By Aarav Shah, Technology Columnist; The Lawrenceville School, NJ Both robots and artificial intelligence have come a long way, developing from returning speech input manually to displaying dexterity and other physical exercises. Yet, with the question of robots' feasibility in the workplace and the potential replacement of human jobs, one thing is certain. If robots are heightened to initiate this major turning point in the world's history, then they need to be able to analy

By Sophia Wang; Physics and Aerospace Associate; The Lawrenceville School, NJ Given the rising demand for data centers, a new system developed by MIT researchers to optimize their performance has the potential to transform the tech industry. Typical methods used to increase efficiency such as acquiring advanced hardware or upgrading old infrastructure can be expensive and impractical. However, this breakthrough in software provides a way to optimize data centers at a comparat

By Diya Poluru; Technology Columnist; The Lawrenceville School, NJ In 1816, the first camera was invented. In the 1880s, the first headphones were invented. Far before the age of Bluetooth and miniscule, portable cameras, people could barely fathom the future of these two revolutionary technologies. But now, with technologies ranging from cameras that can fit in one’s palm and wireless earbuds, a new technology emerges: VueBuds. On April 13th, 2026, researchers at the Univer

By Emily Ma, The Lawrenceville School, NJ Imagine plugging in an electronic device and having it fully charged in seconds. With quantum batteries, this can become a reality. Researchers Rober Alicki and Mark Fannes, in 2013, proposed a method of storing and releasing energy with quantum mechanics that would allow batteries to be more efficient, durable, and convenient. Instead of relying on chemical reactions like conventional lithium-ion batteries, quantum batteries utilize

By Anvi Anand ’27, Oceana Li ’27, Kate Choi ’28, Diya Poluru ’29; Tech Column; The Lawrenceville School, NJ In March 2026, a dispute over the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in military environments arose between the San Francisco-based AI research company Anthropic and the U.S. government. Tensions between the company’s policies and military usage of their products were high, especially after the Venezuela incident, in which AI was utilized in an operation to capture Ve

By Naomi Choe, Jonathan Li, Jason Peng Technology Group; Fairbanks BEST Homeschool, AK Image sourced from nature.com Scientists at Caltech have developed a new robot called ATMO, or Aerially Transforming Morphobot, which can smoothly transition between drive and flight by transforming in mid-air. Most of the morphobot’s function and structure is similar to both drones and robocars. ATMO’s four rotors used for flight fold down so that the shrouds protecting the rotors become w

By Blake Hatwood Biochem Associate; The Lawrenceville School, NJ In September 2025, Meta unveiled its most advanced wearable technology: the Meta Ray-Ban Display , a pair of AI-powered glasses incorporating real-time artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities with augmented reality (AR) design. Unlike prior smart eyewear, these glasses are supported by Meta’s Neural Band , an electromyography (EMG) wristband that translates subtle muscle signals into precise digital commands.

By Esha Desai, The Lawrenceville School, NJ Imagine a world where people can have access to novel treatment options that are accessible to everyone. Ailments such as bacterial infections like black rot will become a thing of the past. The first steps seen in scientific history towards such a future are illustrated in Stanford University’s breakthrough research discussing the novel bacteriophages created through genome language models in September of 2025. Scientists at Stanfo

By Ananya Chopra, The Lawrenceville School, NJ A paper-thin actuator closely mimicking the role of the human muscle has recently been introduced in soft robotics, signaling a significant breakthrough in this innovative technology. The actuator developed by researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) and Samsung Electronics is remarkably thin and capable of mimicking biological muscle tissue with unprecedented precision in its movements. The six-direct
