6G speeds hit 100 Gbps in new test — 500 times faster than average 5G cellphones
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
Scientists in Japan have transferred data at 100 gigabits per second in high-frequency wavelength bands over a distance of 330 feet for the first time.
Quantum computing breakthrough could happen with just hundreds, not millions, of qubits using new error-correction system
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
Scientists have designed a physical qubit that behaves as an error-correcting "logical qubit," and now they think they can scale it up to make a useful quantum computer using a few hundred.
1st self-driving car that 'lets you take your eyes off the road' goes on sale in the US — and it's not a Tesla
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
Mercedes-Benz has sold at least one of its new vehicles fitted with its Drive Pilot autonomous driving software, which lets you take your hands off the steering wheel and your eyes off the road.
China green-lights mass production of autonomous flying taxis — with commercial flights set for 2025
By Roland Moore-Coyler published
The EHang EH216-S autonomous flying taxi is the first eVTOL ready for mass production and could lead the way for flying cars around the world.

Claude 3 Opus has stunned AI researchers with its intellect and 'self-awareness' — does this mean it can think for itself?
By Roland Moore-Coyler published
Anthropic's AI tool has beaten GPT-4 in key metrics and has a few surprises up its sleeve — including pontificating about its existence and realizing when it was being tested.
Scientists create 'toxic AI' that is rewarded for thinking up the worst possible questions we could imagine
By Drew Turney published
Researchers at MIT are using AI to train AI not to give toxic responses, using a new method that replicates human curiosity.

Google builds an AI model that can predict future weather catastrophes
By Drew Turney published
A new system uses generative AI to predict weather faster and more cheaply than ever — while detecting difficult-to-spot extreme weather events — beating the world's major weather agencies.
Future quantum computers could use bizarre 'error-free' qubit design built on forgotten research from the 1990s
By Nicholas Fearn published
Qubits can be made by floating a suspended electron over a pool of liquid helium rather than being embedded them a solid-state crystal — which leads to impurities and errors.
