New drugs are taking on the slippery molecular switches that fuel deadly cancers—and AI is speeding up the hunt.

Part of the Singularity Discussion Series.

Every AI interaction, satellite image, and cloud-based decision depends on physical infrastructure that most of us don’t often think about.

Data centers are the hidden backbone of the digital economy, and their…

While we still can't explain how AI works, algorithms are rapidly learning what makes us tick. And the gap is widening.

Why do we see AI chatbots as more than what they are, and how do we stop?

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

A tiny robot developed by Japan's space agency operated autonomously on the moon for more than 100 minutes and sent a series of images back to Earth.

The technology, still far from clinical use, could one day prevent devastating diseases. But critics warn that even these early results may also fuel interest in commercial embryo editing, despite unresolved ethical and safety concerns.

Scientists are exploring new algorithms, hardware, and computing methods to lower AI’s power demands. Strategic siting of data centers and other steps to increase green energy use are also key.

Coal’s share has nearly halved over the last five years, while solar's has more than doubled. But tariffs and permitting delays could slow growth in the years ahead.

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

An audacious trial will test psilocybin in people over age sixty to see if increases plasticity in healthy aging brains.

AI needs to focus more like we do.

There's a vast difference between launching satellites and operating an industrial-scale computing infrastructure in orbit.

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

Let loose on existing regulations, AI models sniffed out known loopholes—and exposed entirely new ones too.

Switches drive nearly every machine. A new one, made of folded DNA, does the same work at the scale of molecules.

A single observational case suggests psilocybin may ‘awaken’ cognitive reserve in dementia. But scientists caution controlled trials are needed to know if the drug was the cause.

The night sky seems eternal and unchanging. But in cosmic time, nothing could be further from the truth.

Similar concepts in different languages share an address in the brain.

Scientists used AI to find targets shared by thousands of related viruses and build what they hope is a universal vaccine.
