Electric vehicle chargers mounted on utility poles are being used to great success in Melrose.

While electric vehicles are becoming more common, there are still multiple factors to consider before making the switch. Electric vehicles are still generally expensive, so price is a factor. But another barrier preventing the expansion of electric vehicle use is access to charging stations.

Many communities now offer public EV charging stations, but owners still benefit from having their own charging capabilities in their garage or driveway. What about those that don’t have those types of spaces where they live? An innovative solution is playing out in Melrose. The city has become one of the first in the nation to install EV charging stations mounted on utility poles along its streets.

These stations have multiple benefits. Most EV charging stations

Tiger Woods, regardless of the fact that he is currently absent from the field, is still active on the golf scene. TaylorMade’s Stealth driver is a real refresh on the golf scene. New technology enables many things. Many expect the company to make a big deal with the Stealth driver.

Keith Sbarbaro, TaylorMade’s VP of Tour Operations, emphasized that the company is trying to improve things. Some players may have problems with it, but Woods is one of the first to try the new technology. Strange, because otherwise, he is not a fan of new things.

“The transition into Stealth this year has been seamless for everyone on our staff,” Sbarbaro told GOLF.com. “Guys have loved it. For whatever reason, guys fought a bit more last season to get into SIM2.

It’s not easy to convert all of these top players into the new stuff every year —

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — New York City is trying to put the brakes on speeding by implementing new technology in city fleet vehicles as part of a pilot program.

Major Eric Adams and Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) Commissioner Dawn Pinnock announced the implementation of active intelligent speed assistance (ISA) technology in 50 vehicles.

ISA technology restricts a vehicle’s maximum speed, preventing it from exceeding local speed limits.

The pilot program will offer a tool to regulate and standardize safe driving among city employees and is the latest safety initiative to be implemented as part of the DCAS Safe Fleet Transition Plan for city fleet units.

“Speeding ruins lives, so we must take action to prevent it, and New York City is leading by example by implementing new technology to reduce speeds on city fleet vehicles,” Adams said. “Our streets must be livable for everyone, and this technology

A new technology called High Tide Home System raises homes to avoid severe flooding during hurricanes.

On August 13, 2004, Hurricane Charley struck Charlotte County leaving businesses and homes destroyed.

Kevin Doyle, owner of Celtic Ray Public House said, “It was terrifying. We were pretty smug. We had a few pints, the place was evacuated so we hid in the pub. Thinking it was going to go past us to Tampa and it didn’t.”

Former WINK News Chief Meteorologist Jim Farrell made the call first about the hurricane changing directions and heading towards our coast.

Doyle and his son Max Doyle were not expecting the hurricane to head toward them.

“We hid in the bathroom, one of the bathrooms that had no windows. And we saw the windows pop out front and the doors fly out. Then the roof started flying

The human genome’s inner workings could be revealed through new Cornell-developed technology.

Researchers from Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Weill Cornell Medicine, and the New York Genome Center have created a new technique to evaluate the three-dimensional structure of the human[{” attribute=””DNA, or how the genome folds, on a massive scale. The genome is the entire set of genetic instructions, either DNA or RNA, that allow an organism to function.

Using this technique, the researchers showed that groups of simultaneously interacting regulatory elements in the genome, as opposed to pairs of these elements, may influence cell activity, including gene expression. Their research, which was recently published in the journal Nature Biotechnology, may help clarify the connection between cellular identity and genome structure.

“Knowing the three-dimensional genome

But Meta’s model is available only upon request, and it has a license that limits its use for research purposes. Hugging Face goes a step further. The meetings detailing its work over the past year are recorded and uploaded online, and anyone can download the model free of charge and use it for research or to build commercial applications.

A big focus for BigScience was to embed ethical considerations into the model from its inception, instead of treating them as an afterthought. LLMs are trained on tons of data collected by scraping the internet. This can be problematic, because these data sets include lots of personal information and often reflect dangerous biases. The group developed data governance structures specifically for LLMs that should make it clearer what data is being used and who it belongs to, and it sourced different data sets from around the world that weren’t readily available

Human tears could carry a flood of useful information.

With just a few drops, a new technique can spot eye disease and even glimpse signs of diabetesscientists report July 20 in ACS Nano.

“We wanted to demonstrate the potential of using tears to detect disease,” says Fei Liu, a biomedical engineer at Wenzhou Medical University in China. It’s possible the droplets could open a window for scientists to peer into the entire body, he says, and one day even let people quickly test their tears at home.
