AI has a heat problem. Training and running large models means cramming server racks with well over 100 kW of power density. Nearly every one of those watts ends up as waste heat. Passive radiative cooling materials offer a different fix. They reject that heat into space instead of fighting it with more chillers and […]

Reach out into empty space and press an invisible button. You feel it give slightly under your finger. A small pulse confirms the input went through. No screen, no glove, nothing between your hand and the air except a sensation you can’t ignore. That sensation is the whole idea behind ultrasonic haptic feedback UI —

For close to twenty years, our relationship with technology has run through a rectangle. A 6-inch phone screen, a 27-inch monitor, doesn’t matter which. We’ve stared into flat, glowing windows so long that most of us stopped noticing how limiting that actually is. That’s starting to change. A spatial computing OS teaches devices to understand
When Software Leaves the Screen There’s always been a wall between the digital world and the physical one. Computers could simulate things and put pictures on a screen. But an object that needed to change shape still needed a hand, a motor, some mechanism to make it happen. 3D printing knocked a piece out of

The Next Interface Was Already Inside You Every leap in how we talk to computers has shrunk the gap between having an idea and acting on it. Punch cards turned a thought into a pattern of holes. Keyboards cut that down to finger movements. Voice assistants cut it down further, to spoken words. At each
The Power Plant Sitting in Your Driveway Everything-to-Grid energy AI is quietly turning millions of idle EV batteries into a backup power source for the electrical grid. Right now, those cars are just sitting there — parked, plugged in, slowly self-discharging. Data centers keep backup battery banks on hand for worst-case blackouts, and those batteries

Borrowing a blueprint from biology AI cybersecurity agents are starting to behave less like software and more like an immune system. That comparison isn’t accidental. The human immune system didn’t come out of an engineering lab. Billions of years of evolution built it. White blood cells patrol the body on their own schedule, recognizing what

The Quiet Rebellion Against Centralized Cloud For almost twenty years, the internet has run on an assumption most people never question. A small number of companies own the servers that everything else depends on. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google handle the lion’s share of the world’s cloud infrastructure. There’s a good chance that nearly everything you

The Web Wasn’t Built for This HTTP, TCP/IP, HTML — the protocols holding the internet together were designed for a person clicking links and filling out forms. The splinternet of agents is what happens when that assumption stops holding. Most machine-to-machine traffic still runs on formats shaped for humans: JSON APIs built around predictable requests,

Storage That Uses the Whole Cube, Not Just the Surface Holographic optical data storage is a technology that stores information throughout an entire three-dimensional volume instead of across a flat surface. That’s a real departure from how hard drives, SSDs, and even old Blu-ray discs work. No matter how the marketing spins it, every one
