Domino’s set out to improve their pizza tracker after realising that some problems could only be solved with AI, like scanning thousands of pizzas and calculating how long until they’re cooked. To do this, they implemented a novel idea: a loyalty program that rewarded customers for eating any pizza, even if it wasn’t from Domino’s. Its purpose was two-fold. Customers had a better experience, while their pizza tracker AI had a new wealth of cooked pizza images to analyse that shot their pizza tracker’s accuracy up by 100%. Read full article here

‘Ghostly’ neutrinos provide new path to study protons
In groundbreaking research, an international collaboration of scientists from the University of Rochester have used a beam of neutrinos to measure the size and shape of the protons that make up the nuclei of atoms. This feat, once thought impossible, provides scientists with a new way of looking at the small components of an atom’s nucleus and opens up a wealth of new information about the structure of an atom’s nucleus and the dynamics of the forces that affect neutrino interactions. The researchers solved the challenge of harnessing neutrinos in large numbers by using a neutrino detector containing a target of both hydrogen and carbon atoms, and over nine years of data collection at Fermilab’s accelerator.
