A "stakehodler" has both a voice and a vote, an economic interest in how each network stewards important global resources.
Huge shifts in the workforce demand real-world changes in management practices; “command-and-control” no longer cuts it.
Humanity is never fully in control of its creations. This lesson from Mary Shelley has remained relevant for over 200 years.

Generative AI — driven by large language models — has the potential to destroy or supercharge most businesses. Now is the time to pivot.
Technology goes in directions we can never predict — so we must be prepared to limit the spread of unintended consequences.
It is easy to mock Nobel Laureates who go astray, but eccentricity often accompanies brilliance. We should have some sympathy.
It’s early days, but if the efforts can be efficiently scaled-up, such biological recycling could put a dent in the plastic waste problem.
Frustrating failures sometimes lead to great breakthroughs.
Experiments on suborbital rockets are revealing how to make a better iron furnace.
Subtle clues emerge ahead of the attack via changes in scent.
Can quantum computers do things that standard, classical computers can't? No. But if they can calculate faster, that's quantum supremacy.
AI is helping us replace petrochemicals with natural enzymes.
The history of cartography might have been very different if the Latin version of Muhammad al-Idrisi's atlas had survived instead of the Arabic one.
Time to rewrite our understanding of structural engineering.
As the Manhattan Project headed for completion, German attempts to build a nuclear weapon had already been dismantled.
Smarter building materials can control indoor temperatures without external power.
Ice harvesters once made a living from frozen lakes and ponds, but the work was strenuous and dangerous. Then refrigeration changed everything.
Don’t argue with science. Just do it.
LK-99, almost certainly, isn't a room-temperature superconductor. The underlying physics of the phenomenon helps us understand why.
It could cut the time needed to reach Mars in half.
You could send your potential paramour a perfume bottle, a cigar cutter, travel plans — or maybe some cocaine.
A company in England has made a test that picks out the compounds from breath that reveal if people have liver disease.
Is LK-99 truly a room temperature superconductor? These 4 tests, none of which have yet been passed, will separate fact from fiction.
Pain relievers like acetaminophen and ibuprofen are made with chemicals derived from oil. Scientists have shown how to make them from trees.
The National Ignition Facility just repeated, and improved upon, their earlier demonstration of nuclear fusion. Now, the true race begins.
Ironically, the company did so using technology perfected by the oil industry.
It will be immensely difficult for the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains to protect their competitive edge if they do not pursue a radical change.
Recent claims put LK-99 as the first room temperature, ambient pressure superconductor ever. Has the game changed, or is it merely hype?
Engineer James Clarke liberated John, Paul, George, and Ringo from their mono and stereo straitjackets using algorithms at Abbey Road.
Giambattista della Porta's contributions to codebreaking changed the course of communication.
