We're living through an unprecedented paradox: your best innovation ideas aren't losing to bad ideas – they're losing to exhaustion. The Hidden Crisis Every executive I know is evaluating 40+ innovation proposals monthly.

Tsinghua’s Agent Hospital was made up of 14 AI doctors upon launch. At its core, is MedAgent-Zero, the self-evolving AI framework developed by the University’s AIR (Institute for AI Industry Research). Moreover, in November of 2024, the “Zijing AI Doctor” was launched. Developed by a Tsinghua University spin-out start-up, Zijing Zhikang, to serve as the core component in AI Agent’s ecosystem.1 The system features 42 AI doctors across 21 clinical specialties, covering over 300 diseases. Furthermore, each specialty has trained its virtual agents on over ten common conditions. And finally, by creating a pool of half a million synthetic patient cases to test and evolve diagnostic accuracy. These AI doctors can treat 10,000 patients with 93% accuracy in a matter of days, a feat that would take real doctors years to complete.

Political and social changes in the U.S. and other Western democracies in the 21st century have triggered growing concerns about possible erosion of academic freedom.In the past, colleges and universities largely decided whom to admit and hire, what to teach, and which research to support. Increasingly, those prerogatives are being challenged.

Despite the rush to integrate powerful new models, about 5% of AI pilot programs achieve rapid revenue acceleration; the vast majority stall, delivering little to no measurable impact on P&L. The research—based on 150 interviews with leaders, a survey of 350 employees, and an analysis of 300 public AI deployments—paints a clear divide between success stories and stalled projects.

J’ai testé pour vous pendant un mois le Minimal Phone — ce smartphone e-paper à clavier physique. Je voulais savoir si la combinaison d’un écran papier noir et blanc, d’un clavier physique et d’Android était une option viable pour reprendre en main sa vie numérique dans l’esprit de l’accompagnement que propose TeleCoop à ses abonnés mobile.

Unlike industries like beauty that maintain owned retail spaces for immersive brand experiences, packaging is often the only brand ambassador for grocery-bound products and their loyalty programmes are often reliant on retailers as well. Innovating in packaging designs can be a meaningful and low-cost brand activation for F&B players to encourage direct engagement.By viewing packaging as an opportunity for purposeful dialogue with consumers, companies can develop strategies that turn transactional moments into emotional bonds. Interactive technologies like QR codes and NFC chips offer a cost-effective loyalty solution, but most brands underutilise them by linking only to basic product information. The real opportunity lies in crafting unique post-scan experiences that deliver exclusive content, turning each scan into a branded moment that deepens relationships. In fact, consumers are likely to grow into brand ambassadors through positive technology experiences.

Three independent models, grounded in public data and two decades of telecom experience, to estimate the real cost of building 6G.

Climate experts say it will hobble the country's efforts to rein in rising temperatures and lessen the impacts, such as more intense storms, droughts and wildfires. The federal government's own research shows climate-fueled extreme weather is already causing $150 billion in losses a year in the US.

En à peine dix ans, un établissement marocain a réussi à se faire une place dans le classement des meilleures classes préparatoires pour les écoles d'ingénieurs les plus prestigieuses. Niveau remarquable en maths, quasi-parité dans les classes : le modèle a de quoi susciter la curiosité en France.

In recent years, the revolutionary field of immunotherapy has drastically reshaped the landscape of cancer treatment, pushing the boundaries of what modern medicine can achieve. Among these advancements, Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy stands out as one of the most promising strategies that could redefine the future of cancer eradication. Building upon decades of immunological research, this innovative therapy harnesses the very cells of the immune system to specifically target and eliminate malignant cells, offering new hope to patients with otherwise refractory cancers.

Bloated, overpaid, outpaced by AI, and under fire from the Trump administration—big consulting firms confront a future they can’t outsource.

Point Topic tracks changes in the 4G LTE / LTE Advanced and 5G tariffs provided by mobile operators across Europe. This report presents the latest tariff benchmarks as of the end of December 2024. The data is collated within Point Topic’s Mobile Broadband Tariffs dataset.

L’avis consultatif de la cour est à la hauteur des enjeux. Il dresse un cadre juridique robuste, articulé autour du droit international coutumier, des droits humains, du droit de la mer et de plusieurs traités clés, dont la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques de 1992, le Protocole de Kyoto de 1997 et l’Accord de Paris de 2015.

Among the key findings, the report concludes that carbon dioxide (CO2) -induced warming appears to be less damaging economically than commonly believed, and that aggressive mitigation strategies could be more harmful than beneficial. Additionally, the report finds that U.S. policy actions are expected to have undetectably small direct impacts on the global climate and any effects will emerge only with long delays. 

Unilever, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, PepsiCo, and other big names have signed an open letter calling for a ‘robust’ and ‘ambitious’ plastic pollution treaty to be finalized at INC-5.2. As members of the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty, over 290 businesses, financial institutions, and NGOs state in the letter that they consider harmonized regulations the “most effective way to pursue a lasting impact on plastic pollution while delivering economic, environmental and social value” at a national and global level.

Patients with type 2 diabetes initiated with metformin monotherapy had longer survival than did matched, non-diabetic controls. Those treated with sulphonylurea had markedly reduced survival compared with both matched controls and those receiving metformin monotherapy. This supports the position of metformin as first-line therapy and implies that metformin may confer benefit in non-diabetes. Sulphonylurea remains a concern.

Shipments have propelled Ireland, a country of 5.4 million, to the second-largest goods-trade imbalance with the U.S., behind China.

The World Health Organization estimates that more than 118 million blood donations are collected each year—with 40 percent coming from high-income countries, home to 16 percent of the world's population. This means a large portion of the global population has limited access to blood transfusion treatment. Universal artificial blood could reduce preventable deaths in injury, surgery and childbirth—settings where supply mismatches or stockouts cost millions of lives annually in low-income nations alone.

Et si le fromage pouvait s’emballer lui-même ? C’est l’idée un peu folle – mais bien réelle – imaginée par Nestlé en collaboration avec l’agence Ogilvy Colombia. Baptisé Self-Packing Cheese, ce projet expérimental transforme un sous-produit laitier souvent jeté, le petit-lait, en un emballage biodégradable capable de protéger… du fromage.
