Maersk is testing a giant spinning cylinder to cut fuel use on cargo ships
On a cargo ship packed with 8,700 shipping containers, there isn’t much room for anything else. But in a new test aboard one of its vessels, Maersk is making an exception for a giant rotor sail—a spinning cylinder 10 to 12 stories tall that harnesses wind to help reduce fuel use. The test comes as shipping fuel costs continue to soar. In some areas, the price has risen as much as 76% since the Iran war started. The tech, made by a U.K.-based company called Anemoi, is one way to help blunt fut

25 leaders on keeping teams aligned during uncertainty
Hope for the best and plan for the worst. Ask any leader and they’ll say it’s impossible to know exactly what comes next. That can create some anxiety even in good times. But when there’s uncertainty or market turbulence, how leaders steer the ship can determine whether teams stay on course or veer in the wrong direction. We asked members of the Fast Company Impact Council how they keep their team aligned during uncertainty. Below, 25 of those leaders share their go-to strategies for navigati

Effective Ionic Valence and Local Magnetic Moment in Kagome Superconductors
In order to understand the unexpected similarity and the correlated behavior in kagome superconductor families AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A = K, Rb, Cs) and ATi$_3$Bi$_5$ (A = Rb, Cs), we investigate the Hartree-scale local electronic structure of these systems. Our result indicates that V and Ti ions are both of 2+ valence such that the corresponding itinerant carrier densities are similar, and the difference in electron count is instead reflected in their quantum fluctuating ionic magnetic moments. However
Degeneracy along the sensorimotor hierarchy: motor control within a framework larger than redundancy
Motor control has described the surplus of solutions available to the nervous system as redundancy, a term that names duplication: interchangeable elements, robust to loss but incapable of differential adaptation. Biology has had a second term for twenty-five years. Degeneracy names elements that are not interchangeable and are nonetheless isofunctional with respect to a given output, and it supports adaptability, since non-identical elements necessarily diverge in some context. Circuit neurosci

AI isn’t replacing jobs; it’s restructuring work
Companies are racing to automate work without realizing they may also be automating away the systems that create expertise. That is the workforce challenge emerging beneath today’s AI conversation. Most debates focus on whether AI will replace jobs. But jobs are the wrong lens for this discussion. Work has always been made up of tasks, decisions, workflows, and capabilities bundled together under a title and scope. What AI is doing quite efficiently is unbundling that structure and redistr

pyAvalanches: A Python Package for Analyzing Spatiotemporal Propagation in Neuronal Avalanches
The analysis of neuronal avalanches offers insights into brain dynamics utilizing the framework of criticality, but the reproducibility and comparability of studies are limited by the use of fragmented, lab-specific scripts. To address this issue, we introduce pyAvalanches, an open-source Python package providing a standardized, end-to-end pipeline for avalanche analysis from electrophysiological recordings (e.g., electroencephalography-EEG). Starting from the detection of neuronal avalanches th

General Quantification of Covariate and Concept Shifts
Generalization under distribution shift remains a core challenge in modern machine learning, yet existing learning bound theory is limited to narrow, idealized settings and is non-estimable from samples. In this paper, we bridge the gap between theory and practical applications. We first show that existing definition of concept shift breaks when the source and target supports mismatch. Leveraging entropic optimal transport, we propose a key notion: $γ^{*}\!$-concept shifts, and derive a general
Theoretical Aspects of Direct Waves in Kerr Black Holes: Pole-Splitting Method for Ringdown Analysis
We formulate the theoretical aspects of direct waves (DWs) in the case of extreme-mass merger. A DW is a source-driven waveform characterized by a complex frequency $ω_{\rm G}$, which reflects the orbital motion of the particle in the vicinity of the black hole, including a part of the orbit inside the ergoregion: its real part is governed by frame dragging and its imaginary part by the redshift of the source. Using the Green's function technique, we derive the source-driven frequency $ω_{\rm G}

A Multi-Axion Ladder Across Cosmic History: From Inflation, BBN, and Early Dark Energy to Late-Time Accelerated Expansion
What if dark energy is recurrent throughout cosmic history? In this picture, episodes of scalar-field dark energy become less surprising and more natural features of cosmic evolution. We construct a homogeneous multi-axion cosmology with a transient contribution during Big Bang nucleosynthesis, two early dark energy components before recombination, and a thawing field that supplies the present dark-energy density. As Hubble friction weakens, the fields begin to roll at successive epochs set by t

GPU-CFR: 80x Faster Counterfactual Regret Minimization by Compiling the Game to Static Dataflow and CUDA Graph Replay
Counterfactual regret minimization (CFR) is one of the few large numerical workloads that still runs faster on CPUs than on GPUs. Each iteration sweeps a game tree with up to billions of states in millions of small, interdependent gather and scatter steps issued through a generic tree interface. On a GPU every kernel finishes in microseconds, so kernel launches and framework dispatch dominate the run time, and prior GPU implementations have lost to optimized CPU code. We observe that for a fixed

The end of driving culture
Ask someone about their travels, and one of the first topics they’ll remark on is how the people, wherever they were visiting, drove their cars. There are New York drivers, aggressive, impatient, and honky. There are California drivers, well adapted to freeway-coasting bumper-to-bumper congestion. In Florida they drive fast; in Maine they drive slow. This is by no means limited to the United States. In Cairo, a city whose streets operate almost entirely without signals, drivers have learned to o
