A New Theory Could Finally Make Quantum Gravity a Reality—and Prove Einstein Wrong
Researchers propose a radical approach to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity. The theory may lead to the elusive goal of quantum gravity and challenge Einstein’s well-established framework.
Why Medical Device Companies Should Be Bullish on AI
In the history of medical technology, there have been very few moments where the economics, the technology, and the clinical need all align. AI may be one of those moments. The MedTech industry is built on engineering. For decades, we’ve improved outcomes by making things more precise: better sensors, more efficient power systems, enhanced mechanical reliability. But AI introduces a different kind of precision—one that doesn’t rely on physical refinement, but on contextual intelligence.
Swarms of Tiny Nose Robots Could Clear Infected Sinuses
Swarms of tiny robots, each no larger than a speck of dust, could be deployed to cure stubborn infected sinuses before being blown out through the nose into a tissue, researchers have claimed
Deaf Teen Gains Hearing After Gene Therapy Breakthrough
Two patients born deaf gained the ability to hear thanks to a groundbreaking gene therapy, marking a major milestone in hearing restoration and precision medicine.
Graphene Sensor Mimics Human Flavor Perception
A new sensor made from graphene mimics the human tongue’s ability to distinguish subtle flavor notes, opening doors for food safety, robotics, and sensory tech.
10 Ways Family Offices Are Reinventing Themselves
Family offices are shifting strategy in 2025—focusing more on direct investments, venture capital, and next-gen leadership integration.
Sporks of AGI
While authentic real-world data has always been preferred for visual perception and NLP, when it comes to agents – and robotic agents in particular (e.g., VLAs), – there is an irresistible urge to figure out how to use something else, some sort of surrogate data that can be obtained on the cheap but still provide the kind of broad generalization we expect from foundation models.

Our Cyborg Future is Here
Meeting the team at PSYONIC, the minds behind one of the world’s most advanced robotic hands. It’s strong enough to break a board, sensitive enough to hold a raspberry, and affordable enough to actually reach the people who need it. We even got to test it out ourselves—and get a first-hand look (literally) at the future of bionic limbs. But here’s the twist: PSYONIC didn’t just build this for humans. They’re also building it for robots - and that might make more of a difference than you think!
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions than You
Daniel Kahneman won the Nobel Prize for proving we're not as rational as we think. In this timeless conversation we discuss how to think clearly in a world full of noise, the invisible forces that cloud our judgement, and why more information doesn't equal better thinking. Kahneman also reveals the mental model he discovered at 22 that still guides elite teams today.

Eqlipse Quantum Chief Executive Officer Scott Faris breaks down the quantum technology use cases that are on the horizon and the opportunities they present. He highlights how these advancements could reshape industries and enhance global security while addressing the sector's challenges.
Scottie Scheffler’s Press Conference
The result of all Scheffler’s winning and thinking is that he gave us the latest entry in a very specific genre: “great athlete wondering what it’s all for.”
Adam Neumann: This is How You Build Iconic Companies
On this episode of The Ben & Marc Show, a16z co-founders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz sit down with Adam Neumann—founder of WeWork and now, Flow—to unpack one of the most unlikely comeback stories in tech. What began as a personal reckoning after a very public fall has become a bold new vision for how we live and belong. Flow isn’t just a real estate company—it’s an operating system for community, built on first-principles software, design, and soul.
