For the better part of the past decade, trucking’s biggest pressure points revolved around speed and access. Real-time visibility, rate data, freight information, routes, and shipment timeframes, among many other variables, were largely opaque. The industry’s response to these challenges was AI integration in expanded load boards, multiplied APIs, various freight digital dashboards, and TMS…

Today, anyone with a large enough artificial intelligence model can generate millions of new material designs in minutes. Unfortunately, that hasn’t led to a huge leap in the number of new materials being used to improve the performance of products like computer chips and rockets. One reason for the translation gap is that current models…
Researchers at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research have built an interpretation method that shows, base by base, what a deep-learning model has learned from DNA, and used it to strip a hidden experimental bias out of genomic data. The method, called PISA, is described in a paper published in Nature Communications in August 2026…
