In the race to build more liveable, sustainable and efficient cities, the automobile represents a dilemma that seems fundamental. Smart Cities, with their promise of technological innovation and quality of life, are at a crossroads: Should they eliminate the car from their streets, or transform it so that it is integrated into the city of

Chinese scientists have managed to integrate a laser light source into a silicon chip, opening the door to large-scale photonic chip manufacturing. At a time when artificial intelligence is advancing by leaps and bounds and technological competition is fierce, this achievement could change the global balance in the semiconductor industry. Silicon photonics and their transformative

From automated factories to smart homes, the interconnectedness of devices is transforming industrial sectors and everyday aspects of our lives. However, despite the enthusiasm, IoT adoption remains uneven and poses serious challenges in terms of security, interoperability, and access, particularly in certain sectors and regions of the world.

Every time a phone starts to run slower, or when a computer, just a few years after its purchase, no longer supports new software versions, the same question arises: is this part of the nature of technological advancement or is there something more behind it? Planned obsolescence, the process by which technology products appear to

      Deep in Guatemala’s mountains and jungles, where electricity is still an unattainable luxury, a quiet revolution is turning on lights, charging phones, and connecting the rural world to the global grid. José Ordóñez, a Guatemalan who left Wall Street and the renewable energy sector in Europe behind, is leading this transformation. Since

In a conflict involving fundamental principles such as freedom of expression and respect for the law, Elon Musk, the tech mogul and owner of the social network X (formerly Twitter), is facing a forceful measure from Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (STF). Judge Alexandre de Moraes ordered the “immediate suspension” of the social network in Brazilian

The global labor market is at an inflection point. While automation and artificial intelligence are redrawing the contours of what’s possible, the urgency for environmental sustainability poses new challenges and opportunities. Jobs that seem secure today may not exist tomorrow, and those we have not yet imagined could become indispensable. What skills and competencies will
