The EnergAIzer technique can predict how much power a certain AI workload will consume when run on a particular processor. This method could help data center operators and algorithm developers improve the sustainability of AI workloads.
By combining health research insights with practical design tools, the researchers have developed a rigorous, health research–grounded framework to guide the design and evaluation of digital technologies that support mindful eating.
Construction projects often suffer from a strict zero-tolerance error culture that discourages transparency and learning. A new study in Engineering suggests embracing unintentional action errors as inevitable opportunities for improvement. By shifting to error management with open communication and psychological safety, firms can boost learning, reduce hidden risks, and enhance long-term project performance. The piece calls for more research to support this constructive shift in the construction sector.
Conventional wisdom holds that lower cholesterol is better for heart health, but new Views & Comments in Engineering challenges this idea. A large cross‑ethnic study finds a U-shaped cholesterol–mortality link in Chinese adults: both very low and high levels raise death risk, with low levels linked to higher cancer and hemorrhagic stroke risk. Optimal cholesterol levels differ between Chinese and UK adults, calling for personalized, population-tailored management.
U.S. traffic deaths have remained at about 40,000 a year since 2000, but pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities have risen 68%. Arterial road design – higher speeds and wider lanes – have long been blamed for this rise. But new research says this explanation is incomplete, offering new insight into why the U.S. has struggled to reduce traffic fatalities. Analyzing 222 miles of Florida arterials, findings show placing everyday destinations like gas stations along high-speed roads significantly increases the risk of serious injury or death for pedestrians and cyclists – turning already dangerous corridors into deadly environments.
