No, itâs not forbidden to innovate, quite the opposite, but itâs always risky to do something different from what people are used to. Risk is the middle name of the bold, the builders of the future. Those who constantly face resistance from skeptics. Those who fail eight times and get up nine.

Fernando Pessoaâs âFirst you find it strange. Then you canât get enough of it.â contained intolerable toxicity levels for Salazarâs Estado Novo (Portugal). When the level of difference increases, censorship follows. You canât censor censorship (or can you?) when, deep down, itâs a matter of fear of difference. Yes, itâs fear! Fear of accepting/facing the unknown. Fear of change.
In a major breakthrough, scientists have created time crystals which continuously and repeatedly change their state over time, without either absorbing or dissipating any energy, thus becoming true perpetual motion machines.
UK-based architecture firm AL_A has collaborated with Canadian energy firm General Fusion to develop the worldâs first magnetized target fusion facility on the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) campus in Culham, United Kingdom. The energy firm wanted to âtransform how the world is energized by replicating the process that powers the sun and starsâ. AL_Aâs design proposes a first-of-its-kind facility with open spaces and see-through partitions that provides innovative carbon-free energy solutions.
The Fusion Demonstration Plant (FDP) will be a highly-efficient building that captures the technological advantage of fusion to solve global energy problems. The reactor will take on a symbolic form, sitting in the middle of a circular viewing platform. In addition to state-of-the-art facilities, the building will include gathering and exhibition areas for visitors of all ages.
Daniel Korsunâs undergraduate career at MIT
MIT is an acronym for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is a prestigious private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts that was founded in 1861. It is organized into five Schools: architecture and planning; engineering; humanities, arts, and social sciences; management; and science. MITâs impact includes many scientific breakthroughs and technological advances.
New CEO Pat Gelsinger says a âtorridâ pace of innovation helped convince Amazon and Qualcomm to pay Intel to build future processors.
Intel is matching foundry rival, TSMC, node-for-node with its new process naming convention, but has also fired the first shot in the race for sub-nanometer terminology. Below 1nm, weâre moving into what itâs now calling the âangstrom era of semiconductorsâ.
At the Intel Accelerated event CEO, Pat Gelsinger, has unveiled a detailed process roadmap for its future nodes, all tied into a new way to reference them. âWe are accelerating our innovation roadmap to ensure we are on a clear path to process performance leadership by 2025,â he says.
The Facebook CEO talks to Casey Newton about why he is putting his companyâs resources toward the âmetaverse,â a future that imagines an internet that combines physical, augmented, and virtual realities.
3D Printing is gaining more momentum and popularity than ever! Designers and architects all over the world are now adopting 3D Printing for the creation of almost all types of products and structures. Itâs a technique that is being widely utilized in product design, owing to its simple and innovative nature. But designers arenât employing 3D printing only to create basic models, theyâre utilizing this technique in mind-blowing ways as well! From 3D printed artificial coral reefs to a menacing two-wheeler design with 3D printed bodywork, the scope of this dependable technique is unlimited! Dive into this collection of humble yet groundbreaking 3D printed designs!
Manipulating RNA can allow plants to yield dramatically more crops, as well as increasing drought tolerance, announced a group of scientists from the University of Chicago, Peking University and Guizhou University.
In initial tests, adding a gene encoding for a protein called FTO to both rice and potato plants increased their yield by 50% in field tests. The plants grew significantly larger, produced longer root systems and were better able to tolerate drought stress. Analysis also showed that the plants had increased their rate of photosynthesis.
âThe change really is dramatic,â said University of Chicago Prof. Chuan He, who together with Prof. Guifang Jia at Peking University, led the research. âWhatâs more, it worked with almost every type of plant we tried it with so far, and itâs a very simple modification to make.â
