Smart sensors could help Canada tackle its $58-billion food waste problem
Smart sensors could help Canada tackle its $58-billion food waste problem Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Each year, Canada generates roughly $58 billion in avoidable food waste, much of which is from spoilage that goes undetected until it is already too late. With food prices rising by as much as 27% over the last five years and supply chains under strain, Canada needs better ways to reduce this waste and safeguard the quality of perishable foods. New digital...
With British politics in chaos, the Liberal Democrats are getting election-ready
LONDON — The Liberal Democrats have already selected a raft of prospective parliamentary candidates in their target seats for Britain’s next general election, as part of a wider move to ready the centrist party for a potential return to government.

It’s a move that lays the groundwork for the next election — not currently due until 2029 — and marks the...
Firefighters face a higher risk of skin cancer, but nano fabrics with tiny, rough fibers can help keep them safer
Firefighters face a higher risk of skin cancer, but nano fabrics with tiny, rough fibers can help keep them safer Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Wildland firefighters are exposed to a mix of harmful chemicals in the smoke they breathe and the ash and soot that gets on their clothing. Over long assignments fighting fires that can last for days to weeks, those chemicals can be absorbed by their skin. Some of those chemicals are carcinogens.
Crypto-Funded Chinese Peptide Labs Are Booming
Meta has been quietly stashing dormant face recognition code on more than 50 million phones, WIRED reported this week, tucked inside the companion app that pairs with its Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses. If activated, the feature—known internally as NameTag—would let wearers identify people in front of them by matching captured faces against a biometric gallery sitting on the user’s device. It’s the same kind of technology Meta said it walked away from in 2021, after paying out billions of...
