About Conan Boyle
Conan Boyle is a founding writer at ObjectWire and the publication’s primary voice on science, biotechnology, and emerging technology. Based in Austin, Texas, Boyle brings a research-grounded perspective to complex scientific topics — translating peer-reviewed findings, clinical data, and laboratory breakthroughs into authoritative reporting for a professional audience.
A graduate of North Carolina State University’s journalism program, Boyle’s science reporting covers the full life-sciences spectrum: CRISPR gene editing, AI-driven drug discovery, photonic computing architectures, and the semiconductor startups challenging NVIDIA’s data center dominance — including a deep-dive profile of Neurophos and their photonic AI chip roadmap.
His gaming coverage brings the same analytical precision to video games. He has written extensively on Nintendo’s Switch 2 ecosystem — including the technical breakdown of Donkey Kong Bananza’s 347-million-voxel destruction engine revealed at GDC 2026 — as well as Pokémon Pokopia’s record-breaking 2.2 million launch copies, and Bungie’s Marathon balance patches.
Boyle’s work is characterized by primary-source discipline: sourcing named researchers, published studies, and official regulatory filings before speculation. He has reported on AI hardware startups, LLM infrastructure improvements, and the evolving convergence of neuroscience with machine learning.
