What is AI? from Will www.technologyreview.com/2024/07/10/1...

What we leave behind, from Niall www.technologyreview.com/2024/08/19/1...

And then pieces from our own @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social and @niallfirth.bsky.social are among notable works in the Best American Science and Nature Writing jaimealyse.beehiiv.com/p/basnw25

Then the brilliant Erika Haysaki won the NASW Science in Society Journalism Awards in Longform Narratives (www.nasw.org/article/anno...) for this fantastic story www.technologyreview.com/2024/05/16/1...

It’s been an exciting few weeks for features over at @technologyreview.com. First we published one for all you lovely Wikipedia nerds out there, about how the platform + AI are sending small languages into a doom spiral, from @jacobjudah.bsky.social www.technologyreview.com/2025/09/25/1...

So it turns out the most advanced AI systems that people fear/hope are “becoming human” are actually a lot more pigeon-like than human-like?!It’s maybe time we reconsider the much-maligned bird. Brilliant from @bencrair.bsky.social. @technologyreview.com www.technologyreview.com/2025/08/18/1...

NEW: This is the inside story of how astronomers tracked down 2024 YR4, the most dangerous asteroid ever found, in the hope of working out whether it would strike Earth in a few short years. It’s Don’t Look Up, but everyone lives.

Me @technologyreview.com www.technologyreview.com/2025/07/08/1...

Everything about this story is *fantastic* but I particularly enjoyed the bonus fun sidebar: astronomers absolutely hate the moon

Fantastic new big story out today from Greg Barber about Big Tech's plans to plant its way to being carbon neutral.

Wonderful read, with sensational art and photos. Enjoy!

The kind of big ambitious piece that makes me proud to work at @technologyreview.com www.technologyreview.com/2025/04/24/1...

What if I told you the key to Apple’s big goal to be carbon neutral by 2030 was…planting millions of eucalyptus in Brazil? It’s a controversial plan—and one many may copy. Luckily we have @gregbarber.bsky.social to take us on a journey through the groves www.technologyreview.com/2025/04/24/1...

UPDATE: It happened. In an 11:15 meeting, employees were told that the office has been eliminated and their positions will be terminated.

Even more unsettling though are the conditions inside these compounds. Pete and Emily spoke to several survivors who talk about getting beaten for crossing their legs or not meeting strict quotas. Give it a read, share it, and raise awareness. And subscribe to @technologyreview.com

And, as reporting from @emilyfishbein11.bsky.social and @peterguest.bsky.social reveals, the entire scam from start to end relies on western tech—FB, and also Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp, Tinder, and various crypto exchanges. It’s unsettling, to say the least.

This scams and more broadly the vast romance scam business, sometimes know by the graphic term “pig butchering,” often trick people into becoming scammers by promising them legitimate-sounding jobs abroad. And to do it, criminal syndicates use the Big Tech platforms we all use, including Facebook.

Have you ever gotten a weird wrong number text? You’re probably not surprised to hear that was likely a scammer. You may be surprised to hear that scammer is possibly a victim themselves—and perhaps being held in a prison-like compound in Southeast Asia. www.technologyreview.com/2025/03/27/1...

Yesterday's earthquake in Myanmar is another catastrophe for a country already in crisis.

For months, Peter Guest & I have been investigating another crisis in Myanmar -- its online scamming industry, which largely relies on forced labor (thread)

I was totally fascinated by @peterguest.bsky.social’s reporting here, about how Ukraine’s neighbors fear what happened there—and have been inspired to quickly reshape their own civilian tech, like scooters, drones, med tech + way more @technologyreview.com www.technologyreview.com/2024/12/04/1...

Been thinking a lot about this @technologyreview.com story over the past few weeks, by @annamerlan.bsky.social. Crucial reading to understand the growing mistrust in our health care institutions—and a preview of even more theories RFK may push if confirmed. www.technologyreview.com/2024/08/07/1...

You’ve probably been at an airport and thought, huh, what’s the deal with Clear and how come these people can skip the line? Well @eileenguo.bsky.social did a deep dive. Super important read about the rise of Clear and biometric tech in @technologyreview.com: www.technologyreview.com/2024/11/20/1...

@asilverman.bsky.social and I will be talking abt this story, Clear, biometrics, and identity, on a LinkedIn live tomorrow. Join us: www.linkedin.com/events/72628...
