The World Economic Forum just published its Future of Jobs Report 2023. In a proverbial nutshell, the message is that there will be divergent outcomes for global labor markets in 2023. High-income countries are slowing tight labor markets,…

In the second intrusion of 2023 and the ninth since 2018, T-Mobile was hacked, affecting 836 subscribers. It took more than a month for the company to discover the breach. The hack exposed: account PINs full names contact info…

AI apps need denser, more powerful computer chips. However, today’s semiconductor chips are made with boxy 3D structures, making stacking multiple layers of transistors to create dense integrations challenging. By using ultrathin 2D…

What happens to NASA satellites after their useful life is complete? One NASA satellite that saw solar flares and helped scientists understand the sun’s powerful bursts of energy fell to Earth this week, approximately 21 years after launch.…

Moderna and IBM are collaborating on generative artificial intelligence and quantum computing to advance mRNA technology at the core of the company’s Covid vaccine. Moderna will access IBM’s quantum computing systems and generative AI…

We know that quantum computing isn't based on the 1s and 0s of binary encoding. While quantum computers grew out of the binary system, physical systems that encode their quantum bits (qubits) have the potential also to encode quantum digits…

Toyota Motor North America today announced "Empact," a new vision to aid the transition of underserved communities to electrified mobility. Combining "environmental impact," focusing on the company's movements towards carbon neutrality, and…

A new quantum material with magnetic properties may pave the way for ultra-fast and considerably more energy-efficient computers and mobile devices. While these materials tend to work only in cold temperatures, a research team at Chalmers…

Imagine this: a biobattery fueled by the human gut. What about a battery that could work after 100 years? Sound like science fiction? It's not. Last year, researchers at Binghamton University and State University of New York published…

Mitsubishi has developed technology that detects serious physical conditions experienced by vehicle drivers, including loss of consciousness. The technology estimates pulse rate, changes in blood pressure, and other biometric data collected…
