Orbital data centers and factories will need a lot of energy. A Florida startup hopes to deliver it with lasers. Ambitious plans for orbital data centers and factories face a major problem—getting ...

Quantum computers could eventually solve scientific problems beyond the reach of conventional supercomputers, but today’s machines are too error-prone for practical work. The US Department of Energy ...

Tailoring cancer treatments is a science and an art. The same type of tumor can behave very differently from one person to the next, and a drug that works for one patient may fail in another. The ...

We're fixated on the intelligence of single agents. The more profound challenge is what happens when millions of them interact at scale. There is a temptation to divide the future of AI into two ...

Earlier this month, artificial intelligence researcher Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic after just four months. In an announcement on X, he stated: "The people building AI earnestly believe that it ...

Scientific research often depends on complex laboratory equipment that only specialists know how to use. But Anthropic is now rolling out a system that allows AI agents to control lab devices and ...

Atlases have long guided us through uncharted territory. Now, an AI-generated atlas by Google DeepMind seeks to do the same for the vast landscape of our DNA. Ever since the Human Genome Project, ...

Incumbents are racing to add AI to their organizations. The bigger challenge is competing with businesses designed around AI from day one. For many established companies, the AI conversation starts ...

A potentially safer, simpler way to create CAR T cells in the body could bring this powerful therapy to the masses. When the body goes to war on itself, it wreaks havoc. The immune system is one of ...

The system, designed by Stanford researchers, identified which drugs are more likely to succeed in trials and even proposed a cancer treatment a major drugmaker later landed on too. Developing a new ...

"Google’s interest sends a clear signal: Neutral atom quantum computing has arrived. And while it may not replace superconducting as the leading approach, the technology is primed to be a key player ...

"Multiple cameras tracked a mouse as it wandered around a small arena. A computer charted its position and speed, leaving Pong-like traces on a monitor. The reason to watch this rodent so carefully?
