The Swiss Guards have a new uniform....

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The world’s oldest army has new uniforms. But don’t worry: The Swiss Guards’ famed blue, yellow and red Renaissance-style billowy garb isn’t going anywhere. Rather, the pope’s army on Tuesday unveiled an additional uniform for nonceremonial, formal occasions, such as a diplomatic reception or official dinner outside the Vatican walls. Col. Christoph Graf, the Swiss Guards commander, donned the new duds at a presentation ceremony in the army’s barracks ahead of the annual swearing-in ceremony…

NEW YORK (AP) — In 1983, six thieves muscled their way into a warehouse near Heathrow Airport, expecting to find a large sum of foreign currency.

Ditch Discount Blasts and Reward High-Value Hotel...

Hotels often rely on blanket discount codes to spark bookings, but these offers rarely resonate with high-value guests. Instead, they attract low-spending visitors who deliver minimal long-term revenue. Today’s travelers expect more: personalization, recognition, and incentives that reflect their loyalty. Guests who feel noticed are far more likely to return, spend more, and recommend your The post Ditch Discount Blasts and Reward High-Value Hotel Guests appeared first on Revfine.com….

MIT OpenCourseWare is “a living testament to...

Mostafa Fawzy became interested in physics in high school. It was the “elegance and paradox” of quantum theory that got his attention and led to his studies at the undergraduate and graduate level. But even with a solid foundation of coursework and supportive mentors, Fawzy wanted more. MIT Open Learning’s OpenCourseWare was just the thing he was looking for.   Now a doctoral candidate in atomic physics at Alexandria University and an assistant lecturer of physics at Alamein International University……

Concrete “battery” developed at MIT now packs...

Concrete already builds our world, and now it’s one step closer to powering it, too. Made by combining cement, water, ultra-fine carbon black (with nanoscale particles), and electrolytes, electron-conducting carbon concrete (ec3, pronounced “e-c-cubed”) creates a conductive “nanonetwork” inside concrete that could enable everyday structures like walls, sidewalks, and bridges to store and release electrical energy. In other words, the concrete around us could one day double as giant “batteries.” As MIT researchers report in a new PNAS paper,……

Palladium filters could enable cheaper, more efficient...

Palladium is one of the keys to jump-starting a hydrogen-based energy economy. The silvery metal is a natural gatekeeper against every gas except hydrogen, which it readily lets through. For its exceptional selectivity, palladium is considered one of the most effective materials at filtering gas mixtures to produce pure hydrogen. Today, palladium-based membranes are used at commercial scale to provide pure hydrogen for semiconductor manufacturing, food processing, and fertilizer production, among other applications in which the membranes operate at……

System lets people personalize online social spaces...

Say a local concert venue wants to engage its community by giving social media followers an easy way to share and comment on new music from emerging artists. Rather than working within the constraints of existing social platforms, the venue might want to create its own social app with the functionality that would be best for its community. But building a new social app from scratch involves many complicated programming steps, and even if the venue can create a……
