Futurism

Four decades ago, our civilization seemed to stand on the brink of a great transformation. The Cold War had stoked around 35 years of every-intensifying developments, including but not limited to the Space Race.

This technology has the potential to transform electronic gadgets by eliminating the need for charges and portable power banks.

As AI uses more electricity, new data centres could have their own nuclear power stations.

An 11-year-old boy with congenital deafness can now hear sounds after he received groundbreaking gene therapy.

Simon Thomas knew the periodic table by heart at six. Now the Cambridge firm’s co-founder is putting his scientific brain behind graphene’s power to help us compete with China

A fast-rising diner would double as a Supercharger station.

Humane’s AI wearable is here — but what is it for?

Solar energy costs have fallen 90 per cent over the last decade, while new discoveries have seen efficiency rates rise

Passkeys are beginning to make their way into popular apps, from password managers to multi-factor authenticators, but what exactly are they? As this new technology promises to make passwords a thing of the past, Neal Fennimore explains the concepts behind passkeys, demonstrates how they work, and speculates what we might expect from them in the future.

Meta researchers developed a system to generate reconstructions of images based on human brain activity. It is imperfect, but a breakthrough.

“Plunging into the ocean is awful. Landing on a runway is really nice."

Musk wants X to replace YouTube, LinkedIn, FaceTime, dating apps, and even your bank.

Scientists in China claim they were able to give deaf children the ability to hear after a novel genetic treatment.

More than 15,000 scientists have signed onto a paper warning that the climate may collapse by the end of this century if we don't fix it now.

The UK's foremost astronomer is cautioning that if and when we encounter aliens, they may be more artificially intelligent than we expect.

Musk wants your “entire financial life” on his platform.

Holograms are getting better and cheaper and some think soon they will be everywhere.

"This opens up an entirely new avenue of treatment."

About a month after his surgery, a man who received a genetically modified pig heart has no sign of rejection or infection.

Still a novelty, but one that people might actually use.

Acting on Jakob Nielsen’s stunning prediction of AI being the future of UX

Based on a 36-pages long research paper titled “Design in the age of Artificial Intelligence”; designing problem solving loops not specific solutions and 3 levels of ML in Netflix.

Probably not. And here is why.

Solar power is set to become the dominant energy source in the world by 2050, surpassing even fossil fuels if current trends continue.

The development of humanoid robots has ramped up sharply; in the past six months, we've seen a half-dozen different designs. Aesthetically speaking, they're all over the place. These two seem designed by engineers just trying to get the thing to work:

Bonn (Germany) The Bonn-based company High Performance Battery (HPB) has achieved a decisive breakthrough in battery and storage technology: a team led by...

A recent study published in Nature Geoscience uses supercomputer climate models to examine how a supercontinent, dubbed Pangea Ultima (also called Pangea Proxima), that will form 250 million years from now will result in extreme temperatures, making this new supercontinent uninhabitable for life, specifically mammals. This study was conducted by an international team of researchers … Continue reading "In 250 Million Years, a Single Supercontinent will Form, Wiping Out Nearly all Mammals"

Apple had to abandon development on the AR glasses, so that setback was reportedly felt by the company’s CEO Tim Cook

AI researchers at Stanford developed autonomous robot dogs with AI brains.

Tech companies are creating personal AI devices, but creating a true iPhone successor won't be easy.
