Thomas Wells feels that society should do away with human waiters in lieu of QR codes that allow customers to order remotely. Although there are benefits to waiters, such as human interaction, he thinks those are far outweighed by their inconveniences. While dining out, we want to focus on our company and our meals, and flagging down a server disrupts your experience because you have to get their attention. 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.
