Moving beyond velocity: Measuring real business impact

May 8, 2025 How can engineering teams move beyond traditional metrics like velocity to create real business impact? In this episode of Leaders of Code, Dan Lines, cofounder and COO of LinearB; Ben Matthews, Senior Director of Engineering at Stack Overflow; and host Ben Popper talk about why velocity should be a diagnostic tool, not […]

A new light on neural connections

In the 1660s, with the help of a simple, homemade light microscope that magnified samples more than 250 times, a Dutch fabric merchant named Antoine van Leeuwenhoek became the first person to document a close-up view of bacteria, red blood cells, sperm cells, and many other scientific sights. Since then, light microscopy has solidified its

New discovery shows how molecules can mute heat like music

Imagine you are playing the guitar — each pluck of a string creates a sound wave that vibrates and interacts with other waves. Now shrink that idea down to a small single molecule, and instead of sound waves, picture vibrations that carry heat. A team of engineers and materials scientists in the Paul M. Rady

Smart spongy device captures water from thin air

Engineers from Australia and China have invented a sponge-like device that captures water from thin air and then releases it in a cup using the sun’s energy, even in low humidity where other technologies such as fog harvesting and radiative cooling have struggled. The water-from-air device remained effective across a broad range of humidity levels

Ultra-thin bismuth holds unexpected promise for green electronics

Electronic devices rely on materials whose electrical properties change with temperature, making them less stable in extreme conditions. A discovery by McGill University researchers that challenges conventional wisdom in physics suggests that bismuth, a metal, could serve as the foundation for highly stable electronic components. The researchers observed a mysterious electrical effect in ultra-thin bismuth
