Personalized, brain-based tools may help learners left behind due to natural differences in how their brains work. A painless, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can significantly improve how young adults learn math, my colleagues and I found in a recent study. In a paper in PLOS Biology,

The Talon-A2 vehicle air-launched from the world’s biggest aircraft and piloted itself at hypersonic speeds before landing in California. Hypersonic vehicles have become the latest military prestige technology, and the US seems to be lagging its rivals. That could change after the successful

The quantum sensor’s extreme sensitivity makes it possible to pinpoint location with high accuracy. Quantum sensors promise precision far beyond anything possible using classical technology. Australian startup Q-CTRL has put the devices to work in a GPS backup that’s 50 times better than the

Electric air taxis have seen rapid technological advances in recent years, but the industry has had a regulatory question mark hanging over its head. Now, the US Federal Aviation Authority has published rules governing the operation of this new class of aircraft. Startups developing electric

Finding ways to connect the human body to technology could have broad applications in health and entertainment. A new “electric plastic” could make self-powered wearables, real-time neural interfaces, and medical implants that merge with our bodies a reality. While there has been significant
