Earlier this month, Light Bio announced the first continuously glowing plant, named the firefly petunia, is officially available for purchase in the US.

Google’s Gemma models were built and trained with the same technology used in Gemini, but the models are smaller and will be released under an open license.

The tech giant is now looking to a fund a new generation of robots by accelerating investments in startups combining AI and robotics.

Beyond video games, Google and OpenAI seem focused on algorithms that can simulate worlds—such algorithms may be better at planning and interaction.

The first polarized image of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole depicts a fiery whirlpool with magnetic field lines woven throughout.

The researchers think metafluids like theirs might be useful in robots, as “intelligent” shock absorbers, or in color-changing e-inks.

With Google Cloud, the Asteroid Foundation used newly developed software to scour 1.7 billion points of light in some 400,000 images taken over seven years.

A quantum internet would essentially be unhackable. A Harvard team of scientists recently took a noteworthy step toward building one.

MIT Media Lab’s Future You project invited young people, aged 18 to 30, to have a chat with AI simulations of themselves at 60.

The chatbot can field 10,000 conversations at once. Acting as a copilot for human politicians, AI could provide a more direct line to voters.

Simulations yielded a 179-fold speedup over the Frontier supercomputer. That means the chip could crunch a year’s work on a supercomputer into a few days.

Scientists discover new gene editing tools in bacterial "jumping genes" that can be modified to cut, paste, and flip any sequence of DNA.

One of the earliest large-scale projects for 3D-printed homes, a house can be printed in around three weeks with Icon's 3D printer and a single crew.

It's long been prophesied that modern cryptography will die at the hands of quantum computers. We're now entering the era of post-quantum cryptography.

Epoch AI outlined four big constraints to AI scaling: Power, chips, data, and latency. TLDR: Maintaining growth is technically possible, but not certain.

Commerical self-driving cars are no longer a fantasy. Tens of thousands of paying customers are trusting them for rides on congested city streets.

Ai2 new family of open-source AI models are competitive with state-of-the-art models like OpenAI's GPT-4o—but an order of magnitude smaller.

A recent video shows Atlas picking auto parts from one set of shelves and moving them over to another set, a job currently handled by factory workers.

Niantic hopes its new algorithm will become as fluent in the physical world as ChatGPT is in the world of language.

Last week, DeepSeek AI sent shivers down the spines of investors and tech companies. Now, two computer chip startups are drafting on those vibes.
