Globally, we produce more than a trillion computer chips every year. Which means about 20 trillion transistors are built every second— and this process is done in fewer than 500 fabrication plants.
How do we build so many tiny, intricately-connected devices, so incredibly fast? George Zaidan and Sajan Saini explore how photolithography helps build these devices and its environmental impact. [Directed by Kozmonot Animation Studio, narrated by George Zaidan, music by Tolga Yıldız, Kozmonot Animation Studio].

The convergence of AI and robotics will unlock a wonderful new world of possibilities in everyday life, says robotics and AI pioneer Daniela Rus.
Diving into the way machines think, she reveals how ”liquid networks” — a revolutionary class of AI that mimics the neural processes of simple organisms — could help intelligent machines process information more efficiently and give rise to ”physical intelligence” that will enable AI to operate beyond digital confines and engage dynamically in the real world.

Tekniken förändrar vår värld – och hur vi kommunicerar – i en häpnadsväckande takt. Så mycket att entreprenören Victor Riparbelli förutspår att artificiell intelligens kommer att driva ljud och video för att ersätta text som vår primära kommunikationsform i slutet av detta decennium.
Han föreställer sig en värld där vem som helst kan skapa en Hollywood-film, få personlig utbildning eller kommunicera via hyperrealistiska avatarer – allt på den tid det tar att läsa en bok.

Astrophysicist Lisa Kaltenegger explores the thrilling possibility of discovering life beyond Earth, highlighting how cutting-edge technology like the James Webb Space Telescope lets us analyze distant planets for signs of life in unprecedented detail.
Could examining these ”alien earths” uncover evidence of new life forms and transform our understanding of the cosmos? We may be closer than ever to finding out.
