The Giza Project is an international collaboration based at Harvard University that provides comprehensive access to archaeological information, media, and research materials about Egypt's Giza Plateau, including the Pyramids and related sites.
Harvard's Dean of Undergraduate Education proposes an 'AI encouragement' policy amid widespread concerns about higher education's value, rising costs, declining trust, and AI-driven cheating. The policy has sparked controversy over academic integrity as universities grapple with technology's role in teaching and learning.
WordPress powers 40.3% of all websites globally, including major publications like the New York Post, TIME, and TechCrunch, as well as institutions like NASA, Harvard, and The White House. Its dominance stems from its flexibility, allowing use cases ranging from personal blogs to enterprise publishing platforms for governments, universities, and media companies.
A man whose wife Laura died from a severe asthma attack in September shares how awareness of 'Asthma Peak Week'—the third week of September when attacks spike due to ragweed pollen and back-to-school viruses—might have saved her life. He advocates for people with asthma to take extra precautions during this period and never face an attack alone.
Jordan Taylor explores fluidic logic—computing with air and fluids instead of electronics. The article traces pneumatic computing from Harvard's Octobot, a soft robot powered by hydrogen peroxide, through historical aircraft like the DC-10 that used fluidic logic for mechanical control systems, demonstrating that complex computation doesn't require silicon or electricity.
The article explores fluidic logic, a computing method using pressurized air and fluids instead of electronics. It traces the concept from the DC-10 airliner's thrust reverser system to modern applications like the Octobot, a pneumatic octopus-shaped device, demonstrating that complex machines can operate without silicon, electricity, or moving parts.
