Technology & Computing Breakthroughs

Quantum Computing Architecture: A breakthrough 3D wiring architecture and chip fabrication method have been announced that can enable 10,000-qubit quantum processors to fit into a space smaller than today's 100-qubit chips, a massive leap in processing power and miniaturization.

Agentic AI and Autonomous Systems: The trend of Artificial Intelligence is shifting toward "Agentic AI," where AI systems move from simply executing tasks to autonomously learning, adapting, and collaborating as virtual co-workers or in coordinating complex logistics.

Software-Defined Aircraft Manufacturing: Saab announced the world's first software-defined aircraft fuselage, developed with Divergent Technologies. This technology uses industrial-rate 3D printing and universal robotic assembly to drastically reduce the number of parts (by a factor of 100) and dramatically lower lead times in assembly.

Next-Generation Batteries: New solid-state sodium-ion batteries are being developed that offer a cheaper and safer alternative to conventional lithium-ion systems, which could pave the way for more sustainable electric vehicles (EVs).
