The problem is that as the screen moves closer to the human eye, the pixels that comprise it need to get smaller and smaller. Yet, if pixels get too small, their function starts to degrade and the image suffers.

In what could be an industry shifting breakthrough, researchers have created a screen about the size of a human pupil with a resolution that breaks through the limits of pixels.

Amazon has considered steps to improve its image as a “good corporate citizen” in preparation for the anticipated backlash around job losses, according to The NYT, reporting that the company considered participating in community projects and avoiding terms like “automation” and “AI.”

A new carbon capture approach is a simple modification to existing HVAC systems already installed in homes, offices, and factories.

The impact could massive, removing around 25 million tons of CO2 each year across the US and as much as 596 million tons globally.

This new convenience comes with costs most people haven’t thought about.

For three decades, the internet has worked the same way: You want something, you Google it, you compare options, you decide, you buy. You’re in control.

That era is ending.

As private industry and governments get closer to building useful quantum computers, the algorithms protecting Bitcoin wallets, encrypted web visits, and other sensitive secrets will be useless.

No one doubts the day will come, but as the now-common joke in cryptography circles observes, experts have been forecasting this cryptocalypse will arrive in the next 15 to 30 years for the past 30 years.

The complexity and problem-solving required for making the Signal Protocol quantum safe are as daunting as just about any in modern-day engineering.

A man paralyzed from the neck down is able to not only feel through another person’s hand, but control it as well.

This technology has the power to connect humans on entirely new levels with exciting possibilities in the medical field, and concerning ones outside of it.

The recent wave of deals and partnerships involving NVIDIA and OpenAI are escalating concerns that an increasingly complex and interconnected web of business transactions is artificially propping up the trillion-dollar AI boom.

Altman “has the power to crash the global economy for a decade or take us all to the promised land,” Stacy Rasgon, an analyst with Bernstein Research, wrote in an investor note this week. “Right now we don’t know which is in the cards.”

Will the AI bubble pop? What would be the consequences across industries?

Promising new Altzheimer's treatment—but will it break free of the infamous "graveyard of dreams?"

To state the obvious, mice are not people. Plenty of promising Alzheimer’s therapies in mice have faltered in clinical trials. More study is needed, but a similar approach might work in humans.

Have we finally solved AI hallucination?

Share this knowledge: This is the emerging playbook for designing safe, expert-level AI.

Crucially, this collective AI demonstrated self-correction capabilities—a massive step toward resolving the critical challenge of AI 'hallucinations' in high-stakes fields like medicine.

Is the future of human-level AI competence less about one superhuman model, and more about distributed, collaborative digital councils?

This knowledge could fundamentally change how we model cognition.

Research suggests that brain cells communicate through a mysterious "weave" of tunnels, much like the root network of trees in a forest. The ‘fourth pillar’ of brain communication potentially impacts Alzheimer’s and other diseases.

If our understanding of memory, creativity, and the self depends on this underlying network, how much of the human mind have we yet to discover?

Knowledge like this needs to be shared. Send this to someone who is curious about the future of the human mind.

This could be the ultimate decoupling of reproduction from biological constraint.

Could the entire reproductive process move into the lab, offering unprecedented freedom, control, and protection from the complications of human reproduction and birth?

The implications are exponential: solving infertility, improving healthspan, and gaining agency over our biological destiny.

AI can dream up an exponential amount of toxins and viruses that current biosecurity screening software can't detect.

It's vital that we anticipate the risks, envision ways to counter, & strengthen biosecurity software.
