Simulating the Future: The Role of Digital Twins in Transportation Planning Q&A with Dr. Anu Kuncheria

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-09-25 22:00:35

Digital twins—virtual models that simulate real-world city dynamics—are transforming urban transportation and mobility planning. These intelligent systems integrate real-time data, machine learning (ML) algorithms, and transportation research to optimize citywide solutions. By simulating traffic patterns, travel demand, and road dynamics, cities can make informed, equitable decisions that benefit all residents. Yet, critical questions arise as urban areas embrace these artificial intelligence (A

Apple and Google face new rules governing how they run their smartphone software and app stores in the UK, as Britain’s antitrust agency looks to impose new European-style controls on the Big Tech companies. The proposed interventions could trim fees of up to 30 percent that Apple and Google charge for digital transactions through their mobile app stores, as well as prevent them from designing their systems to favor their own apps and services.

Apple's Liquid Glass: When Aesthetics Beat Function

I watched the initial presentation during WWDC 2025.

How Virtual Design Can Change the Future of Research and Development

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-09-28 06:00:40

Integrating physical and virtual testing environments into research and development (R&D) is rapidly moving from a cutting-edge concept to standard practice across many industries. Organizations that take this approach gain a variety of benefits that improve efficiency. Among the advantages is the ability to minimize prototype builds, optimize test cell usage, and enable faster design iterations through digital twin technology and data feedback loops between physical testing and engineering mode

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-09-28 05:10:00

Geothermal startup Quaise certainly has an unconventional approach when it comes to destroying rocks: it uses a new form of drilling technology to melt holes through them. The company hopes it’s the key to unlocking geothermal energy and making it feasible anywhere. Quaise’s technology could theoretically be used to tap into the Earth’s heat from anywhere on the globe. But some experts caution that reinventing drilling won’t be as simple, or as fast, as Quaise’s leadership hopes. Read the ful

Ask any founder or investor: fundraising is never easy. And in a market with this level of uncertainty, the difficulties are compounded. “Everyone has to go through fundraising, and it’s a relatively challenging market right now,” Kyle Teamey, managing partner at RA Capital Planetary Health, told TechCrunch. “That’s good for a bit of empathy.” Teamey and his colleague Brigid O’Brien, also a managing partner with the firm, know this as well as anyone.

Hidden Sensors Reveal Filthy Truth About Handwashing in Hospital Bathrooms

Here’s something that will make you lose just a bit more faith in humanity—or at least reach for some hand wipes. New research shows that even in hospitals, a substantial number of people aren’t bothering to wash their hands. Scientists from the University of Surrey in England led the study, installing sensors near hospital toilet and sink pipes to keep track of people’s handwashing. Nearly half of toilet users skipped the sink after flushing, they found. The researchers say more effective stra

Installing apps on Linux? 4 ways it's different than any other OS - and mistakes to avoid

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET When I first started using Linux in the late 90s, there was really only one way to install an application. You would download the app, unpack the archive, run the ./configure command, build the app with make, and then install it with make install. Inevitably, when you ran through that course, you would stumble because of dependencies and have to locate the dependency, run through the same process as you just did (only with the new software), and then find out the ne
