The one option that is absolutely not viable is business as usual.
Building a Sustainable Business Innovation Capability
Innovation is hard and often requires a particular model for success: active, hands-on capability building.
Phygital experiences are transforming customer engagement
Enter "phygital" experiences — a seamless blend of physical and digital interactions designed to enhance customer engagement.
Designing Self-Destructing Bacteria to Make Effective Tuberculosis Vaccines
Working toward more effective tuberculosis (TB) vaccines, researchers have developed two strains of mycobacteria with "kill switches" that can be triggered to stop the bacteria after they activate an immune response.

US’ new method extracts 14 liters drinking water from thin air daily using food scraps
The system transforms these everyday biomass into “molecularly functionalized biomass hydrogels” that harvest water directly from the atmosphere
The Painful Truth about AI & Robotics
By 2045, there will be virtually nothing a human can do that a machine cannot do better for a tiny fraction of the cost.
Human sperm-like tiny robots could help in fertility care and drug delivery
These robots, with sizes between 10 and 20 centimeters, will be put to the test in fluids that replicate human body fluids, such as blood.
French Scientists Beat China’s Fusion Record With 22-Minute Plasma Reaction
Nuclear fusion uses extremely high pressures and temperatures to force hydrogen atoms to combine, or fuse. It’s what happens in stars—including the sun—and the reaction generates massive amounts of light, heat, and energy.
How Digital Twins and AI are Taming Live Data Analysis?
The convergence of digital twins and AI represents a pivotal opportunity for enterprise technology leaders to transform their management of live operations.
