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…

According to reports, ransomware alone was responsible for 44% of breaches and 68% of detected threats, amounting to more than 236 million cases worldwide.…

Arguably, the most talked-about actor last year was not a hot young star who sparkled on the red carpet. It was Tilly Norwood, a 20-something aspiring star, who appeared in an unfunny comedy sketch titled AI Commissioner and later took to social media to express her happiness at bagging her first big role.The reason everyone was talking about Tilly wasn’t that she has a riveting screen presence. It is because she isn’t real. She is an AI construct, created by as a proof of concept by London AI “production studio” Particle6, and her existence has thrown Tinseltown into an existential…

HANGZHOU, China — In what is sometimes dubbed China’s Silicon Valley, tech giants and startups in Hangzhou are racing to build cutting-edge chips, robotics and brain-computer interfaces. Across town, aspiring founders are creating AI pets and fortune-telling apps. The city on China’s southeastern coast is reinventing itself as an artificial intelligence hub. A year after the rise of DeepSeek drew global attention, Hangzhou’s fast-moving AI scene reflects both global ambitions and intensifying competition at home. The sprint toward physical AI China and the U.S. are moving in lockstep to develop what many see as AI’s next frontier: physical applications. From Meta…

Details By Jessica A. Rickert, DDS January 01, 2026 Dentistry has always been on the cutting edge of science and technology.  Now, Artificial Intelligence is transforming dentistry.  AI is used to generate and analyze digital images to assist in diagnosing conditions, predicting anomalies and planning surgeries.  AI-powered diagnostic tools are achieving over 90% accuracy, resulting in early detection of dental diseases. Digital images include radiographs, magnetic resonance images (MRI) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). We did not attain our online goal. Please support our year-end campaign.

CEXs bring considerable risks to the security and integrity of decentralized blockchain systems. Events like the Flow exploit recently demonstrated this, exposing vulnerabilities that can undermine user trust and reveal the dangers of relying too much on centralized systems. How can CEXs become vulnerabilities for Decentralized Networks? CEXs act as custodians of users’ assets and private keys. This centralization creates a vulnerability because if a CEX gets hacked, it can lead to massive theft of funds and instability in the market. A notable case was the Flow exploit that involved the theft of nearly $4 million. A single account, for…

Japan has put a real ion-trap quantum device online, making it accessible through the cloud Japan has taken a practical step toward remote quantum computing by placing an ion-trap qubit system online and making it accessible through cloud infrastructure. Researchers at Osaka University, working through the university’s Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology (QIQB), announced that a trapped-ion quantum device can now be operated remotely without physical access to the laboratory. Ion-trap systems differ from more familiar superconducting quantum computers in that they use individual charged atoms held in place by electromagnetic fields, rather than fabricated circuits. These atoms…
