Dirac founder Filip Aronshtein is solving an urgent problem in American manufacturing: how to capture decades of irreplaceable knowledge at risk of disappearing with the "silver tsunami" of retiring workers.

I recently spoke with two young founders driving the ocean’s future: Will O'Brien from Ulysses Ecosystem Engineering and David Zagaynov from Poseidon Aerospace. They’re building high-tech flying boats and underwater drones while stewarding the ocean.

Meet Noland Arbaugh, the first human to receive a Neuralink implant, who went from being paralyzed and unable to use a computer to controlling one with his mind—a feat he describes as "actual sci-fi."

This NEW type of AI chip could revolutionize medicine, enabling us to conquer diseases faster than we ever imagined.

Matt Ridley, the original Rational Optimist, reveals exactly how a future 14 TIMES richer than today is not just possible, but could arrive faster than you think.

He’s an Ex-Anduril Green Beret, and his new company's robotic gun can take down hostile drones with just two shots.

He was trapped, able to move only his eyes. Then Neuralink gave him an incredible new ability.

Discover how life-saving drones, initially blocked by US regulations, proved their worth in Africa and are now finally launching nationwide.

Discover why CRISPR technology is defeating genetic diseases faster than you think, restoring sight, hearing, and preventing conditions before birth. We explore the race for supersonic travel (Mach 9 jets?), share our real-world ride in Tesla & Waymo robotaxis, and check out AI drones preventing shark attacks.

We tackle the growing lawsuit against the NRC set to unleash nuclear innovation and dive into the invisible battlefield shaping modern conflict.

We take you to El Segundo, California - ground zero for America's Hard Tech Renaissance.

We explore how AI tutors are revolutionizing education with remarkable results.
