An American startup, Atomic Machines, is using artificial intelligence to design and manufacture microscopic devices. The company created a system called "matter compiler," which transforms digital projects into physical components.According to The New York Times, the first application is a small electrical switch for data center equipment. Atomic Machines aims to apply the technology to micro-robots, motors, and devices capable of performing medical exams

The chorus of alarm around a potential AI-triggered doomsday is getting louder. On Monday, two AI researchers from frontier labs warned that the technology could, in the not-so-distant future, conceivably wipe out all of humanity. The statements come less than a week after former OpenAI and Anthropic staffer Jacob Coxon announced that he’d resigned from his role at the latter company because of what he described as the industry’s recklessness toward humani

On September 12, 2026, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay urging frontier AI companies, including his own, to slow down development for fear of destroying human life as we know it in ways that we can’t even conceive of. On September 14, 2026, Anthropic posted a job listing looking for a policy design manager to handle conventional weapons, one of the ways we can very clearly conceive of how it destroys human life.

Microsoft has let go more than 15,000 workers since May, and Amazon announced last week it was cutting 14,000 roles. Artificial intelligence has taken some of the blame for the layoffs, but not in an obvious way. The companies aren't in financial distress—far from it. Rather, there's a desire now among

Since 1980, these powerful tropical storms have done more than US$1.5 trillion in damage and killed more than 7,000 people. The No. 1 cause of the damages and deaths from hurricanes is storm surge. Storm surge is the rise in the ocean's water level, caused by a combination of powerful winds pushing wa

DOI: 10.3390/microplastics4040075 Microplastics have become an invisible but persistent threat in rivers, lakes, oceans, and even in the water we drink. These tiny plastic fragments can drift for miles, settle on the seafloor, or remain suspended for years, harming ecosystems and human health. Scientists still lack a standard way to measure how microplastics move throu

The problem with manual DASTTraditionally, DAST scans were performed late in the development cycle, often by a separate security team. This approach is no longer sustainable for fast-growing tech companies. Manual DAST introduces several significant challenges:Slow feedback loops: When scans are run manually, developers may not receive feedback on vulnerabilities for days or even weeks. By then, the code has moved on, making fixes more complex and costly t

The enterprise communication blind spotFor years, corporate communications were treated as either static records – emails stored in archives – or ephemeral exchanges that disappeared after use. The rise of AI has changed that. Tools like Microsoft’s Copilot and Zoom’s AI Companion now interpret tone, context, and intent in real-time, turning chat history into searchable knowledge. But for many companies, that same intelligence is emerging in silos, without

AI slop is as certain as government levies these days, infecting every corner of the internet and increasingly intruding on real life. It’s not going away, and surely any attempts to ban the stuff will be futile. So what should we do about it? Well, why not institute a “slop tax?” proposes technologist Mike Pepi in an essay for The Guardian. Such a tax would “restore balance to what has her
