Introduction Motorola had a strong year thanks to its Razr foldables, however, the direction of the Edge series left something to be desired. The brand is one of the few available in the US outside of the Apple-Google-Samsung trinity and shouldn’t be overlooked, even when it doesn’t get things 100% right. Motorola’s mostly clean Android implementation and the advanced connectivity features (even on some lower-end models) add to what are already some of the better value-for-money phones on the market. Winners: Motorola Razr series The Razr 60 series – or as it is known in the US, the Razr 2025…

Our blue planet is a Goldilocks world. We’re at just the right distance from the Sun that Earth – like Baby Bear’s porridge – is not too hot or too cold, allowing our planet to be bathed in oceans of liquid water. But further out in our solar system are icy moons that eschew the Goldilocks principle, maintaining oceans and possibly even life far from the Sun. We call them icy moons because their surface, and part of their interior, is made of solid water-ice. There are over 400 icy moons in the solar system – most are teeny moonlets…

Until recently, I held the belief that Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in software development was predominantly suited for greenfield projects. However, the introduction of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) marks a significant shift in this paradigm. MCP emerges as a transformative enabler for legacy modernization—especially for large-scale, long-lived, and complex systems. As part of my exploration into modernizing Bahmni’s codebase, an open-source Hospital Management System and Electronic Medical Record (EMR), I evaluated the use of Model Context Protocol (MCP) to support the migration of legacy display controls. To guide this process, I adopted a workflow that I refer to as…

High school sophomore Abigail Merchant has made it her mission to use technology to reduce flood-related deaths. The 15-year-old lives in Orlando, Fla., a state where flooding is frequent in part because of its low elevation.The changing climate is increasing the risk.

“At MIT, innovation ranges from awe-inspiring technology to down-to-Earth creativity,” noted Chronicle, during a campus visit this year for an episode of the program. In 2025, MIT researchers made headlines across print publications, podcasts, and video platforms for key scientific advances, from breakthroughs in quantum and artificial intelligence to new efforts aimed at improving pediatric health care and cancer diagnosis.MIT faculty, researchers, students, alumni and staff helped demystify new technologies, highlighted the practical hands-on learning the Institute is known for, and shared what inspires their research with viewers, readers and listeners around the world. Below is a sampling of news moments…

On December 8, we hosted the first Empower & Connect Summit at Cisco’s campus in Raleigh, NC, bringing together partners, innovators, and communities to explore how technology can drive meaningful social impact. At the center of that energy was the Community Innovation Challenge. In partnership with Net Impact we invited students from around the world to pitch their boldest ideas: how would they use Cisco technology to address critical challenges in their own communities? We received 84 proposals from 12 countries, with the top five teams advancing to present in person at the Summit. There, a panel of experts evaluated…
