We typically spend 80% of our time indoors, where the quality of the air we breathe depends on the age and type of building we occupy, as well as indoor pollution and outdoor pollution sources. But also playing an important role is the kind of HVAC system used to heat, ventilate and cool the building, […]
Researchers gave participants face tattoos that can track when their brain is working too hard. Published May 29 in the Cell Press journal Device, the study introduces a non-permanent wireless forehead e-tattoo that decodes brainwaves to measure mental strain without bulky headgear. This technology may help track the mental workload of workers like air traffic
Adopting new digital systems to help oceangoing container ships get in line to offload their cargo at busy ports appears to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 16-24%, according to researchers at UC Santa Barbara. Not only would this relatively simple intervention reduce emissions, but the technology to implement these measures already exists and is
May 29, 2025 This year, we’re not just collecting data; we’re reflecting on the last year of questions, answers, hallucinations, job changes, tech stacks, memory allocations, models, systems and agents—together. [Ed. note: The survey is now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated!] Fifteen years. Few things in the technology community last as long as
May 29, 2025 What challenges do organizations face when adopting AI, and why is understanding its limitations key to success? In this episode of Leaders of Code, Ellen Brandenberger, Senior Director of Product for Knowledge Solutions at Stack Overflow, sits down with Dan Shiebler, Head of Machine Learning at Abnormal AI, to explore the complexities
Some of the most promising materials for future technologies come in layers just one atom thick — graphene, e.g., a sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, prized for its exceptional strength and conductivity. While hundreds of such materials exist, truly merging them into something new has remained a challenge. Most efforts simply
There’s a strange loop taking over social media right now. Scroll through TikTok, YouTube Live, or Instagram, and you’ll see a parade of “digital marketing experts” promoting their latest PDF guide, online course, or coaching program. What’s it about? Digital marketing. But not the kind that helps actual businesses improve performance, it’s a course on
As fast as modern electronics have become, they could be much faster if their operations were based on light, rather than electricity. Fiber optic cables already transport information at the speed of light; to do computations on that information without translating it back to electric signals will require a host of new optical components. Engineering
Imagine if you could talk to your Salesforce database. When we first heard about large language models (LLM), that’s where our heads went. A significant amount of business data resides within any given Salesforce instance, and the user interfaces to that data can be both information-rich and overwhelming. We’re always trying to make it easy
Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have designed a liquid hydrogen storage and delivery system that could help make zero-emission aviation a reality. Their work outlines a scalable, integrated system that addresses several engineering challenges at once by enabling hydrogen to be used as a clean fuel and also as a built-in cooling medium
