The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis for demonstrating that quantum phenomena can be observed in macroscopic systems large enough to hold in your hand. Their experiments with superconducting circuits demonstrated that billions of particles can act in unison, tunneling through barriers and absorbing […]

What Really Happens When Algorithms Go Quantum

Around the world, nearly three out of four deaths come from non-communicable diseases like diabetes, heart problems, and cancer. Diagnosing these conditions early could save millions of lives. But here’s the catch: modern medical data is messy, high-dimensional, and often overwhelming for doctors and computers alike. A new study has taken a surprising turn—using ideas […]

How Sci-LLMs Could Supercharge Discovery

A decade ago, the idea of a computer designing new materials, predicting drug interactions, or even writing publishable scientific papers sounded like science fiction. Today, it’s edging toward science fact. Researchers are building scientific large language models (Sci-LLMs). These are AI systems trained not just on casual text from the internet, but on the raw […]

What Happens When Banks Let AI Fight Hackers?

Your bank account is under attack. Constantly. Every second, hackers around the world launch sneaky attempts to slip into financial systems. The scary part? Many of these threats don’t even have names yet. They’re called “zero-day attacks”—brand-new tricks that traditional security systems can’t recognize. But here’s the twist: scientists just developed a defense system powered […]

When Research Stalls at the Finish Line

We are living in a golden age of data and discovery (though I confess it sometimes doesn’t feel like that). Biomedical science, public health research, and behavioral data are being produced at unprecedented rates. But with this explosion of information comes a growing gap: while knowledge increases, our ability to translate it into practice struggles […]

One Token = 4.4 Bytes: Why That’s a Problem for AI

Picture this: You’ve built a brilliant AI system, poured billions into training it, and it’s almost fluent in human language—except it keeps tripping over typos, emojis, and basic math. Why? The culprit is a little-known process baked into every major model: tokenization. For most of us, tokenization isn’t even on the radar. It’s the process […]
