I'm the former publisher Forbes (1998-2018) and its futurist and editor-at-large. I write the “Tech Connector” column for Forbes Asia, serve as host of the “Innovation Rules” video series for Forbes.com, and perform as a speaker and panel moderator at business and financial events around the world.
would be a year of geopolitical risk, and it has been. Next is 2025 without so many elections. Will the world settle down?
Sex, gender, age, race and identity, nationalism and militarism, wealth distribution and justice, free speech…vast differences of opinion lie across each of these categories. Turns out the internet hasn’t opened minds. It has hardened them. In venture capital, bits crush atoms. Venture investing goes overwhelmingly to software companies, including AI. Far less goes to reinventing the physical world, even where reinvention is badly needed: Carbon capture, modular nuclear energy, solar film coating, feeding and housing the world’s 8 billion people, and so on. The reason is simple. Software companies can be funded and scaled at relatively small costs. Big and complex physical processes cannot.

Targeted cancer therapies: Getting radioactive atoms to accumulate in tumorsCompounds containing astatine-211 (211At) can be used in targeted radiotherapies for prostate cancer, but deastatination in the body remains a significant hurdle. Now, researchers have developed a new molecule with a neopentyl glycol structure that effectively prevents deastatination.

Physicists capture images of atoms flowing along a boundary without resistance despite obstacles in their pathTypically, electrons are free agents that can move through most metals in any direction. When they encounter an obstacle, the charged particles experience friction and scatter randomly like colliding billiard balls.

Atoms on the edge | ScienceDailyPhysicists directly observed ultracold atoms in an 'edge state,' flowing along a boundary without resistance. The research could help physicists manipulate electrons to flow without friction in materials that could enable super-efficient transmission of energy and data.

Researchers precisely measure effect of electromagnetic shielding in beryllium atomsThe electron shell of atoms acts as an 'electromagnetic shield,' preventing direct access to the nucleus and its properties. A team in the group of Klaus Blaum, director at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, has now succeeded in precisely measuring the effect of this shielding in beryllium atoms.
