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.

The technology harnesses the brain's own blood chemistry to assemble soft, light-controlled electrodes around neurons.

A woman battling the conditions went from "two handfuls of pills" and blood transfusions daily to medication-free.

New technologies rarely leave work untouched. They also rarely eliminate the need for human contribution altogether.

Fewer than 10 people worldwide have eradicated the virus with stem cells. But this case was special—no one knew his brother's cells carried a protective mutation until transplant day.

New artificial neurons fire so realistically they can activate living brain cells in mouse tissue.

A new tool that tethers healthy mitochondria to ailing cells has shown promise in mice with inherited blindness.

That's a few minutes longer than it takes to fill up the average gas-powered car—but still fast enough it might not matter.

Every leader knows change is necessary. Few understand why their teams, their organizations, and even themselves keep resisting it. The answer isn't a lack of willpower or buy-in. It's biology. Our brains are wired…

A year after most robots failed to finish the Beijing race, nearly half the field autonomously ran a course of slopes, narrow passages, and 20 turns.

Algorithmic advances are steadily lowering the bar for quantum attacks—even before large-scale hardware exists.

AI long ago surpassed humans at games like chess and Go. Now it's powering robots that can challenge top athletes.

Imagination may have more to do with the brain activity it silences than the activity it creates.

Abilities taught to one robot don't usually work on another. With a new approach, it's one and done.
