Insights, perspectives, and resources to create lasting change for tomorrow.
The history of human progress is inextricably linked to our ability to measure the world around us. From the first standardized weights used in ancient trade to the atomic clocks that synchronize our modern digital infrastructure, every leap in measu...
For most of human history, the practice of medicine has been reactive. We wait for a system to break—a heart to fail, a joint to degrade, or a tumor to grow—and then we attempt to repair the damage. While this approach has significantly increased lif...
For decades, the primary goal of space agencies was exploration and observation. We sent satellites to look back at Earth and probes to look out at the stars. However, a fundamental shift is currently underway as space transitions from a place we vis...
For billions of years, nature has utilized a remarkably efficient process to convert sunlight, water, and air into energy. This process, photosynthesis, is the foundation of nearly all life on Earth, providing the food we eat and the oxygen we breath...
For centuries, humanity has relied on static materials to build the world around us. From the stone used in ancient monuments to the steel and concrete of modern skyscrapers, our building blocks have been defined by their permanence. Once a beam is f...
The global search for a clean, reliable, and abundant energy source has led scientists and engineers back to the same mechanism that powers the sun and the stars: nuclear fusion. For decades, fusion was viewed as a distant prospect, a field of study ...
In the history of robotics, the focus has long been on creating singular, highly sophisticated machines capable of performing complex tasks with precision. From industrial arms on assembly lines to humanoid robots designed for interaction, the "indiv...
The human brain is often described as the most complex structure in the known universe, containing billions of neurons that communicate through intricate electrical and chemical signals. For decades, the only way to translate these internal thoughts ...
As the global demand for clean energy intensifies, the limitations of terrestrial renewable sources have become a central focus for engineers and policymakers. While ground-based solar and wind power are critical components of the modern energy mix, ...
For decades, the standard lifecycle of manufactured objects has been a linear progression from production to wear, damage, and eventually the scrap heap. Whether it is a hairline crack in a bridge’s support beam or a shattered smartphone screen, mate...
The journey to Mars is long, expensive, and hazardous. Dangerous space radiation affects astronauts and chemical rockets are limited in terms of the amount of fuel and cargo they can carry. Nuclear propulsion has the potential to reduce the journey, ...
The exploration of space has been given a new dimension. It is about accessing new locations and in a sustainable and affordable manner. Among the most interesting innovations is the invention of reusable lunar landers. Such spacecrafts can travel be...
In the past, the concept of printing human organs was likely regarded as a piece of science fiction, but 3D bioprinting is bringing it a bit closer to reality. By combining medicine, engineering and advanced manufacturing, organ printing is the solut...
The adulthood of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized numerous sectors, and one of the most significant impacts is likely to be found in the healthcare industry. Two of the significant fields where AI has made tremendous advancements are p...
The world is becoming dependent to electronic devices, such as smartphones, medical implants, and sensors and wearable devices. However, this dependency has its price: an average yearly production of millions of tons of electronic waste (e-waste) is ...
Computers have been crunching data in linear blocks of 1s and 0s for decades. Meanwhile, our brains think in parallel — adaptive, effective, and capable of learning from experience. A new generation of neuromorphic chips, inspired by neurons and syna...
Quantum computing has always been impressive: machines capable of solving problems beyond the reach of even the fastest supercomputers. But for decades, progress has been slowed by one stubborn obstacle - errors. Qubits (the building blocks of quantu...
The integration of digital gaming and healthcare has produced a new tool: gamified therapy platforms. These platforms transform patient therapy by making it interactive and game-based. Combining psychology, neuroscience, and game design, they provide...
Elderly population is increasing at an alarming rate and we should find more effective means of taking care of them. Robots have the potential to make older adults stay independent and feel safe and experience high-quality life. Robots can be used as...
Among the innovative uses of AI is the creation of assistance technology designed to help individuals with disabilities (AI for Accessibility). Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a very potent instrument that can simplify the life of people with disabil...
In early May, cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler uncovered a massive, unsecured database containing over 184 million plaintext login credentials linked to major online platforms including Apple, Google, Facebook, Instagram, Microsoft, Netflix, ...
Global sea lanes are facing escalating, multi-dimensional threats. On one front, aging “shadow fleet” tankers are evading Western sanctions in North European waters. On another, GPS jamming is disrupting navigation in the Red Sea. Together, these dan...
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has cautioned that the United States’ recent restrictions on advanced AI chip exports may have unintended consequences like potentially undermining America’s technological leadership rather than curbing China's progress. Speak...
In science, few things have opened so many doors as CRISPR. What started as a curiosity about how bacteria defend themselves has turned into one of the most useful tools for biologists. It lets scientists edit DNA with great accuracy and ease. This t...
Imagining waking up one day to scientists attempting to reverse the aging process not with a magic pill nor a sci-fi gadget but by attempting to find out about something that flows through you every second of your existence. Your blood is not only a ...
Samoa is experiencing a more dire electricity crisis on its main island of Upolu, with nearly every element of life disrupted due to regular power outages. For example, families are suffering average blackouts of 16 or more hours every day. Businesse...
As the world rapidly evolves in the digital era, the conventional STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education model is increasingly being challenged. While STEM education has undeniably driven innovation and economic progress, ...
SpaceX achieved a milestone moment in the history of human space flight on the evening of March 31, 2025, when it successfully executed the Fram2 mission from Cape Canaveral. Its Falcon 9 rocket carried the Fram2 capsule and it became the first human...
In early April of the year 2025, the United States set a precedent in changing tariff rules in a matter that would indeed affect global trade. President Trump recently announced a flat universal tariff of 10%, effective as of April 5, on every import...
When I walked into my first day of high school, I felt like I had entered an entirely different world—one where everyone seemed to be competing in an unspoken race for perfection. My name is Adhi, and today, I'm a college graduate with a degree in co...
