For One Glorious Morning, a Website Saved San Francisco From Parking Tickets
The serial website builder Riley Walz launched a project that tracked San Francisco parking enforcement in real time—until the public data feed was cut off.
Engineers develop smarter AI to redefine control in complex systems
A new artificial intelligence breakthrough developed by researchers in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Florida Atlantic University offers a smarter, more efficient way to manage complex systems that rely on multiple decision-makers operating at different levels of authority.

When every second counts: How AI can speed up disaster response decisions
In an unfolding disaster situation, quick decisions need to be made on how to respond and where to direct resources, to preserve life and aid recovery efforts. With the rapid development of AI, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and satellite imagery, initial efforts have already been made to apply AI to disaster situations, giving quick insights …

Scientists just made atoms talk to each other inside silicon chips
Researchers at UNSW have found a way to make atomic nuclei communicate through electrons, allowing them to achieve entanglement at scales used in today’s computer chips. This breakthrough brings scalable, silicon-based quantum computing much closer to reality.
The Best Hybrid Mattresses for Couples, Back Pain, and More (2025)
Combine softness and support with a hybrid mattress. These are the ones our team tested and loved.
RFK Jr.’s Vaccine Panel Votes Down Its Own Proposal to Require Prescriptions for Covid-19 Shots
In a chaotic meeting, ACIP voted not to recommend a prescription requirement for Covid-19 vaccines. Some panelists seemed unaware of the point of the meeting, while others went on strange tangents.
Two-stage framework reconstructs sharp 4D scenes from blurry handheld videos
Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) is a fascinating technique that creates three-dimensional (3D) representations of a scene from a set of two-dimensional (2D) images, captured from different angles. It works by training a deep neural network to predict the color and density at any point in 3D space.
Vaccine Panel Stacked by RFK Jr. Recommends Delaying MMRV Immunization
The vaccine advisory group ACIP, not all members of which seemed to know what the group does, recommended to the CDC that combined MMRV shots not be given before age 4.
Magnetic tunnel junctions mimic synapse behavior for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing
The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) poses challenges to today’s computer technology. Conventional silicon processors are reaching their limits: they consume large amounts of energy, the storage and processing units are not interconnected and data transmission slows down complex applications.
