When Sam Altman, CEO and cofounder of OpenAI, was asked about the future his children will inherit, his answer was both provocative and revealing. “My kids will never be smarter than AI,” he said. Yet, he added, they will grow up “vastly more capable” precisely because of their fluency with AI tools. “They will just never know any other world,” Altman noted. “It will seem totally natural… unthinkable that we used to use computers or phones or any kind of technology that wa

The college admissions process has never been simple. Essays, standardized tests, extracurriculars, recommendation letters—each piece is a puzzle that high school students and their families work tirelessly to solve. But today, a new force is reshaping the rules of the game: artificial intelligence.

In the heart of global innovation, where fortunes are built on algorithms and moonshot visions, Silicon Valley has cultivated not just a new economy—but a new aesthetic. The attire of its executives has become emblematic of the Valley’s ethos: anti-establishment, hyper-functional, and deeply intentional. Yet, the style of a Silicon Valley executive is far from thoughtless. Beneath the plain T-shirts and minimalist sneakers lies a carefully curated uniform.

In the rapidly evolving world of Industry 4.0, digital twin technology has emerged as a transformative force—creating real-time, virtual replicas of physical environments to enable smarter, faster, and more adaptive operations. But while digital twins have become a buzzword, truly intelligent, AI-powered twins that can simulate, learn, and control physical systems in both directions—real-to-sim and sim-to-real—are still rare. That’s where MetAI stands out.

Imagine running, cycling, or swimming while real-time GPS navigation, immersive video, and music appear seamlessly before your eyes—super lightweight, super bright, and with extended battery life. That’s the future that Lipro Vision, a Taiwanese startup, is building with its innovative Mobile Smart Windows (MSW) platform. Designed specifically for near-eye wearable devices, Lipro Vision’s solution enhances sports performance and outdoor activity with effortless connectivity a

For over a century, surgical pathology has relied on a rigid, manual workflow: rapidly freezing tissue, slicing it into thin sections, mounting it on glass slides, staining it with dyes, and examining it under a microscope. While effective, this process is slow, labor-intensive, and often destructive—consuming valuable clinical specimens in the process.

In an age where power is shrinking to the size of a pixel, China’s National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) has unveiled a breakthrough that feels more like science fiction than statecraft. In June 2025, NUDT revealed a nearly microscopic military drone—designed to mimic the flight, scale, and stealth of a mosquito. This innovation marks a dramatic step forward in the global drone arms race and opens a new chapter in covert surveillance and asymmetric warfare.

In today’s competitive manufacturing landscape, integrating industrial robots has become essential. Yet, the process often remains cumbersome, requiring specialized programming, complex setup, and slow iteration. Holon Robotics, a young med-tech startup based in Hsinchu, Taiwan, is completely changing this story. They’ve built HolonOS, an intelligent platform that unifies robots, sensors, and AI—enabling zero-programming automation through intuitive, app-like deployment and a
