Researchers have broken the record for the highest resolution image ever captured of individual atoms, creating a shot that is ‘zoomed in’ some 100 million times. These images are so fine-tuned, in fact, that the blurring remaining in the shot is the product solely of the thermal jiggling of the atoms themselves. The breakthrough by … Read more

The number of digital bits will overtake the number of atoms on Earth within 150 years, according to a new study that warns of an ‘information catastrophe’. By 2170, the world will be ‘mostly computer simulated and dominated by digital bits and computer code’ to power humanity’s reliance on technology, the study warns. There will … Read more
