Boston has become a surprising hub for women taking charge of artificial intelligence. Unlike the usual tech-heavy cities, this one’s seeing groups where women—often sidelined in AI’s development—are learning to shape the technology instead of just being replaced by it. Research shows women hold jus
Silicon Valley once saw little use for religion. But now, as AI systems spread everywhere, tech giants are asking faith leaders to help decide what’s right and wrong for their machines.

A tiny gadget might soon help spot serious illnesses just by checking your spit. Scientists built a sensor using carbon nanotubes and transistors to catch a key inflammation marker called interleukin-6 (IL-6). This protein shows up in higher amounts when cancer spreads or during major infections lik
Quantum computers can model complex systems in ways regular computers can’t. A company in Australia recently proved this by running a quantum simulation involving electrons that was bigger and more detailed than anything tried before. Their experiment used 120 quantum bits—called qubits—allowing the
AI is often sold as a magical solution—fast answers, easy profits, and endless possibilities. But that shiny image hides a messy truth. Behind the scenes, giant data centers hum with energy use that rivals small cities. They gobble up water like it’s unlimited, even as local supplies dry up. And the
Therapy tools don't have to be heavy metal machines or complicated pills. Sometimes, they come in the form of a headset that drops you into a quiet forest or lets you revisit a childhood home.
