Facebook, the social media giant launched by Mark Zuckerberg as a Harvard side project, recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. Despite ongoing predictions and declarations of its demise, Facebook continues to defy expectations, attracting a staggering number of users. With over 3 billion monthly active users, Facebook is utilized by almost half of the global population.
Electric grid stability is becoming increasingly crucial as the world shifts to intermittent renewable power sources. In this context, scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK), have developed an algorithm that utilizes signals from pumped storage hydropower (PSH) projects to predict grid stability. This algorithm provides critical situational
Meta’s manipulated media policy has been deemed “incoherent” and lacking in justification by the company’s Oversight Board. The board’s decision, issued on Monday, stated that the policy places too much emphasis on whether a video was altered through artificial intelligence (AI), rather than considering the potential harm it could cause. This article will explore the
Programmable photonic integrated circuits (PPICs) have the potential to revolutionize computation, sensing, and signaling by leveraging light waves for a wide range of applications. Researchers at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in South Korea, in collaboration with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), have made a significant breakthrough
A year ago, the digital ad market was in a state of slump, with Meta’s finance chief, Susan Li, expressing concerns about weak advertising demand. Both Meta and Google experienced a decline in ad revenue, which was attributed to factors such as inflation, supply chain issues, and global conflict. However, the narrative has since changed,
Naughty Dog’s co-president, Neil Druckmann, has hinted at the possibility of a third installment in The Last Of Us franchise. While this is not a confirmation of a new game in development, Druckmann believes that there might be “one more chapter to this story.” In a recent Making-Of feature, he expressed his thoughts on the
Bethesda’s highly anticipated Indiana Jones game, titled “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle,” is set to release on various platforms. Initially announced as an Xbox and PC exclusive during Microsoft’s Xbox Developer Direct event, there are now indications that the game might also come to Sony’s PlayStation 5 (PS5). This shift toward multi-platform releases is
Instagram, the popular social media platform, is constantly seeking ways to improve user experience and provide new features to enhance the overall aesthetic of user profiles.

The aviation market is currently facing significant challenges due to delays caused by supply chain constraints for both Boeing and Airbus. Boeing has been grappling with difficulties surrounding its star plane, the 737 MAX, prompting a major safety incident on Alaska Airlines in January. As a result, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has frozen Boeing’s
Semiconductor moiré superlattices have proven to be intriguing material structures for the study of correlated electron states and quantum physics phenomena. A recent study conducted by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) delves deeper into the underlying physics of these structures and proposes a new theoretical framework. This article aims to analyze the study
