This Solar-Powered Dashcam Watches Your Car While You’re Off ‘Finding Yourself’ in Europe

I remember when I had a car. I was living in Queens, and avoiding tickets was an absolute nightmare—that is, until I was informed of a neighborhood cheat code. There was a street sort of near where I lived where I could just leave my car—no alternate side parking, predetermined hours, nothing. Naturally, I went straight there and parked my car and tried my best to forget that I had one until I needed it. I thought about that car every single day. Was it still there?

2025 Innovator of the Year: Sneha Goenka for developing an ultra-fast sequencing technology

Goenka saw a better way: Build a real-time system that could “stream” the sequencing data, analyzing it as it was being generated, like streaming a film on Netflix rather than downloading it to watch later. To do this, she designed a cloud computing architecture to pull in more processing power.
