One of NASA’s Most Important Deep Space Observatories Hit by Spanish Wildfires
Flames burned through the Deep Space Communications Complex near Madrid, but NASA has been unable to assess the damage as a wildfire emergency grips the region.
Get ready for mobile ‘stores on wheels.’ Research shows they can outperform traditional retail stores
As retailers increasingly embrace artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and autonomous vehicles, a new retail model is beginning to emerge: mobile stores that drive directly to customers instead of waiting for customers to come to them.
An Introduction to Loop Engineering
It’s tempting to treat loop engineering as something invented in a single week in June, but the mechanics behind it are closer to five years old, and knowing the lineage is what separates a real understanding of the idea from just repeating the trend piece.
Best practices for applying Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to code generation workflows
This post continues our series on best practices with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails.

An FDA Panel Just Endorsed These Unproven Peptides
Outside experts—some with a vested interest in peptides—recommended adding a number of the amino acids to the FDA’s bulks list, including the “Wolverine stack” touted by Joe Rogan and other influencers.
AI extracts hidden material rules from microscopic data to predict large-scale behavior
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed artificial intelligence (AI) methods that learn the large-scale behavior of complex materials from microscopic data. By automatically identifying a small number of hidden variables that capture the collective behavior of a system, the methods can predict how materials evolve over time while reducing the need …

Why Lettuce Is Always Making People Sick
The cyclospora diarrhea outbreak isn’t an isolated incident. It’s part of a pattern of leafy greens wreaking digestive havoc.
MIT’s new lidar chip could give self-driving cars a wider view
MIT engineers have found a way to give chip-based lidar a wider, clearer view without relying on moving parts. Their design uses differently shaped antennas that can sit close together without scrambling one another’s signals. In tests, the system sharply reduced interference while steering a single precise beam across a broad field of view.
