100 days
How long an Australian man lived with an artificial titanium heart while waiting for a transplant. It’s the longest anyone has survived using the technology, which is still in trials. If it keeps proving successful, this could be the answer for people with heart failure.
Why tape storage is making a sneaky comeback
Storage systems have become digital in recent years. What if I told you the same technology that made VHS tapes possible might be the future of storage? Engineers at IBM are working on making that old approach more capable than a microchip. But how?
DeepSeek’s rise is a wake-up call: China isn’t just catching up; they’re proving they can compete, despite fewer resources and U.S. sanctions in place. If the U.S. wants to stay ahead, we can’t just play defense by restricting China’s access to chips and technology; we need to double down on innovation, AI investment and infrastructure, because, in the race for AI dominance, second place isn’t an option. We need to win!
Are you cirrus? Turns out the government’s technology for controlling the weather doesn’t work. “Cloud seeding,” where silver iodide crystals are added to clouds to increase rain, only boosts precipitation by a measly 0% to 20%. Oh, and it’s not cheap, either; we’re spending tens of millions on this every year.

Why does the government sell a $1K jar of peanut butter?
There’s a government warehouse that stores just about everything you could imagine — vitamins, “domestic sludge,” a standard bullet and even a jar of peanut butter that sells for about 200 times the going grocery store rate. It even maintains a cybersecurity database with all known software vulnerabilities. You’ll find all this at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. So, what is going on?
NASA's new wheel technology is remarkable
NASA plans to return to the moon and Mars in the next decade. One of the issues it has run into is that a traditional wheel filled with air struggles on the rugged terrain of Mars. So, it developed an entirely new material perfect for getting around on rough surfaces. But how does it work and what makes it so different?
Can microwave technology treat cancer?
In the early days of microwave ovens, people worried that emitted radiation could be dangerous to their health. In what you might think is an odd twist, doctors now use microwave technology to treat cancer. It helps to alleviate pain and, in some cases, even cure some forms of cancer. You have to see it to believe it.

Was his optimism well founded? Will we ever achieve the capability to revive cryogenically frozen individuals?
Why scientists are creating liquid robots
Robots assemble cars, fly planes and build tiny, complex machinery. But anything too small is tough because robots can only get so tiny. That’s why scientists are developing liquid robots made of liquid metal, capable of fitting anywhere. You won’t believe how this cutting-edge technology works.
How they de-aged Harrison Ford for 'Indiana Jones' 5
