Latest articles on AI, technology, and software development.
Autonomous mobile robots have moved well beyond proof-of-concept: major 3PLs, retailers, and e-commerce operators are running fleets of hundreds today. We break down how the technology works, what the leading platforms can reliably do, what they still can't, and what the economics look like for a warehouse operator making the call in 2026.
The developer tools market has fractured. Individual coders want raw speed and capability; enterprise IT wants audit logs, SSO, and model access controls. In 2026, the companies that figured out how to serve both are pulling away from the pack.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge used AI to identify a structural region conserved across the entire coronavirus family — from SARS-CoV-2 and its variants to MERS and bat coronaviruses not yet seen in humans. The resulting experimental pan-coronavirus vaccine has now completed a Phase I human trial in the UK, demonstrating a safety profile that clears the path to larger efficacy studies. Here is what the science actually showed, and what it does not yet prove.
WebAssembly started as a way to run C++ games at near-native speed in Chrome. In 2026 it runs production workloads on Cloudflare's global network, powers plugin systems in editors and databases, executes AI inference at the edge, and is standardizing a system interface — WASI — that lets the same binary run in a browser, a server, or a microcontroller. Here is what that actually looks like.
SQLite runs on over a trillion devices — every iPhone, every Android phone, Firefox, Chrome, VLC. In 2026, it has moved beyond mobile and embedded to power Cloudflare D1, Turso, and the local-first web apps redefining how developers think about data. Here is why the simplest database in the world has become one of the most consequential.
HTTP/3 runs on QUIC, a UDP-based transport that solves TCP's core limitations: head-of-line blocking, expensive TLS handshakes, and broken connections during mobile network handoffs. Google serves over 90% of its requests over QUIC today. Here is what the protocol actually does and what web developers need to know.
In 2019, the original Galaxy Fold cost $1,980 and had its screen damaged by reviewers within days of unboxing. In 2026, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Pixel 9 Fold, and OnePlus Open 2 are legitimate daily drivers with IPX8 water resistance, near-invisible creases, and app ecosystems that actually adapt to the larger canvas. The form factor works now. The question is whether the $1,400–$1,800 price gap from flagship slabs is worth what you get.
Over 15 billion accounts are now passkey-enabled across Apple, Google, and Microsoft platforms. Here's how FIDO2/WebAuthn passkeys work, which major services have deployed them, and what IT teams need to plan for 2026-2027.
Ethereum's Layer 2 networks now hold over $60 billion in TVL, process 80 million transactions per day at sub-cent fees — but centralized sequencers, fragmented liquidity, and cross-chain bridging remain the new bottlenecks shaping the ecosystem in 2026.
LPCAMM2 is the JEDEC-standardized memory module that delivers full LPDDR5x bandwidth in a removable, upgradeable form factor — ending a decade of soldered RAM in thin laptops.
After a decade of failed prototypes and social backlash, smart glasses in 2026 have finally carved out real utility. Here's what's working, what's still broken, and who should actually buy them.
INT4 and INT8 quantization have made it possible to run 7B and 13B parameter language models on consumer laptops without a cloud connection. Here is what changed, how it works, and what hardware you need today.
