MIT Technology Review is written for the lay person. It has very little to say about real technical matters. Also it doesn't have a letters from readers department, so one can't comment on the deficiencies of the articles.
I used to like the short stories at the end of the magazine, but they stopped.
I get more technical information from News Letters from University of Michigan. The latest thing to catch my attention was the use of focused ultrasound to destroy cancer tumors. The magic bullet to cure cancer is a tiny bubble that destroys the cell wall of each cancer cell, with no damage to surrounding tissue. The process was 95% effective in destroying liver cancer in a preliminary test.
