Databricks just dropped research showing a 70% improvement over traditional RAG for complex enterprise questions. The secret? Teaching the retriever to actually understand instructions and metadata. This could be a game-changer for anyone using AI on messy, real-world data.
New research from Rice and Harvard reveals the starkly different location strategies for hyperscale and colocation data centers. It’s a tale of cheap power versus low latency, shaping where our digital infrastructure gets built.
A new report gathers predictions from top OT security executives on how AI will reshape industrial cybersecurity next year. The consensus? Unchecked deployment is setting the stage for major breaches, legal battles, and a scramble for governance. The wild west phase is ending.
For the first time, scientists have used polarized X-rays to study a white dwarf star in a binary system. The data reveals the precise geometry of how it devours gas from its companion. This new technique is like putting on 3D glasses for the universe’s most violent events.
Razer is taking $20 reservations for Project Ava, a tiny holographic anime companion for your desk. It uses AI and computer vision to watch you and your screen, but an early demo was plagued by inaccuracies and cringey chatter. It feels like a sad vision of gaming’s AI future.
Ugreen is making a huge push into AI and smart living at CES 2026. The company announced a new NAS with local AI, a full home security system, and a powerful 300W charger, all aiming to create a connected, private ecosystem.
The U.S. power grid is under immense strain from data centers, but its biggest threat might be its own workforce. High turnover and a wave of retirements are colliding with a 50% demand surge. Stability hinges on culture, not just cables.
This year’s tech previews are all about embedding AI directly into devices like glasses, security cameras, and home robots. The promise is faster, more private, and always-available intelligence. But is the hardware ready to deliver?
This year, reliable government data became harder to find than ever. A long shutdown delayed key reports, and some datasets vanished entirely. When we can’t agree on the facts, making smart policy—or even having a sane conversation—becomes impossible.
Scientists have struggled to see how cells decide their future. A new computational method, ddHodge, uses advanced math to finally map these high-stakes decisions in development and disease.
