Scientists engineer the 'purest ever silicon' to build reliable qubits that can be manufactured to the size of a pinhead on a chip and power million-qubit quantum computers in the future.

Researchers have discovered a way to curve data-carrying terahertz signals around obstacles, paving the way for ultrafast 6G.

How can we truly know if AI is sentient? We do not yet fully understand the nature of human consciousness, so we cannot discount the possibility that today's AI is indeed sentient — and that we are mistreating it to potentially grave consequences.

A new type of hybrid sodium-ion battery that offers both high capacity and rapid-charging capabilities could power mobile devices, electric vehicles and space tech.

Climate models can be a million lines of code long and can take months to run on supercomputers. A new algorithm has dramatically shortened that time.

Scientists built a "smart filter" that can work with a cheap smartphone camera to transform low-resolution photos into supersharp images without glare and other issues.

Fears of electric vehicle fires are blown out of proportion, but because EVs are heavier on average, they're safer for passengers but more dangerous for non-occupants, studies suggest.

Scientists build the world's first 6G antenna that, when fitted into devices, can transmit data at high speeds.
