The modern cell is like a Dreamliner, Adamala said, referring to the Boeing 787 airplane. We built a Wright flyer… the first bike frame with wings that flies 100 feet.

It left him with a core wound, and an animating question familiar to many superheroes: Is the universe a fundamentally safe place, or a fundamentally unsafe place? I don't say it's unsafe, but the world has always felt foreign to me.

Jedag-jedug reveals how global technologies are continually reinterpreted to serve local needs. Arranger keyboards engineered by multinational giants like Yamaha take on entirely new meanings the moment they enter Indonesian village parties.

The shingle-matrix approach represents a fundamental departure from traditional photovoltaic module construction, in which solar cells are cut into narrow strips and then arranged in a shingle-like pattern—overlapping and offset from one another—and connected using electrically conductive adhesives.

A group of fewer than 1,000 people made a series of horrible decisions, and the whole industry is paying for it.

But while each of the remaining 194 countries can indeed claim to be less than 5% of the problem, together they are responsible for just under half of humanity's yearly emissions.

In hardware, ambition, and in price, AR glasses are really moving this year, and a lot faster than you might expect. That's not to say that they're going to sell tons of units, or turn the computing world upside down, or kill the smartphone, but it's clear the time for sophisticated AR glasses is nigh.

Google no longer collects this information in a way that is susceptible to geofence warrants, and, more importantly, Apple never did.

He was referring to one of the couple's most strongly held—and counterintuitive—beliefs: that AI can actually help free us from technological exploitation. As they see it, the past two decades of social media—the selfies, the influencer worship, the addictive apps—have pushed humanity in terribly stupid directions.

There's this deep mystery there, which is: but what actually is this thing? We have a very literal answer, but the literal answer doesn't seem to necessarily provide a moral answer.

Growing up doesn't stop at adulthood. Developmental psychologist Robert Kegan proposed that the way we make meaning keeps reorganizing itself throughout life. Each reorganization follows the same move: something you could only be becomes something you can see. What was subject becomes object, and a larger self forms around it.

The opportunity is to build what HFTs built for markets, but for the physical world: native-resolution data collection, representations that match the geometry of physical signals rather than forcing them through linguistic pipelines, and ultimately market infrastructure through which better physical intelligence becomes executable financial positions.

This is the real magic of Resident. Once you have it all set up, you just type: /create-app 'a tic-tac-toe game' and three seconds later, you've got it running on your device – WITHOUT having to flash new firmware or plug it in or even … do anything but wish it to be so.

For the first time, we've reconstructed the AI economy from the bottom up, capturing every real dollar of customer demand, no double-counting. The AI economy is bigger and faster than any technology wave before it, yet still small enough to be early. It's (just) covering the infrastructure bill. What happens next depends on how fast demand grows as prices fall and how much real intelligence each token delivers.

A remake of a Nintendo 64 game, Star Fox is an on-rails shooter, with tightly choreographed action and spectacular set-pieces. This more linear structure has let the game's designers craft what is perhaps the best-looking game yet for the Switch 2.

Building new high-voltage transmission lines and infrastructure to connect low-carbon energy to the grid in the 2030s was initially forecast by the energy system operator to cost £58bn. Updated forecasts from the National Energy System Operator (Neso) now recommend network investments of £89bn could be needed to deliver the government's clean power targets while meeting the country's rising demand for electricity, including from datacentres.

We are introducing and open sourcing LongCat-2.0, a large-scale MoE language model with 1.6 trillion total parameters and ~48 billion activated per token — a substantial step up from previous LongCat models, accompanied by several architectural improvements.

Its Rutherford engines are the first electric-pump-fed engine to power an orbital-class rocket. Electron is often flown with a kickstage or Rocket Lab's Photon spacecraft. Although the rocket was designed to be expendable, Rocket Lab has recovered the first stage twice and is working towards the capability of reusing the booster.

It merges Rocket Lab's leading launch capabilities and satellite manufacturing with Iridium's global satellite communications network, spectrum, and 500-plus strong partner ecosystem to create a competitive, vertically-integrated space company that designs, builds, launches, and operates its own constellations, delivering critical communications capability to millions of users worldwide.

That means we would need to open a brand new geological waste site somewhere on the planet every four days for the next 25 years. Every site would need constant monitoring for decades to ensure the CO2 doesn't leak. Even if this could be done, it would cost tens of trillions of dollars.
