Oh, it’s you again!
This week’s Five Things Tech hits the sweet spot between surprising insights and wild innovation. MIT Sloan flips the script on startup investing by showing that when investors argue the most about a startup, that’s actually a signal it might be onto something big. Over in China, the EV market is wobbling under the weight of government interference and over-investment—something that could ripple through global car markets. Gaza Sky Geeks reminds us that hope can grow even in hard places, offering skills and opportunity through tech even amid conflict. On the tech frontier, a grain-of-salt-sized brain implant sends out laser data that could revolutionize neuromedicine, but also raises big ethical questions. And inspired by the softness of our own eyes, engineers have built a robotic lens that focuses on its own—no power needed—pushing the boundaries of soft robotics and vision tech. That’s your wild, wired world in one.
Enjoy these Five Things Tech! ...
