Aluminum is essential to modern life; from the cars we drive to the packaging that protects our daily goods. Yet, bauxite, the raw material, is often hidden in remote locations. One of the world’s largest operations is Alcoa’s Juruti mine, located 900 kilometers inland along the Amazon River in Brazil, which produces 7.5 million metric tons of bauxite annually. Getting that ore to the global supply chain is a 24/7 logistical puzzle. Alcoa operates a 50-kilometer private railroad to move ore to its port in Pará, where massive stackers, reclaimers, and ship loaders transfer material onto a $200 million fleet…
MONTREAL — Rachel Doran, executive director at Clean Energy Canada, made the following statement in response to the federal government’s announced expansion of the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program:“The expansion of the Canada Greener Home Affordability Program (CGHAP) to four additional provinces is an important step to help Canadians in low- and medium-income households across the country unlock lower utility bills, more comfortable homes, and emissions reductions. “Clean Energy Canada welcomes this announcement and delivery of this program in British Columbia, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island as a step in the Government of Canada’s broader commitment to electrify one…
CNET’s deals team and I spend all week tracking discounts from major retailers like Amazon, Walmart and more to separate the real bargains from the inflated sales. While some promotions come and go quickly, there are still plenty of worthwhile deals available if you know where to look.Instead of spending hours comparing prices yourself, we’ve rounded up the standout discounts our shopping experts recommend this week. Whether you’re shopping for new tech, home upgrades or everyday essentials, these are the deals worth adding to your cart. This story is part of Amazon Prime Day, CNET’s guide to everything you need…
Medical imaging sits at the intersection of clinical urgency and technical complexity, making medical imaging software development one of the most demanding areas of healthcare IT. A Mayo Clinic study published in Academic Radiology found that, based on 255 eight-hour workdays per year, radiologists must review one image every three to four seconds to meet workload demands. And imaging volumes continue to rise as populations age and diagnostic protocols expand. At the same time, physician burnout, radiologist shortages, and the sheer cost of diagnostic errors put real pressure on healthcare systems across the globe. However, in recent years, there has…
retrieves the stats (clapCount, voterCount, responseCount, and readingTime) of Medium postsPhoto by Ryoji Iwata on UnsplashIn this article, I will explain how to retrieve the stats ( claps count, voter count, response count, and reading time) of Medium feed posts using a REST API, the lack of this feature in the Medium RSS feed is what motivated me to create this advanced Medium API. This is my 41st Medium article.Initial IntuitionI wanted to obtain the stats ( claps count, voter count, response count, and reading time) of my Medium posts while working on my personal website development. 2 years before when I implement…
A gold-enhanced nanowire photodetector embedded in a soft contact lens may bring continuous eyelid oxygen monitoring closer, while keeping the technology firmly in the preclinical stage. Study: A smart contact lens with plasmonic nano-confinement nanowire array for non-invasive ocular blood oxygen saturation monitoring. Image credit: AI-generated image created using ChatGPT/OpenAI In a recent ‘Article in Press’ published in the journal npj Flexible Electronics, researchers developed a smart contact lens incorporating a plasmonic nano-confinement nanowire array embedded with gold nanoparticles to enable high-sensitivity, non-invasive eyelid-capillary blood oxygen saturation monitoring. Nano-Enabled Ocular SpO2 Sensing Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) is a vital physiological…
For decades, the enterprise technology industry operated on a simple principle: software companies built products, and services firms helped enterprises implement, customize, and operate them. The relationship was highly complementary, but the businesses themselves remained largely separate. Today, however, the rise of agentic AI platforms is beginning to challenge that longstanding division. As enterprises move toward outcome-driven AI systems, we are witnessing a structural shift that is pulling software and services into a much deeper and more integrated relationship. The implications could reshape how technology is bought, sold, deployed, and monetized over the next decade. Why Software and Services Historically…
Hi readers! Shayla Love here, science journalist and longtime fan of Your Mileage May Vary. I’m honored to be subbing for Sigal while she’s out on parental leave. I’m diving into your questions as a way to help understand human nature and our choices through multiple lenses: philosophical, psychological, and beyond. Please send in any emotional, body/brain, sociological, perceptual, or other kind of life quandaries you might have.Being online is extremely stressful and unpleasant, and on days I don’t use Twitter, or Bluesky, or any other social media, I typically feel much better mentally — less stressed about the posts…
Contributed Article By Ferris Adi, Chief Information Security Officer, Trans Americas Fiber System Subsea cables have long been viewed as physical infrastructure, fiber on the ocean floor, landing stations, and cable ships. That view is no longer sufficient. Today’s subsea systems are defined less by steel and fiber, and more by the digital operating ecosystem that surrounds them. As these environments become more automated, remotely managed, and vendor-integrated, they are quietly transforming into critical cyber systems, and expanding the attack surface in ways many organizations have yet to fully recognize. The risk has shifted, but the narrative hasn’t Public discussion…
Congratulations to the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) Lab class of 2026! This year, BAIR celebrates another remarkable group of Ph.D. graduates whose curiosity, creativity, and perseverance have pushed the frontiers of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Their work spans the breadth of modern AI — robotics and embodied intelligence, large language models and reasoning, computer vision, generative modeling, AI safety, human-AI interaction, AI for science and healthcare, and much more. Along the way, they have published influential research, built systems with real-world impact, mentored their peers, and shaped the BAIR community for the better. Now they are headed everywhere…
