In a story that sounds like it came straight from a science fiction novel, 18-year-old Matteo Paz has stunned the astronomy world by discovering over 1.5 million previously unknown space objects — using artificial intelligence. With mentorship from Caltech and access to data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission, Matteo created a machine learning algorithm and compiled…
In a major biomedical breakthrough, researchers at the European Bioengineering Institute — a consortium funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe program — have successfully created synthetic blood that mimics the function and structure of human red blood cells. Published in Nature Biotechnology in April 2025, the discovery is poised to transform trauma care, blood…
With Donald Trump signalling a return to aggressive protectionist trade policies — including a proposed 10% universal tariff on all imports — U.S. businesses are already bracing for impact. While the 2024 election is months away, the private sector isn’t waiting around to prepare for a possible Trump 2.0 presidency. From reshoring supply chains to…
Space is harsh — and for astronauts, it\’s not just about surviving rocket launches or cosmic radiation. Microgravity causes bone loss, muscle atrophy, weakened immunity, and slower wound healing. As we prepare for deep-space missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, NASA and researchers are turning to an unlikely ally: nanotechnology. From tissue regeneration to…
When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the world braced for a conventional war. What unfolded, however, became a defining case study in how modern technology is transforming warfare. From drones and satellites to cyberattacks and AI-powered surveillance, the Ukraine-Russia war has turned into a digital battlefield unlike any seen before. This conflict isn\’t just about…
The global competition for 6G technology is already underway, even as 5G is still being rolled out in many parts of the world. With promises of ultra-low latency, speeds up to 100 times faster than 5G, and deeply integrated AI systems, 6G could redefine how societies connect, communicate, and compute. From smart cities to space-based…
The U.S.-China semiconductor war has emerged as one of the most critical global tech conflicts in recent history. No longer just components in your smartphone, semiconductors are now at the heart of a power struggle that spans national security, artificial intelligence, and economic dominance. This escalating battle over chips has deepened with new export controls,…
Once the stuff of science fiction, Mars colonization is now a serious goal—and private companies are leading the charge. SpaceX, Blue Origin, and other aerospace startups have shifted the space exploration narrative from distant government projects to agile, innovation-driven missions. With reusable rockets, ambitious Mars-bound spacecraft, and long-term visions of interplanetary life, these companies are…
As the world becomes increasingly digitized, so does diplomacy. The rise of real-time communication, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and data-driven strategy is transforming how countries engage with one another. The traditional face-to-face negotiations in ornate conference halls are now often complemented—or even replaced—by virtual summits and encrypted chat rooms. This shift marks the beginning of a…
The biotech sector in the United States is experiencing a renaissance, with startups leading the charge. From revolutionary gene-editing tools to AI-driven drug discovery, U.S. biotech startup breakthroughs are not just reshaping healthcare—they\’re offering new hope for diseases once deemed incurable. Fueled by venture capital, university research, and a surge in computational biology, these startups…
