Long-sought Chicago police staffing study recommends adding more cops, hiring civilians

The study, conducted by Matrix Consulting Group, was commissioned by the City Council in February 2024 to find ways to close gaps between police response times in different neighborhoods.

Photonic integrated circuits enable programmable non-Abelian 'braiding' of light states

A research team has successfully implemented a programmable spinor lattice on a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). This platform enables the realization of non-Abelian physics, in which the outcome of ...
