World's fastest internet speed from a single optical chip

Researchers have successfully tested and recorded Australia's fastest internet data speed, and that of the world, from a single optical chip - capable of downloading 1000 high definition movies in a split second.

A World-Class Supercomputer Exclusively for OpenAI

Last year, Microsoft announced a billion-dollar investment in OpenAI. This year the company said they’d completed a supercomputer exclusively for OpenAI’s machine learning research.

New Microscope Directly Images Protein Atoms

Two laboratories recently used cryo-electron microscopy to directly image atoms in a protein molecule with a resolution of about 1.2 x 10-7 millimeters.

Elon Musk says Neuralink will do brain implants 'within a year'

Elon Musk has a vision of linking human brains to computers in order to avoid our species from being outpaced by artificial intelligence – and this dream is set to become a reality.

First Working Prototype Of A 'Quantum Radar'

The device works along the same principles as a normal radar, except instead of sending out radio waves to scan an area, it uses pairs of entangled photons. 

China's first set of 3D printing tests in space

China’s first in-orbit 3D printing test involved producing continuous carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites. This is the first time this has been done in space by anyone.

The World's Biggest Social Virtual Reality Gathering

Virtual Market 4, or V-Ket 4 for short, is a Japanese expo that spans 36 separate worlds contained within the VRChat ecosystem. To date, VRChat is by far the most popular and used social VR application.

Possible Practical Quantum Computers

Most quantum computers being developed around the world will only work at fractions of a degree above absolute zero. Now the researchers developed a quantum processor unit cell that works at 1.5 Kelvin.

Tesla's ventilator made out of car parts

Tesla has released a new video about the progress it is making in its effort to produce ventilators out of car parts. Hospitals around the world are finding themselves in need of ventilators to help save patients.

Stratolaunch Shows Off its New Hypersonic Testing Vehicle

Stratolaunch has revealed the designs of two hypersonic aircraft plus a reusable space plane that will be launched from its giant Carrier Aircraft launch plane. The company hopes to begin test flights of these vehicles by 2022.

Future of Work

The future of technological employment comes down to a key challenge of human-machine collaboration.

3D Printing of Body Parts Is Coming Fast

In the last few years, the use of 3D printing has exploded in medicine. Engineers and medical professionals now routinely 3D print prosthetic hands and surgical tools. But 3D printing has only just begun to transform the field.

The world's fastest camera

Wang, Bren has developed a new camera that can take up to 1 trillion pictures per second of transparent objects. The camera technology can take video also of more ephemeral things like shockwaves and possibly even of the signals that travel through neurons.

Scientists create an empathic robot

Japanese scientists have created a robot that can "feel" pain. Scientists hope that the pain sensors will help robots to develop empathy for humans and to act as compassionate companions.

Scientists Create First Ever Living, Programmable Organism

A remarkable combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and biology has produced the world’s first “living robots”. Xenobots are less than 1 millimeter long and are made of 500-1,000 living cells. Using their own cellular energy, they can live up to 10 days.
