Is AI the Next Evolution of Our Minds?
What if the future of intelligence isn’t human? In this video, we explore Hans Moravec’s prophetic vision about Artificial Intelligence from his breakthrough book, Mind Children—a world where conscious, superintelligent AIs don’t just outthink us, but carry our legacy forward. Instead of fearing them, should we embrace them as the next phase of mind? If consciousness is our greatest gift, maybe our most important mission is to make sure it survives—even if that means passing the torch to our digital descendants.

New quantum device operates at room temperature for stable qubits
Stanford University researchers say they have developed a nanoscale optical device that could shift the direction of quantum communication.
Unlike today’s quantum computers that operate near absolute zero, this new approach works at room temperature.
The device entangles the spin of photons and electrons, which is essential for transmitting and processing quantum information.
How multispecific molecules are transforming pharmacotherapy
Multispecific drugs are designed to engage two or more entities to exert their pharmacological effect. This Perspective discusses how a new wave of FDA-approved multispecific molecules have been transformative in overcoming barriers to drug development such as toxicity, rapid clearance, undruggable protein features, and functional redundancy.
A phenotypic brain organoid atlas and biobank for neurodevelopmental disorders
Wang and colleagues present a phenotypic brain organoid atlas for neurodevelopmental disorders, revealing disease-specific cellular and molecular alterations that illuminate NDD pathogenesis. Integrating patient brain organoids, imaging, and exome sequencing, this resource provides a powerful platform to advance research and therapeutic discovery.
