The global shopping map has been redrawn, and your flight plan may be outdated. For years, Paris was the reflex splurge and Tokyo the “culture trip with a little shopping on the side.” The most committed shoppers now build routes around Seoul’s dermatology corridors and Singapore’s air-conditioned superblocks, where retail, dining, and leisure sit under the same pane of glass. This year’s Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards for shopping confirm the shift: half of our top ten destinations sit in East and Southeast Asia, where the future of retail is already playing out in beauty labs, skybridge megamalls, and…

It would take about 30 minutes for a nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) to travel from Russia to the United States. If launched from a submarine, it could arrive even faster than that. Once the launch is detected and confirmed as an attack, the president is briefed. At that point, the commander-in-chief might have about two or three minutes at most to decide whether to launch hundreds of America’s own ICBMs in retaliation or risk losing the ability to retaliate at all.This is an absurd amount of time to make any consequential decision, much less what would potentially be the…

A stride towards machines that sense and react to the world like humans has been made with the creation of a single artificial neuron that can replicate activity from various brain areas. Scientists have built a “transneuron”, which alternates between functions related to movement, planning, and vision. Additionally, it uses electrical pulses to process information, bringing hardware closer to biological computation.Scientists from the Salk Institute, the University of Southern California, and Loughborough University, England, created the device to mimic actual brain activity. Conventional artificial neurons are limited to a single task. By changing its electrical parameters, the new “transneuron” switches…
