If you want to feel like there’s hope for humanity instead of feeling like we’re about to snowball into terribleness as a species, look at these examples.

“The best-kept secret in quantum computing.” That’s what Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC) CEO Ilyas Khan called Honeywell‘s efforts in building the world’s most powerful quantum computer.

Plant-based foods are all the rage right now, and vertical farms are capitalizing on the trend.

Early research results show that up to 77 percent of the bone scaffolding had been absorbed and replaced by natural bone 6 months after surgery.

Scientists from South Korea, USA, and Europe are working together

Scientists are replacing crops and livestock with food made in factories from microbes and water. It may save humanity’s bacon, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Ever-faster processors led to bloated software, but physical limits may force a return to the concise code of the past

Most science fiction is not predictive. Yet it can still be a guide to the future

An emerging cancer therapy could someday shorten the time patients spend in treatment and improve their overall outcomes.

The AI firm beat the competition when it came to predicting the structure of proteins, which may eventually improve how we treat diseases
