Driving a 2026 Ioniq 9 SUV around the Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant in Georgia can feel like a victory lap for the South Korean automaker. Hyundai’s electric flagship carves out room for three America-centric rows of seats, from a booming brand whose EVs and hybrids already make up one in every four US sales. Even better, the Ioniq 9 and smaller Ioniq 5 are emerging from a futuristic new factory in America, giving Hyundai a defensible bulwark against the tariffs and onshoring fervor of Donald T

In the 1980s, there were a series of writers who challenged the way people thought of the then-growing popularity of colour television and news media. I have written before about Neil Postman, and his fear of our world becoming a ‘trivial society’ and Marshall McLuhan, who warned us that ‘the medium is the message’. (Technology is not just a tool, embedded within it is a message.) I’ve been searching for a modern author who can do in our times what these authors did then. Challenge assumptions.

It would be hard to overstate the impact that Peter Thiel has had on the career of Sam Altman. After Altman sold his first startup in 2012, Thiel bankrolled his first venture fund, Hydrazine Capital. Thiel saw Altman as an inveterate optimist who stood at “the absolute epicenter, maybe not of Silicon Valley, but of a Silicon Valley zeitgeist.” As Thiel put it, “If you had to look for the one person who represented a millennial tech person, it would be Altman.” Each year, Altman would point Thie

In colloids as in biofilms, these interactions are governed by two opposing forces. One is repulsive: Two particles or two cells can’t physically occupy the same space at the same time. The other force is attractive. Cells are covered with sticky proteins that can fasten two cells together, much like the medium binding a colloid. If the repulsive force is stronger, cells don’t aggregate. But if the attractive force is stronger, it can spark the initial formation of a biofilm. What differentiate
