Automated speed enforcement significantly reduces speeding in Toronto school zones
Automated speed‑enforcement cameras in Toronto school zones cut speeding by 45% and reduced 85th percentile speed by 10.7 km/h.
Utah engineers develop novel material that efficiently removes ‘forever chemicals’
University of Utah researchers develop metal-organic framework that both fluoresces in the presence of certain PFAS chemicals and absorbs these environmental contaminants that are widely used in consumer products.
Optimists are alike, every pessimist has their own way
Optimists display similar neural patterns when imagining future events, whereas pessimists exhibit diverse brain activity. This shared mental “wavelength” may explain optimism’s social cohesion and communication ease.
