Researchers at Oregon State University have created a 3D-printable concrete substitute that reaches structural strength in just three days instead of the typical four weeks. The material uses hemp fibers, biochar, and a unique binding agent that triggers curing immediately upon printing. It could dr
Huawei’s latest tablet uses a sophisticated two-phase vapor chamber and liquid cooling film to achieve impressive thermal performance. This allows its chipset to sustain a 28W power limit without throttling. Apple might be looking at similar cooling solutions for the next iPad Pro.
Researchers at Dresden University of Technology are challenging classical thermodynamics with experiments on human cells. They found that living systems exhibit unique properties that current physics laws can’t fully explain. This could lead to a fourth law of thermodynamics specifically for biologi
Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft faces another setback as NASA orders it to fly empty on its next mission. This comes after the capsule’s numerous problems left two astronauts stuck aboard the International Space Station for more than nine months. Engineers continue investigating thruster issues that p
President Trump’s Genesis Mission executive order creates a closed-loop AI platform connecting 17 national labs and federal supercomputers. The ambitious project compares itself to the Manhattan Project but provides no cost estimates or funding details, raising questions about potential subsidies fo
Cutting-edge research reveals language is primarily a communication tool, not the source of human intelligence. Yet the entire AI industry is betting billions that scaling language models will lead to superintelligence by 2026. The science suggests they’re fundamentally mistaken.
Researchers found glutathionylated DNA adducts accumulate at levels 80 times higher in mitochondrial DNA than nuclear DNA. These “sticky” lesions make DNA rigid and disrupt energy production. The discovery could reshape our understanding of diseases from cancer to diabetes.
The most dangerous system failures aren’t technical breakdowns but conceptual ones. As organizations race to digitize everything, many systems work efficiently while forgetting their original purpose and ethical commitments.
Meta conducted research in 2020 that showed users felt better mentally after deactivating Facebook for a week. The company then terminated the study and didn’t share findings with Congress despite claiming it had no evidence of harm to teens.
Eurozone banks are launching EUR-denominated stablecoins while regulators scramble to catch up. Meanwhile, agentic AI promises to transform balance sheet management just as traditional deposits face potential migration to CBDCs.
