Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical computers on some advanced tasks. These systems rely on qubits, the fundamental units of quantum information, that become linked…
A copper-based agent complex kills cancer cells in a novel way. It receives its activation signal through light. It could help where existing chemotherapy treatments reach their limits.
Cuproptosis was discovered in 2022. It…
Most wearable devices can’t run AI models locally. They’re too power-hungry to run on the device itself, so data is typically sent to the cloud for processing. But new processors may change that.
Ambient Scientific is among the companies…
The signs that AI could lead to mass job displacement are already piling up: entry-level job postings in the U.S. have sunk 35% since 2023, mass layoffs have swept across Big Tech, and even AI leaders themselves are warning about what’s…
Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren and Republican senator Josh Hawley are urging the US’s central energy information agency to provide better information on how much electricity data centers actually use.

For the first time ever, an image of a Roman woman battling a beast in an arena has been identified.
While ancient texts say that some women battled beasts in the arenas of the Roman Empire, this is the first visual evidence that this occurred,…
The Cambridge-based AI company, founded by a former Amazon Alexa research scientist, builds a self-learning economic map that models companies as multidimensional entities rather than forcing them into a single…
In February, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive scientific opinion on acoziborole, the first single-dose treatment for both early and late stage sleeping sickness, paving the way for registration and distribution in…
Researchers developed an air-breakdown triboelectric nanogenerator that harvests skin static electricity to power ultrathin keyboards and remote controls without batteries.
Researchers in Korea have unveiled a breakthrough in smart materials that could transform space, robotics and deployable structures.
The Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) team developed a two-way shape memory hybrid…
