The construction industry has always been complex, with projects involving countless moving parts—labor, materials, timelines, budgets, and stakeholders. For decades, many of these elements were managed through disconnected systems, spreadsheets, and paper-based processes. Today, the evolution of construction technology is being driven by advancements in ERP (enterprise resource planning), project management, and accounting systems. Journey back a couple of decades. Historically, construction firms often relied on separate tools for different functions. Project managers tracked schedules in one system, accountants managed finances in another, and executives relied on periodic reports that were often outdated by the time they were reviewed. This…

Discovered in 2011, MXenes are a fast-expanding family of ultra-thin inorganic materials. They are made from stacked layers of transition metals combined with carbon or nitrogen, with atoms attached to their outer surfaces. These surface atoms are not just decorative. They play a central role in how the material behaves. “They strongly influence how electrons move through the material, how stable it is, and how it interacts with light, heat, and chemical environments,” explains Dr. Mahdi Ghorbani-Asl from the Institute of Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research at HZDR. Until now, most MXenes have been produced using chemical etching, a…

For years, application development platforms have competed on familiar dimensions: speed of build, workflow orchestration, integration depth, deployment flexibility, and governance. Leading platforms such as Appian, Pega, and ServiceNow have built strong positions by enabling enterprises to develop deterministic applications centered on rules, forms, and workflows. Until recently, these platforms benefited from a relatively stable definition of what an application is. Enterprise applications were largely expected to be predictable, structured, and tightly governed systems of record or systems of workflow. Even as low-code and no-code paradigms accelerated development, the underlying assumption held: applications execute predefined logic against known data inputs…

Gibraltar has taken a notable step toward reshaping its digital economy, issuing its first-ever license to a prediction markets operator amid pressure on its core online gambling sector. Authorities approved the license for Predict Street Ltd on March 26, formally adding the company to the territory’s register of betting intermediaries. The move was announced in parliament by Justice, Trade and Industry Minister Nigel Feetham, who framed it as part of a broader strategy to modernize Gibraltar’s regulatory framework and reduce reliance on traditional gaming revenues. While Gibraltar is in the process of overhauling its gambling laws, officials processed the application…

For years, persuasion has been the most valuable skill in digital commerce. Brands spend millions on ad copy, testing button colours, and designing landing pages to encourage people to click “Buy Now.” All of this assumes the buyer is a person who can see. But an autonomous AI shopping agent does not have eyes.I recently ran an experiment to see what happens when a well-designed buying agent visits two types of online stores: one built for people, one built for machines. Both stores sold hiking jackets. Merchant A used the kind of marketing copy brands have refined for years: “The…

Life after retirement often brings a mix of calm, curiosity, and new possibilities. Many people step into this stage looking for comfort and stability while still wanting room to explore. A comfortable future usually grows out of simple habits and thoughtful planning rather than dramatic changes. Comfort during retirement depends on several elements working together. A reliable financial plan supports confidence. A balanced lifestyle brings a sense of ease. Supportive relationships, meaningful activities, and practical home choices also play a major role. Setting Clear Expectations for Your New Chapter Many retirees enter this period with excitement, though it can help…

AI adoption is accelerating, and it comes with a surge in bandwidth demand, low-latency requirements, and operational complexity. For broadband service providers, the pressure is increasing as video analytics, generative AI (GenAI) agents, immersive applications, and enterprise automation reshape network traffic patterns.  The Cisco Agile Services Networking and Cisco Unified Edge platforms were built to help providers meet these challenges. They create scalable, service-centric, AI-ready foundations that help reduce network strain, enable differentiated services, and support sustainable revenue growth.  Figure 1: A sample network architecture with Cisco Routed PON used in the access network—one of the many Agile Services Networking solutions that teams can implement to deliver quality customer experiences while controlling costs  Reducing backhaul demand with local AI processing  Many AI workloads, especially inferencing, originate at the network edge: cameras, sensors, Wi-Fi devices, enterprise applications, and…

The healthcare industry is undergoing a period of unprecedented transformation. The expansion of virtual health solutions, cloud-based apps and AI-enabled tools used within clinical workflows will only increase as Federal funding programs like the Rural Health Transformation Program incentivize digital transformation. This evolution in care delivery is long awaited and much needed in order for healthcare to become more scalable and to help drive down operational costs. However, the rapid adoption of technology can present a potentially dangerous paradox- as organizations modernize to support operational efficiency and empower clinicians to improve patient outcomes, they are simultaneously expanding their attack surface.…

The opinions expressed here by Trellis expert contributors are their own, not those of Trellis. A risk that the sustainability field isn’t talking about enough is algorithmic greenwashing. This is when AI tools trained on decades of corporate sustainability communications reproduce the language of greenwashing as an emergent property of their training data.  We know because we built an AI agent for nature and biodiversity and watched it happen in real time. Through our work leading the United Nations Global Compact’s Think Lab on Nature and Biodiversity, we observed a pattern: the barrier to business action isn’t a lack of…
