Why some “breakthrough” technologies don’t work out

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), App, Artificial Intelligence, Culture, Opinion, TR10 2026

Every year, MIT Technology Review publishes a list of 10 Breakthrough Technologies. In fact, the 2026 version is out today. This marks the 25th year the newsroom has compiled this annual list, which means its journalists and editors have now identified 250 technologies as breakthroughs.  A few years ago, editor at large David Rotman revisited

Sodium-ion batteries: 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2026

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), App, Artificial Intelligence, Climate change and energy, TR10 2026

For decades, lithium-ion batteries have powered our phones, laptops, and electric vehicles. But lithium’s limited supply and volatile price have led the industry to seek more resilient alternatives. A sodium-ion battery works much like a lithium-ion one: It stores and releases energy by shuttling ions between two electrodes. But unlike lithium, a somewhat rare element

How next-generation nuclear reactors break out of the 20th-century blueprint

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), App, Artificial Intelligence, Climate change and energy, Features and Investigations, TR10 2026

Commercial nuclear reactors all work pretty much the same way. Atoms of a radioactive material split, emitting neutrons. Those bump into other atoms, splitting them and causing them to emit more neutrons, which bump into other atoms, continuing the chain reaction.  That reaction gives off heat, which can be used directly or help turn water

Good technology should change the world

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), App, Artificial Intelligence, Culture

The billionaire investor Peter Thiel (or maybe his ghostwriter) once said, “We were promised flying cars, instead we got 140 characters.” That quip originally appeared in a manifesto for Thiel’s venture fund in 2011. All good investment firms have a manifesto, right? This one argued for making bold bets on risky, world-changing technologies rather than

Retailers are starting to confront a problem that sits behind much of the hype around AI shopping: as customers turn to chatbots and automated assistants to decide what to buy, retailers risk losing control over how their products are shown, sold, and bundled. That concern is pushing some large chains to build or support their
