How U.S. home sellers are helping buyers make a deal in a stagnant housing market
Not long ago, a homeowner in America might reasonably wager they could sell their home fairly quickly, and for more than their asking price. That’s unlikely to be a winning bet now.Across the nation, a stagnant housing market is leaving many sellers in limbo, unable to relocate for a new job, buy their next home to accommodate a growing family, or follow through with other major life decisions that necessitate selling their home.Sellers who have the option to pull their listing off the mar

Careful, managers. Your mood affects your whole team’s performance
Early on as a founder, I learned that sharing the pressure I was under had a negative impact on my team’s productivity. Financial information in an early stage company should come with a health warning. You need to understand the financial position of the business you’re running without obsessing over it. In my first business in my 20s, I allowed the strain of financial uncertainty to overwhelm me to the point of sabotaging the business. A valuable lesson that underpinned the success of future b

From impulse purchase to pocket studio: The M-Vave FM-1
The M-Vave FM-1 is exactly the kind of device I have a weakness for. I may not have an intended use for the frequency-modulation synthesizer, but when a low price meets a high coolness factor, I'm powerless to keep it out of my cart. Initially billed as a pocket cousin of the famous Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, the FM-1 is a bargain at only $59.72 after fees. At release, it was a cool device that did what it said on the box, but not much else. But in July, some intrepid tinkerers on Reddit’s r/synthdiy board began reverse-engineering the FM-1's stock firmware to expand the device's abilities.

Secondhand gifts are going mainstream this holiday season
For most of history, holiday shopping came with an unspoken rule: Never give someone a used present. A preowned gift seemed cheap, or worse, thoughtless. But that taboo seems to be falling away. For most of its 17-year history, ThredUp, which bills itself as the world’s largest online thrift store, saw a dip in sales over the holidays, in contrast to most retailers, who wait for the glut of holiday shopping to finally turn a profit for the year. “We were the inverse of traditional

Vacancy-enhanced Li solid-solution anodes for solid-state batteries: computational screening enabling high critical current density
Sluggish vacancy-mediated self-diffusion in lithium metal limits the critical current density (CCD) of Li anodes in solid-state batteries by promoting interfacial void formation during stripping. To enhance the effective vacancy concentration while preserving the bcc Li host, we screen 50 substitutional solutes using density functional theory (DFT) within a funnel based on automatic phase diagram construction, solution energies, solute-vacancy binding energies, and experimental solubility limits

CO2-Induced Shifts in the Confined Phase Transformation of CH4 in Metal-Organic Frameworks
A sharp increase in gas uptake over a narrow pressure range can occur for fluids confined in nanoporous materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), reflecting a transformation between distinct adsorption states, often accompanied by the existence of metastable states. Understanding how co-adsorbed species modify this behavior is important for predicting and optimizing gas storage and separation. Here, we investigate the effect of CO2 on the adsorption transformation of confined CH4 in rig
Computational De Novo Design of Miniprotein Candidate Neutralizers Targeting the IL-23 Cytokine Subunit p19
Interleukin-23 (IL-23) drives T-helper-17 inflammation underlying inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis; anti-p19 antibodies are clinically effective but large, costly, and injectable. De novo miniproteins are an attractive alternative, yet published designs target the IL-23 receptor; the IL-23 cytokine itself has not been addressed. A further obstacle is that the standard confidence score (ipTM) tracks construct length rather than interface quality. We computationally design miniprotein bind

Companies are doing a lousy job of dealing with CEO-to-worker pay gaps, survey says
Eighty-four percent of Americans think it’s important for companies to avoid a major pay gap between CEOs and employees, and yet only 15% of Americans believe companies are doing a good job of reining in such gaps, according to a new confidence survey from Bentley University and Gallup. The study, released this month, found that 97% of Americans also say it is important for business to make money in an ethical way. However, only 32% of Americans say businesses are accomplishing this.

SceneBloom: Agentic Indoor Environment Generation with Realistic and Diverse Layouts for Embodied Learning
Training generalizable embodied agents requires realistic, varied, and simulation-ready indoor environments. Language-guided methods support semantic planning and object-level reasoning, but precise spatial grounding remains difficult. Visual generative models offer rich priors over plausible arrangements, yet their outputs require geometric reasoning to become physically valid 3D scenes. We introduce SceneBloom, an agentic framework that combines visual layout sampling with contract-guided 3D c

UniAction: Unified Action Conditioning for World Models
Actions that condition world models are highly heterogeneous, and thus existing action-conditioned world models are typically built for individual action types, fragmenting already limited action-annotated data across separate models. We introduce UniAction, a unified action-conditioning framework that represents any action as a sparse set of action elements, each with a discrete semantic identity and a continuous spatiotemporal grounding coordinate. By mapping these coordinates directly into th
