Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech We can think of no possible way that a newly invented invisible drone can be used nefariously. Rather than relying on camouflage, the flying gizmo created by researchers at Northwestern University exploits the motion blur effect in our…

To put his idea to the test, Zhandry needed a candidate for a problem that has a quantum proof but no classical proof. The problem that he settled on, called the spectral forrelation problem, involves comparing two distinct ways of measuring a quantum state. Zhandry and his colleagues liken the possible outcomes of these two…

A new federal watchdog report released Thursday finds that NASA shed nearly 4,000 civil servants — roughly 22 percent of its entire workforce — over the course of 2025, and that staffing-related impacts have now spread to 25 of the agency’s 36 active major projects.
