In the next 10 years, key technologies will converge to completely disrupt the five foundational sectors—information, energy, food, transportation, and materials—that underpin our global economy. We need to make sure the disruption benefits everyone.

For the first time, my colleagues and I have built a single electronic device that is capable of copying the functions of neuron cells in a brain. We then connected 20 of them together to perform a complicated calculation. ...

Terms such as ‘Artificial Intelligence’ or ‘Neurotechnology’ were new some time not so long ago. We can’t evolve faster than our language does.

This is the first time ever in my life that I felt frightened while writing a story on Medium. Then, I proofread it and I started sweating all of sudden. Find out for yourself and let me know how you…

With the development and refinement of the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) Cas9 gene-editing technology, medical science is on the cusp of a new era in which embryonic gene treatments could potentially wipe out heartbreaking and deadly birth defects and hereditary disease.

D-Wave Systems has released a Quantum Annealer with over 5000 qubits. They have over 250 applications that can be run on the system. The chip uses over 1 million superconducting Josephson junctions. V

For decades, Moore's Law held that the number of transistors on a microchip would double every 18 months or so. But physics has gotten in the way. Now: our tech columnist Christopher Mims argues that we should be observing a new law, which he's calling Huang's Law - named for Jensen Huang, C.E.O. and cofounder of Nvidia. Amanda Lewellyn hosts. Kateri Jochum is the executive producer of WSJ podcasts.

Chimpanzees in volatile habitats have evolved to behave more flexibly – and it could help them to weather climate change

We all want to know how to live longer, but is a prolonged life a healthy, happy one? One Vogue writer looks at the science that says it might be possible.

Sociologist Prof. Steve Fuller shares his thoughts on transhumanism as a science-based religion, the value of taking a death-based approach to life, and why Friedrich Nietzsche is the futurist we need today.

Artificial intelligence (AI) experts at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the Baylor College of Medicine report that they have successfully addressed what they call a "major, long-standing obstacle to increasing ...

IBM today, for the first time, published its road map for the future of its quantum computing hardware. There is a lot to digest here, but the most important news in the short term is that the company believes it is on its way to building a quantum processor with more than 1,000 qubits — […]

Unlike somatic gene editing, which changes the DNA of adult cells, germline editing is far more controversial in that subsequent edits are inherited.

These top longevity books for 2020 will help you understand the science, investment, and theory behind the quest to slow and reverse aging.

Decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization must accelerate to prevent emissions bouncing back to pre-COVID levels.

Strange gas in the clouds of Venus cannot be explained by any known non-biological formation mechanism, so it may be a sign that there are living organisms there

Astronomers have detected a stinky gas on Venus called phosphine, and weirdly enough, it could be a sign of alien life in the planet’s clouds. It’s still too early to say for sure that Venus hosts life forms, but the discovery opens up a lot of questions about what’s happening on Earth’s neighbor.

Back in July, OpenAI’s latest language model, GPT-3, dazzled with its ability to churn out paragraphs that look as if they could have been written by a human. People started showing off how GPT-3 could also autocomplete code or fill in blanks in spreadsheets. In one example, Twitter employee Paul Katsen tweeted “the spreadsheet function…

Emerging brain-computer interface technologies may be used to monitor a soldier's cognitive workload, control a drone swarm, or link with a prosthetic, but policy, safety, legal, and ethical issues must be evaluated first.

OpenAI's GPT-3 transcends the definition of narrow AI. It doesn't qualify as general AI, but it's the first clear sign that we've begun the shift.

Cool research tool? Definitely. A way to remotely control a computer or a prosthetic? Sure. But reading minds and storing memories? Not so fast.

And scuttles any possibility that we might ever escape.

The pandemic is finally opening the eyes of many Americans to the profoundly unfree and illiberal nature of their jobs.
