Why some “breakthrough” technologies don’t work out

Why some “breakthrough” technologies don’t work out

Every year, MIT Technology Review publishes a list of 10 Breakthrough Technologies. In fact, the 2026 version is out today. This marks the 25th year the newsroom has compiled this annual list, which means its journalists and editors have now identified 250 technologies as breakthroughs.  A few...

Mechanistic interpretability: 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2026

Mechanistic interpretability: 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2026

Hundreds of millions of people now use chatbots every day. And yet the large language models that drive them are so complicated that nobody really understands what they are, how they work, or exactly what they can and can’t do—not even the people who build them. Weird, right? It’s also a problem....

Base-edited baby: 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2026

Base-edited baby: 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2026

Kyle “KJ” Muldoon Jr. was born with a rare genetic disorder that left his body unable to remove toxic ammonia from his blood. He was lethargic and at risk of developing neurological disorders. The condition can be fatal.  KJ joined a waiting list for a liver transplant. Then Rebecca...

Sodium-ion batteries: 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2026

Sodium-ion batteries: 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2026

For decades, lithium-ion batteries have powered our phones, laptops, and electric vehicles. But lithium’s limited supply and volatile price have led the industry to seek more resilient alternatives. A sodium-ion battery works much like a lithium-ion one: It stores and releases energy by shuttling...

Hyperscale AI data centers: 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2026

Hyperscale AI data centers: 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2026

In sprawling stretches of farmland and industrial parks, supersized buildings packed with racks of computers are springing up to fuel the AI race. These engineering marvels are a new species of infrastructure: supercomputers designed to train and run large language models at mind-­bending scale,...

How next-generation nuclear reactors break out of the 20th-century blueprint

How next-generation nuclear reactors break out of the 20th-century blueprint

Commercial nuclear reactors all work pretty much the same way. Atoms of a radioactive material split, emitting neutrons. Those bump into other atoms, splitting them and causing them to emit more neutrons, which bump into other atoms, continuing the chain reaction.  That reaction gives off...

Meet the new biologists treating LLMs like aliens

Meet the new biologists treating LLMs like aliens

How large is a large language model? Think about it this way. In the center of San Francisco there’s a hill called Twin Peaks from which you can view nearly the entire city. Picture all of it—every block and intersection, every neighborhood and park, as far as you can see—covered in sheets of...

Palantir - L'histoire secrète de l'œil numérique qui voit tout

Cet article fait partie de ma série spéciale hackers . Bonne lecture ! Le 7 août 2019, dans le Mississippi, des centaines d'enfants rentrent de leur premier jour d'école. Cartables sur le dos, ils s'attendent à retrouver leurs parents pour raconter leur journée. Mais à la place, ils découvrent des...

The Download: the case for AI slop, and helping CRISPR fulfill its promise

The Download: the case for AI slop, and helping CRISPR fulfill its promise

This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. How I learned to stop worrying and love AI slop —Caiwei Chen If I were to locate the moment AI slop broke through into popular consciousness, I’d...

A new CRISPR startup is betting regulators will ease up on gene-editing

Here at MIT Technology Review we’ve been writing about the gene-editing technology CRISPR since 2013, calling it the biggest biotech breakthrough of the century. Yet so far, there’s been only one gene-editing drug approved. It’s been used commercially on only about 40 patients, all with sickle-cell...
