NIST finalized its first post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024. Here is what they specify, why the harvest-now-decrypt-later threat is already real, and the concrete steps IT teams need to take before quantum computers arrive.
Wi-Fi 7 promises multi-gigabit speeds and dramatically lower latency, but the real gains depend on hardware and use cases most homes do not have yet. Here is an honest look at what 802.11be actually delivers today.
Ethereum's bet on rollups as its primary scaling strategy has reshaped the entire ecosystem. Here is an honest assessment of where that bet has paid off, where it has fallen short, and what the next phase of the roadmap looks like.
After years of soldered-on RAM, a new memory module standard is making it possible to upgrade memory in slim laptops again — without sacrificing the power efficiency that drove soldering in the first place.
Sparse activation architectures let models scale to hundreds of billions of parameters without proportionally scaling compute. Here is why that changes who can build and run frontier AI.
The US health data market is larger, more detailed, and more consequential than most people realize. BetterHelp shared therapy data with Facebook. GoodRx shared prescriptions with ad networks. The 23andMe bankruptcy raised alarms about 15 million DNA profiles. Here's how the industry actually works and what legal protections exist.
The first significant wave of end-of-life EV batteries is arriving. Redwood Materials, Li-Cycle, Umicore, and others are competing to build the closed-loop supply chains that could reduce EV battery dependence on Chinese material processing — but the technical and financial challenges are harder than the pilots suggested.
Perseverance has been caching Martian rock samples since 2021. Getting them back is the top priority in planetary science. But an independent review found the original mission architecture could cost $11 billion and slip to 2040 — triggering a fundamental redesign that is still in progress.
GPU rendering, AI-assisted commands, block-based session management, Lua configuration — the terminal emulator landscape in 2026 has more interesting options than it has had in decades. Here's what each major project actually offers and how to choose.
Aging biology has moved from philosophy to molecular targets. Senolytics are clearing senescent cells in human trials, Altos Labs began safety testing in 2025, and epigenetic clocks can now measure how fast you're aging — not just how old you are.
France backed Mistral with €109M. Saudi Arabia committed $100B+. The UAE's G42 landed $1.5B from Microsoft. Sovereign AI isn't about beating OpenAI — it's about data jurisdiction, strategic insurance, and not depending on American infrastructure for national functions.
For 60 years, industrial robots were too expensive and too complex for most manufacturers. Collaborative robots changed that. Here's what cobots are, what they cost, where they work — and what the payback period actually looks like.
