Scientists have developed a new way to change the internal structure of glass while it is being made, giving them greater control over properties such as magnetism and the way the material interacts with light. The discovery could open the door to advanced glasses with capabilities that were previously difficult or impossible to achieve. The breakthrough comes from a collaboration… […]
This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. Texas was the new epicenter of the AI data center buildout. That might be kaput. Texas is the fastest-growing data center market in the US and ground zero for Big Tech’s largest AI buildouts. But the… […]
I wanted an AI agent that could actually help me plan a trip, research a destination, suggest where to stay, and find a real flight — without a subscription, without sending every question to a cloud provider, and without a monthly bill creeping up the more I used it. That search led me to two tools worth knowing: Hermes Agent… […]
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A sweeping bit of legislation designed to cut red tape could speed up the buildout of energy infrastructure in the US. With the dust barely settled on this week’s momentous midterms, the Senate is set to vote on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) on November 9. It’s a plan that could finally start an overhaul… […]
One of the biggest obstacles in quantum computing is surprisingly simple to describe: how do you read information without changing or destroying it? Unlike the bits used in ordinary computers, quantum bits, or qubits, are extraordinarily sensitive to measurement. Trying to determine their state can cause that state to collapse, potentially erasing the very information scientists want to retrieve. Researchers… […]
Available only for MIT Technology Review subscribers. Tuesday, November 17, 2026 In an effort to reach an elusive continuity of the self, some far-thinking technologists are working on ways to keep your brain going—even beyond death. Join science editor Mary Beth Griggs and senior editor for biomedicine Antonio Regalado for a conversation exploring possible paths to keep your mind going,… […]
Texas is the fastest-growing data center market in the US and ground zero for Big Tech’s largest AI buildouts. But the blue wave that swept the Lone Star State may jeopardize that position. Democrat James Talarico won the US Senate seat against Ken Paxton. Gina Hinojosa won the race for governor against the Republican incumbent, Greg Abbott. At the state … […]
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I’ve been locked in to my various screens since results from midterm elections started to roll in last night. And it didn’t take long to see the beginning of the blue wave: Democrats took control of both the US House of Representatives and the Senate, a dramatic swing from Donald Trump’s victory two years ago. While the results… […]
A round-by-round breakdown of how the hiring process has shifted, from AI-assisted coding rounds to GenAI evaluation questions, and what you need to do differently to be ready. … […]
This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. These startups hope “blended” food will cut our appetite for red meat In the fall of 2025, Jeff Dodge served hungry students steaming marinara sauce and meatballs. The students loved them: 92% of those who tried… […]
In partnership withCyberhaven A sales representative asks an AI agent for customer pricing, and the agent pulls data from multiple sources: restricted pricing systems, internal communications, and archived quotes. The output looks accurate to the agent, so a second agent uses the data to draft the proposal for the sales rep. No human checks either handoff. When it’s discovered that… […]
Picture a support pipeline built the lazy way. A giant model transcribes the call, reads the attached invoice, pulls out the names and amounts, decides which team gets the ticket, and reads the reply back to the customer. It works, and every step is billed at frontier prices. Most of those steps are single jobs, and small specialist models are… […]
Scientists have spent decades trying to control how tiny particles connect to form advanced materials. Now, researchers at MIT and their collaborators have discovered that doing the exact opposite of what was previously believed necessary can produce remarkable results. Instead of relying on rigid molecular connections to hold nanoparticles in carefully planned arrangements, the team developed extremely flexible connectors that… […]
Scientists have discovered that a simple mechanical squeeze can dramatically alter the magnetic properties and electrical behavior of exotic materials called altermagnets. The surprising breakthrough could open the door to faster, more energy-efficient electronics and new technologies for quantum computing. … […]
