Editors Note: As we go to press, cryptocurreny markets are in another stage of extreme volatility following China’s decision to shut down local exchanges. Despite erratic swings, whether in stocks, housing or cryptos, when values rapidly rise, there are always sharp market corrections.

Everyone from the Big Three automakers to insurance companies and chip designers is accelerating efforts to create self-driving cars – and accelerating the hype, too.

United States elections, especially presidential elections, once were a cherished tradition. They were ripe with optimism that our next leaders would reflect in principle and practice the moral, freedom-loving tenets on which...

Uniting organic computers – our brains – with their electronic counterparts has moved farther from science fiction and closer to reality, thanks to recent bioengineering innovations. The first is an artificial synapse, devised by researchers at Stanford University and Sandia National Laboratories. Since synapses are mainly empty space, why is this a big deal? Because...

What if plastics could be made from biodegradable material? Just throw the old water bottles and fast-food cutlery in the garbage; bacteria at the dump will eat them, in short order, down to harmless substances. That goal is still elusive.
