New research finds that the memories useful for future generalizations are held in the brain separately from those recording unusual events.
Scientists have designed a fundamentally new way to make light beams collide with each other—by reflecting them both on the same mirror in time. The team also showed off the beam-shaping capabilities of their technique, with possible applications in telecommunications and scientific measurement.

World4Solar, a Nevada-based company, has developed a freestanding solar canopy for residential use.
Known as Dynabeads, a novel optical signature within them confirms a target pathogen’s presence in under a second.
MIT engineers have discovered a new optical signature in a widely employed class of magnetic beads, enabling rapid detection of contaminants in various diagnostic tests.
For instance, their study, accessible on ArXiv (awaiting peer review), highlighted the beads’ newfound capacity to swiftly expose traces of the foodborne pathogen Salmonella.
When what we predict and what we measure don’t add up, that’s a sign there’s something new to learn. Could it be a new fundamental force?
Google Flights today is releasing a new feature that will help travelers better determine the right time to book. Rolling out this week, the company is debuting new insights that will leverage historical trend data that lets consumers see when prices have typically been lowest to their chosen destination on their selected dates.
The addition aims to help consumers answer the question as to whether it’s better to book their flight now or wait for lower prices.
For example, Google explains, the new insights could tell users that the cheapest time to book their trip is currently two months prior to departure or that, typically, prices for their trip have generally declined closer to the date of departure. With this new understanding of whether or not they’re getting the best deal, consumers may chose to either book immediately or wait for a better price.
The road to a quantum future may be longer and more winding than some expect, but the potential it holds is profound.
If the Sydney Harbour Bridge was rebuilt today engineers would design, build and test the new bridge in virtual worlds before a sod of dirt was turned.
A series of 15 high-severity vulnerabilities dubbed CoDe16 have been uncovered in CODESYS V3 SDK, posing remote code execution & DoS risks.
