Scientists invent photosynthetic 'living' material that sucks CO2 out of the atmosphere
Scientists have developed a material with photosynthetic bacteria that convert carbon dioxide into a mineral skeleton. The material hardens over time, so it could be used for buildings, they say.
Breakthrough quantum computer could solve problems 200 times faster than a supercomputer
Scientists have built a compact physical qubit with built-in error correction, and now say it could be scaled into a 1,000-qubit machine that is small enough to fit inside a data center. They plan to release this machine in 2031.
Intrepid baby-faced robot is the world's humanoid first to fly
New footage shows an expressionless iRonCub MK3 robot taking off using four thrusters — two where its arms should be and two in a jetpack on its back.
New study claims AI 'understands' emotion better than us
Common AI models outperformed humans on emotional intelligence in a recent study, but experts caution us to look beyond the headline.
