quote [ This video illustrates the key characteristics of MAMEM, an H2020 EU-funded project that has the goal of allowing people with disabilities to operate the computer using eye tracking and BCI technologies, and as a result help them to become integrated in a digitised world.

We describe in simple terms the main goals and achievements of our project, focusing on the outcomes of the first phase experimental trials. ]

quote [ Mathematical near misses show the power and playfulness of the human touch in mathematics. Johnson, Kaplan, and others made their discoveries by trial and error?by exploring, like biologists trudging through the rainforest to look for new species. But with mathematics it can be easier to search systematically. ]

quote [ CERN, Europe's nuclear research organization, operates the Large Hadron Collider (or LHC, for short) ? the largest particle accelerator in the world. Inside this almost 17-mile ring of tubes and superconducting magnets, beams of high-energy particles collide at nearly the speed of light. The LHC is also, apparently, a "hardon" collider, according to certain reaches of the internet ? including CERN?s own site. ]

quote [ The data leak contains a wealth of personal information on roughly 61 percent of the US population. Along with home addresses, birthdates, and phone numbers, the records include advanced sentiment analyses used by political groups to predict where individual voters fall on hot-button issues such as gun ownership, stem cell research, and the right to abortion, as well as suspected religious affiliation and ethnicity. The data was amassed from a variety of sources?from the banned subreddit r/fatpeoplehate to American Crossroads, the super PAC co-founded by former White House strategist Karl Rove. ]

quote [ I knew the future would be shocking but this is a whole other level. ]

quote [ A monthlong expedition into one of the deepest, least-documented places on the planet discovered hundreds of unknown species. The finds included a "faceless fish" undocumented there since 1873. ]
