An MIT-led team has designed a green airplane that is estimated to use 70% less fuel than current planes while also reducing noise and emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx).

... or for the Austrians: "Es gibt nix bessers ois wos guats!" By exploiting a simple but counterintuitive trick, a new system finds sections of computer programs where accuracy can be traded for speed.

Cars’ Computer Systems Called at Risk to Hackers

Automobiles, which will be increasingly connected to the Internet in the near future, could be vulnerable to hackers just as computers are now, two teams of computer scientists are warning in a paper to be presented next week.
