  • Best Of: Questioning Quantum Mechanics

    Best Of: Questioning Quantum Mechanics
    Jul 4 2025
    Unless you're a physicist, you've probably only encountered quantum mechanics on TV.

    And even when it was explained, you might've still been a little confused.

    The field of quantum mechanics was created a century ago. Today, scientists are using it to create methods of communication that can't be hacked, higher quality digital images, and to develop medications.

    But many of us don't even understand what quantum mechanics is — or how it's deepening our understanding of the universe.

    For today's installment of our series, "The Scientific Method," we answer your quantum-related questions.

  • Why The U.S. Army Made Four Tech Executives Lieutenant Colonels

    Why The U.S. Army Made Four Tech Executives Lieutenant Colonels
    Jul 3 2025
    Meta Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth, Palantir Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar, OpenAI Head of Product Kevin Weil, and Thinking Machines Lab advisor Bob McGrew are now lieutenant colonels in the U.S. Army Reserves.

    They're part of a military unit called Detachment 201, also known as the the Executive Innovation Corps. Their US Army says their swearing in is the "start of a bigger mission to inspire more tech pros to serve without leaving their careers, showing the next generation how to make a difference in uniform."

    We discuss what the Army hoping to innovate and the capacity these tech executives will serve in the armed forces.

    Unpacking The GOP Megabill
    Jul 2 2025
    The so-called 'big, beautiful bill' has squeaked by in the Senate and now moves back to the House.
