Sugar powers more than just your morning coffee. It fuels industries—from food and beverages to biofuels and pharmaceuticals. But there’s a cost: traditional sugarcane and beet farming consume massive water, land, and fertilizer resources, and contribute to deforestation in some parts of the world. As global demand for sugar rises, scientists have been looking for more sustainable alternatives—ones that don’t require dedicated cropland or contribute to environmental stress. Now, they may have found one hidden in plain sight: agricultural waste. The Breakthrough Hiding in Cornfields This month, researchers from a joint USDA and university lab unveiled a promising method for…
These partnerships focus on developing advanced technologies that enable small spacecraft to perform missions more efficiently and at a lower cost. By fostering this ecosystem of cooperation, NASA aims to strengthen the United States’ position as a global leader in space exploration and technology. Why Collaborate? Space exploration has always been a complex and costly endeavor. As mission requirements evolve and become more ambitious, NASA recognizes the need to harness the expertise and innovation found outside its own walls. Industry and academia bring fresh ideas, cutting-edge technologies, and research capabilities that complement NASA’s objectives. By partnering with these external organizations,…
Using sub-6 GHz spectrum combined with 5G Advanced technology, the company reached an impressive 550 Mbps upload speed. This achievement not only highlights T-Mobile’s leadership in the industry but also marks a significant advancement for the entire mobile ecosystem. Why Uplink Speeds Matter Uplink speed refers to how fast data can be sent from a user’s device, such as a smartphone or tablet, to the network. While much of the early focus on 5G has been on improving download speeds, uplink performance is equally critical. High uplink speeds enhance activities like video conferencing, cloud storage uploads, live streaming, and real-time…

AI is powerful—but too often, it’s unpredictable. That’s the problem Salesforce AI Research is taking head-on: what it calls “jagged intelligence.” It’s the gap between what AI can do in theory—and what it actually does in messy, high-stakes business settings. From hallucinated outputs to inconsistent performance, AI’s reliability issues have long been a roadblock for enterprise adoption. Now, Salesforce is building the roadmap to close that gap. What Is “Jagged Intelligence”? The term refers to AI’s uneven capabilities—it can ace one task, then completely flub a related one. This makes it risky for critical workflows where trust, accuracy, and repeatability…
