process enters awareness.

The three-phase plan calls for up to 30 robotic missions, including a fleet of rocket-powered moon hoppers.

The genetically engineered cells can be rewired to tackle a range of bacteria in the battle against antibiotic resistance.

AI companies may be reluctant to risk lower engagement with models that push back.

With data center power demand expected to nearly triple by 2030, tech companies are bankrolling new plants and even their own "shadow grid."

With billions invested and prototypes being tested outside the lab, the quantum era is starting to take shape.

Every week, we scour the web for important, insightful, and fascinating stories in science and technology.

Today's error-prone quantum computers are still far from practical. But a bold deadline could galvanize the field.

An AI system unearthed a trove of CRISPR-like proteins in minutes instead of weeks or months.

It's a step change in cybersecurity. Exploits that would take experts weeks to develop can now be generated in hours.

Brain twins where regions are allowed to compete for resources behave more like the real thing.
