As AGI talk sparks job loss fears, new WEF report projects AI-driven net job growth by 2030.

T-Mobile has announced the purchase of digital outdoor advertisement company Vistar Media.

Even once researchers can reliably get more power out of a fusion reaction than they put in, they’ll still need to overcome engineering challenges to scale up fusion energy.

Engineers have all the technology they need to make flying cars, but there are still some barriers to getting these sci-fi mainstays off the ground.

Metamaterials can reverse light’s path in time within nanoseconds, defying conventional physics.

There’s only a few things standing in our way.

Diamond, often celebrated for its unmatched hardness and transparency, has emerged as an exceptional material for high-power electronics and next-generation quantum optics. Diamond can be engineered to be as electrically conductive as a metal, by introducing impurities such as the element boron.

Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have now discovered another interesting property in diamonds with added boron, known as boron-doped diamonds.

Their findings could pave the way for new types of biomedical and quantum optical devices—faster, more efficient, and capable of processing information in ways that classical technologies cannot. Their results are published in Nature Communications.

Some quietly good things made an appearance at CES 2025, amidst the AI slush.

Adobe has added numerous features to its Firefly GenAI suite since its introduction in 2023. The latest update enables companies to adjust images in bulk – and when they say bulk they are claiming by the thousands, if necessary. Known as Firefly Bulk Create, this tool aims to accelerate advertising and messaging campaigns by making image alterations more efficient. While some critics worry that this technology might erode human artistry in advertising, Adobe’s press release promotes the new tools as a means to cut through tedious work.
