Researchers at Oregon State University have designed and fabricated the world's smallest electro-optic modulator, which could mean major reductions in energy used by data centers and supercomputers.

Tractor beams, the stuff of campy alien invasion films, are nothing new in the real world. You can 3D-print your own small version, but it's unlikely we'll see one levitating a whole human anytime soon.

But before it sinks its machines into the ground and tunnels to victory, the Boring Company has to do something truly monumental: get past local government.

Throughout the near entirety of human history, a population's understanding of what's going on in the world has been controlled by those in power.
