There is a moment in the history of the automobile that almost no one saw coming. Today, brands from all over the world, from the most traditional to the youngest, compete for the same goal: a car cap...
There is a material that is two hundred times stronger than steel, thinner than a hair and conducts electricity better than copper. It is not science fiction: it is called graphene, and scientists hav...
The Sun has been burning for five billion years without going out. It does not burn like a bonfire: it fuses hydrogen nuclei to turn them into helium. Every second it turns four million tons of matter...
Modern computers separate memory from the processor. Every time they need a piece of data, they look for it, bring it over, use it and return it. That constant back-and-forth consumes energy and time....
There is a material capable of conducting electricity without losing a single fraction of energy along the way. Without heating up, without wasting anything. It sounds like science fiction, but it has...
We have been hearing for decades that solar energy is going to change everything. And it has: panels on rooftops are now a common sight, prices have plunged 90% since 2010, and in many countries photo...
Technology advances so fast that we barely have time to wear out a phone before the next one arrives. The result is a silent but gigantic problem: mountains of old devices gathering dust in a drawer o...
There is a limit that medicine has been trying to overcome for decades: transplants depend on donors, and they do not always arrive. But technology is opening a door that a few years ago seemed like s...
When we talk about clean energy, the sun and the wind take almost all the spotlight. But there is a word that is sounding stronger and stronger in industry and transport: green hydrogen. It is not a p...
You have probably heard that quantum computers are going to solve everything: crack any password, discover impossible drugs, simulate the entire universe. Part of that is true. But it is worth separat...
Smart glasses: the next computer will not have a screen Smart glasses have been promising to replace the smartphone for years. Until now, almost all of them ended up in a drawer: too heavy, with too l...
If you think of a robot, you probably imagine a metal arm moving stiffly among factory parts. But a new generation of machines is changing that image: they are robots made of soft materials, able to b...
For decades, computers have moved information the same way: sending electrons through metal wires. But electrons have a serious problem. When they collide with each other or with the material carrying...
Today’s computers are marvels of speed, but there is one thing they do not imitate well: the human brain. Although it processes calmly, it can recognize a face, understand a conversation or reac...
The cloud was the promise… until it filled with smoke For years we were told that everything was going to live in the cloud. Your photos, your documents, even the way your phone understood your voice....
For decades, almost all of the world’s processors have been designed with two architectures dominated by a handful of companies: x86, from Intel and AMD, and ARM, with licenses controlled from t...
It may sound like science fiction, but it is already a reality: there are homes built with a giant printer that deposits layers of concrete, just like an inkjet printer on paper. 3D printing has stopp...
Digital twins: when the factory has its own virtual reflection Imagine that every machine, every sensor and every process in a factory has its exact copy in the digital world. It is not a generic simu...
Your phone no longer needs a nearby cell tower to have coverage. In recent months, several companies have begun offering internet connection directly from space, using satellites that speak the same l...
All of your digital life fits in the palm of your hand. But within a few years, the information of all of humanity could fit in something much smaller: a few grams of DNA. The same molecule that store...
Passwords have been the gateway to our accounts for decades, but also one of the weakest links in digital security. Every day millions of keys are leaked in cyberattacks and yet we keep using the same...
For years, the solid-state battery has been the promise that is always just around the corner. More range, charging in minutes, no fires. Now, in 2026, the first cars with this technology are starting...
For years, humanoid robots have been more of a promise than a reality. We saw them in films and at technology fairs, moving clumsily, unable to hold up through a day’s work. That is changing fas...
For decades, being able to control a computer with your mind was the territory of science fiction. Today it is no longer a distant promise: brain-computer interfaces, known by their English acronym BC...
If you have ever wondered why you have been hearing about nuclear power plants or the rise in the price of electricity for months, the answer may have a name: artificial intelligence. It is not an exa...
Your phone is still learning to make the most of 5G, but operators and chipmakers are already working on what comes next. It is called 6G and it promises to change much more than just the speed of you...
AI agents are no longer a lab thing: this is how the assistants that act for you work Artificial intelligence has stopped being just a tool that answers questions to become something that executes tas...
You may have heard about quantum computing in the news: that Google has achieved a breakthrough, that IBM promises a more powerful machine or that Microsoft is betting big on this technology. But what...
Wi-Fi 7 arrives: this is how your home connection will change (and why it is good for you) If you have internet at home, you have surely heard of Wi-Fi. It is that invisible signal that lets you brows...
