For more than a century, the practice of pathology has followed a rigid, manual process: slicing tissue into thin sections, placing it on glass slides, staining it with dyes, and examining it under a microscope. While reliable, this method is slow, labor-intensive, and often destructive—consuming valuable clinical specimens in the process. In an era where speed, precision, and data integration are becoming the new gold standards in medicine, this workflow no longer meets the

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.

Fibrosis is the hidden driver behind a range of chronic, life-threatening conditions — and a frontier in urgent need of innovation. In diseases like pulmonary fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, and heart failure, fibrosis is what transforms treatable inflammation into irreversible damage. It is a process where the body’s healing mechanisms spiral out of control, laying down excess scar tissue that hardens and suffocates otherwise healthy organs.

We’ve reached a defining moment in the arc of artificial intelligence. AI is no longer a futuristic concept or a niche capability.

In the global fight against infectious diseases, few threats loom larger than antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Once-reliable antibiotics are losing their effectiveness, and healthcare systems around the world are struggling to keep pace. The challenge isn’t just about developing new drugs—it’s also about knowing, with speed and certainty, which treatments will work for each patient. In this space, diagnostic speed can mean the difference between life and death.

The future of global connectivity depends on more than just faster wireless speeds — it requires smarter, greener, and more cost-efficient network infrastructure. That’s exactly where Taiwan’s Ranictek is making waves.

The next wave of artificial intelligence isn’t confined to massive server farms or locked behind complicated cloud platforms. It’s happening at the edge — directly inside factories, hospitals, financial institutions, and even on portable devices. Thanks to a breakthrough from Taiwanese startup Avalanche Computing, this future is no longer theoretical — it’s here.

For centuries, humans have gazed at their pets and wondered: What is my cat really trying to say? Thanks to artificial intelligence, we may finally be getting answers — not just for cats, but for whales, bees, meerkats, and more.

In June 2024, Chinese urologist Dr. Zhang Xu made history—performing the world’s first transcontinental remote prostatectomy,...

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently released one of the first peer-reviewed studies to measure the neurological impact of generative AI on the human brain. Using fMRI brain scans to track cognitive engagement, the researchers explored how users interact with ChatGPT while performing creative writing tasks. The results? Alarming.

As humanity stretches its gaze beyond Earth, one startup in the UK may hold the key to dramatically accelerating our voyage through space. Enter Pulsar Fusion, a Bletchley-based aerospace innovator aiming to revolutionize spaceflight with its Sunbird rocket—powered by the company’s patented Dual Direct Fusion Drive (DDFD).

For the first time ever, researchers at Japan’s Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) have programmed a drone to trigger real lightning strikes by firing precision electric pulses into storm clouds  . This isn’t just a gadget—it’s a flying lightning rod, completely encased in a Faraday cage that withstands surges up to 150 kA.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping childhood experiences, transforming traditional education and play into entirely new paradigms. While AI promises efficiency and convenience, leading child psychologists and educators emphasize the necessity of reevaluating what children learn to ensure their success in an AI-driven future.

In an era defined by rapid technological progress, innovations increasingly blur the boundaries between nature and technology. A groundbreaking example emerges from China, where researchers from Wuhan University have introduced a remarkable robotic fish into the waters of the Yangtze River. While this advanced machine doesn't exactly pit human intelligence against artificial intelligence, it intriguingly sets up a comparison of "Real Fish vs. Robotic Fish".

Breast cancer remains one of the most common and potentially devastating diseases affecting women globally. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), breast cancer accounted for 2.3 million new cases and approximately 685,000 deaths worldwide in 2020 alone. Every year, millions of women face the daunting challenge of breast cancer, highlighting the urgent need for reliable, accurate, and timely detection methods.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology and innovation, many notable tech visionaries and startup founders are applying their creativity and insight not only in their professional endeavors but also in their approaches to parenting. Let’s explore how three distinguished tech leaders—Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates—have uniquely taught their children, illuminating scientifically backed methods that parents can adopt.

Japan is pioneering a groundbreaking use of AI powered drones to dramatically accelerate reforestation, enabling forests to be planted up to

In early June 2024, the world witnessed a stunning turn in the war between Ukraine and Russia. But beyond the headlines and satellite imagery, this operation did more than damage military assets—it gave us a clear look into the next chapter of technological warfare.

The Human Spark in a Tech-Driven World In Silicon Valley boardrooms and living rooms alike, one trait is emerging as the ultimate...

The highly anticipated Sparknify Human vs. AI Film Festival concluded dramatically on Saturday, May 17, 2025, announcing this year’s award winners during the Human vs. AI Award Gala at Plug and Play Tech Center in Silicon Valley. The festival showcased 14 finalist short films — half created by traditional filmmakers, half generated by AI —all judged blindly by a prestigious international jury with no knowledge of the creators’ identities.
