Alone, even the most comprehensive omics dataset offers an incomplete picture of human biology. Multiomics, which combines multiple levels of biology, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, provides researchers with a more holistic view of a biological system. This system-level view is essential for understanding disease mechanisms and supporting more rational drug design. However, despite its promise, the clinical impact of multiomics has yet to be fully realized. “In many cases, multiomics data includes data pieced together from various places,” Prof. Namshik Han, professor in the Department of Quantum Information at Yonsei University, head of AI research at the Milner…

It’s advice as old as tech support. If your computer is doing something you don’t like, try turning it off and then on again. When it comes to the growing concerns that a highly advanced artificial intelligence system could go so catastrophically rogue that it could cause a risk to society, or even humanity, it’s tempting to fall back on this sort of thinking. An AI is just a computer system designed by people. If it starts malfunctioning, can’t we just turn it off?A new analysis from the Rand Corporation discusses three potential courses of action for responding to a…

Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has agreed to buy Intersect, a U.S. clean energy developer, in a deal valued at $4.75 billion in cash plus assumed debt. The transaction was announced in December 2025 and is expected to close in the first half of 2026. The acquisition helps Alphabet gain more strength for its growing data center operations. It also supports the growth of its artificial intelligence (AI) services. The deal includes Intersect’s team, energy projects under development, and data center infrastructure. Intersect will keep running independently with its current leaders. It will also collaborate closely with Alphabet’s technical…

When technologies cross certain adoption thresholds, something changes in the market. It’s called the tipping point because the size and success of the installed base reaches a point where customers trust the technology and its progress becomes unstoppable. This is what has happened to the IoT market with LoRaWAN, says Semtech and the LoRa Alliance. With market adoption of more than 125 million connected devices globally and 25% year-over-year growth that transformation is happening now for LoRaWAN-based low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN). The milestone matters not only because of the raw numbers, but because of what the deployment patterns reveal. Individual…

surgical robotics marketThe global surgical robotics market reached US$ 5.84 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to US$ 15.25 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period 2025-2033. The market growth is driven by the rising preference for minimally invasive surgeries, rapid technological advancements, and the increasing burden of chronic diseases among the aging population. Surgical robotic systems offer enhanced precision, reduced recovery time, and fewer complications, making them highly attractive to both healthcare providers and patients.Market expansion is further supported by strong public and private investments, along with strategic collaborations between technology companies…

The financial industry is undergoing a profound transformation as blockchain technology continues to reshape how assets are created, traded, and managed. One of the most revolutionary developments in this space is the tokenization of traditional finance—the process of converting real-world assets (RWAs) such as real estate, stocks, bonds, or commodities into digital tokens on a blockchain. This paradigm shift not only enhances accessibility and liquidity but also introduces unprecedented transparency, security, and efficiency into financial markets. By bridging the gap between traditional finance and digital assets, blockchain-based tokenization is enabling investors, institutions, and enterprises to participate in markets in ways that…

Modern-day cyberattacks are increasing rapidly and becoming more complex than most organizations can cope with. Ransomware, phishing, identity theft, data breaches, and unknown zero-day attacks are dangers to businesses, governments, and ordinary users. Traditional measures, such as firewalls, signature-based, and manual monitoring, no longer work against attackers that apply automation and AI to hack systems. To stay ahead, organizations require security that can think and react as quickly as attackers do. AI in cybersecurity is effectively filling that gap. It detects unusual activity early, blocks threats in real time, and helps security teams respond with far greater accuracy. This blog…

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI filed a federal lawsuit on December 29, 2025, challenging California’s Assembly Bill 2013, a transparency law requiring AI developers to publicly disclose detailed information about the datasets used to train their models. The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, argues that the law violates constitutional protections for trade secrets and compels speech in violation of the First Amendment.According to the 55-page complaint, xAI characterizes AB 2013 as an “unconstitutional trade-secrets-destroying disclosure regime” that threatens the AI industry by forcing companies to reveal confidential information worth billions…

Chinese President Xi Jinping said 2025 was the year that China’s technologies, including artificial intelligence and semiconductor chips, “reached new heights”. In his New Year’s address, Xi lauded the efforts of Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductor chip companies by saying that they “integrated science and technology deeply with industries, and made a stream of new innovations”. “Many large AI models have been competing in a race to the top, and breakthroughs have been achieved in the research and development of our own chips,” he added. Xi’s comments came after China’s AI advancements dominated headlines in 2025. The country is…

Key PointsGrowth at Amazon’s cloud computing segment is reaccelerating.Advertising services is the fastest-growing division within Amazon.Yet, the tech giant’s stock is at the same valuation level as its peers. Amazon had a disappointing 2025, with the stock only rising around 6% while the S&P 500 gained around 18%. That’s a sharp underperformance and will have been frustrating for investors since nearly every other big tech company had a much better year. However, thanks to its underperformance, Amazon may be slated to enjoy a much better year ahead. So, could Amazon be the comeback stock of the year in 2026? I’ve…
