15-minute cities’ don’t just improve mobility — they’re better for equality

It is obvious as this Covid-19 pandemic wears on that transport is being repositioned – both in our minds and our lives. Changeable travel restrictions and new virus strains are reshaping our mobility psychology. Despite the rollout of viable vaccines, any ‘return to normal’ for the foreseeable future will involve more work from home, more time spent locally, less socializing outside the household, and fewer trips for work and pleasure....

VĂĄ! 3 billion years ago, Mars looked a lot like Iceland

More than three billion years ago, Mars was home to vast oceans, and a new study shows this world may have once looked familiar — especially to the residents of Iceland. The Curiosity rover has been exploring Gale Crater on Mars since 2012. That region may have resembled modern Iceland, careful examination of the geology of Gale Crater reveals. Curiosity has been examining mudstones for more than eight years. However,... Read more â€ș

Netflix is testing a sleep timer for your late night binges

Have you ever binged on a TV show so much that you fell asleep mid-episode? The last you want is for the show to keep on playing indefinitely, potentially exposing you to spoilers once you wake up and resume the show later (yes, this has happened to me before, and it sucked). Fret no more: Netflix is testing a timer feature on Android that will let you pause a show... Read more â€ș

Kautilya Katariya, a computer whiz from the UK, became the youngest qualified computer programmer in the world last year at just six-years-old after taking a series of computer lessons including AI courses from IBM. When I was six, I thought action figures with Kung-Fu grip were the epitome of technology. Katariya currently has at least six different certifications across AI and data science and what’s sure to be a sky’s-the-limit... Read more â€ș

Google CEO slammed by AI ethics researcher for blaming public feud on transparency

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has credited the company’s transparency for the backlash over the firing of Timnit Gebru, earning a withering rebuke from the AI ethicist. Gebru’s controversial exit sparked an outcry about diversity and ethics at the company that shows no signs of abating. The influential computer scientist lost her job in December after a dispute over a research paper she co-authored. Pichai had tried to quell the outrage... Read more â€ș

MIT’s new ‘liquid’ neural network learns on the job — so robots can adapt to changing conditions

MIT researchers have invented an adaptive “liquid” neural network that could improve decision-making in self-driving cars and medical diagnosis. The algorithm adjusts to changes experienced by real-world systems by changing their underlying equations as they receive new data. “This is a way forward for the future of robot control, natural language processing, video processing — any form of time series data processing,” said Ramin Hasani, the study paper’s lead author....

Forget Hyperloop, check out China’s new 620kmph maglev prototype

Transport concepts like Hyperloop are getting many people hot under the collar. The idea of being able to travel between major cities in minutes rather than hours is certainly an exciting idea. But that’s just it, it’s an idea, and a long long way from reality. If you need something a little closer to reality to keep your high-speed train/tube travel whistle wet, check out this new magnetic levitation —... Read more â€ș

A frustrating timeline of Tesla Roadster delays

In 2020, Tesla was supposed to give us 1 million self-driving taxis and the new Roadster. We have neither, but to rub salt into the wound, the Roadster just got pushed back, again. The Tesla Roadster was the company’s first vehicle. It was a sort of mutant offspring from high-performance electric vehicle startup AC Propulsion and British sports carmaker Lotus. Launched in 2008, it put Tesla on the automotive map... Read more â€ș

How an army of sewer robots can help us fix our clogged pipes

Hidden from sight, under the UK’s roads, buildings, and parks, lie about one million kilometers of pipes. Maintaining and repairing these pipes require about 1.5 million road excavations a year, which causes either full or partial road closures. These works are noisy, dirty and cause a lot of inconveniences. They also cost around ÂŁ5.5 billion a year. It doesn’t have to be this way. Research teams like mine are working... Read more â€ș
