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...

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) www.technologyreview.com/2025/03/27/1...

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...
