The Download: introducing our 35 Innovators Under 35 list for 2025

This is today's edition of the download, our weekday newsletter, which offers a daily dose of what is going on in the world of technology. Introduction: Our 35 innovators under 35 lists for 2025 The world is full of extraordinary young people who are equipped with ideas on how to crack difficult problems. Every year we recognize 35 such people from all over the world - all under 35 years. These scientists, inventors and entrepreneurs are working to alleviate climate change, accelerate scientific progress and relieve human suffering from diseases. Some start companies while others work hard in academic laboratories. They were selected by hundreds of nominees by expert judges and our newsroom employees. Get to know them all - including our 2025 innovator of the year - in these profiles. Why basic science deserves our bold investment - Julia R. Greer is a material scientist at the California Institute of Technology, judge for innovators of the with Technology Review under 35 and former award winner (2008). A modern chip the size of a human fingern sagel contains tens of billions of silicon transistors, each measured in nanometers - as many viruses. These tiny switches form the infrastructure behind almost every digital device used today. A large part of the fundamental understanding that moved the transistor technology forward came from federal research in the Federal States that the university research. However, thanks to the deep budget cuts proposed by the White House, this financing is under pressure. These losses have forced some universities to freeze the admission for students, to cancel internships and scale the summer research opportunities - and make it more difficult for young people to pursue scientific and technical careers. At a time that is dominated by short -term metrics and fast returns, it can be difficult to justify research whose applications may not apply for decades. This is exactly the types of efforts that we have to support if we want to secure our technological future. Read the whole story.
