In a new #SciencePolicyArticle, researchers report on a large-scale randomized controlled trial evaluating the impacts of classroom phone restrictions on student outcomes in India.
The findings show that restricting phone use can support learning, particularly among lower-performing students.

One can’t always tell how polluted the air is just by looking at the sky.
And terms like PM2.5, AQI, or super pollutants don’t exactly make things clearer.
Here’s what they mean, and what they can tell us about the air we breathe: https://t.co/MV9FHvxOkF
2026 economic sciences laureates Robert E. Hall’s and Michael Woodford’s research has made us better equipped to manage economic downturns.
They laid the foundation of the New Keynesian paradigm, in which models are built upon microfoundations, which means from the bottom up. Economic outcomes are the result of millions of decisions made at the microlevel by households and businesses. Using models based upon this approach, rather than simply studying the economy from a macro perspective, like a bird’s eye view, Hall’s and Woodford’s research has generated a paradigm shift in the theory of stabilisation policy.

2026 economic sciences laureate Robert E. Hall’s hypothesis was that changes in consumption could not be predicted because they depend on new – and thus unpredictable – information.
Hall presented his results in an article in 1978, which was something of a eureka moment for research. His work became key to the development of modern research on consumption.

🚨Architects are going to hate this.
Someone just open-sourced a full 3D building editor that runs entirely in your browser.
No AutoCAD. No Revit. No $5,000/year licenses.
It's called Pascal Editor.
Built with React Three Fiber and WebGPU -- meaning it renders directly on your GPU at near-native speed.
Here's what's inside this thing:
→ A full building/level/wall/zone hierarchy you can edit in real time
→ An ECS-style architecture where every object updates through GPU-powered systems
→ Zustand state management with full undo/redo built in
→ Next.js frontend so it deploys as a web app, not a desktop install
→ Dirty node tracking -- only re-renders what changed, not the whole scene
Here's the wildest part:
You can stack, explode, or solo individual building levels. Select a zone, drag a wall, reshape a slab -- all in 3D, all in the browser.
Architecture firms pay $50K+ per seat for BIM software that does this workflow.
This is free.
100% Open Source.
AI can generate a residential building worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in seconds.
This is 78 weeks of construction compressed into just 78 seconds.
A 10-story residential building. 80 apartments, 3,111 m³ of concrete, and 95.5 tons of steel reinforcement, all mapped into one construction sequence.
And this is where reality gets expensive.
You can watch every floor rise, every major component fall into place, and an empty plot become an entire residential complex.
Meanwhile, the internet is obsessed with AI-generated buildings that look incredible but explain absolutely nothing about how they're supposed to be built.
Turns out, generating the dream was the easy part.
Over 5.6 billion tokens (and 48 hours!) later, Opus 5.5 has generated an entire A380 full of animations 🤯
The craziest thing is this is a REAL svg with over 600 parts.. and it's still doing reviews/fixes as I type this 😂
- DNA DOUBLE HELIX stores genetic information
- DNA POLYMERASE replicates DNA.
- RNA POLYMERASE synthesizes RNA from DNA
- RIBOSOMES use RNA to build proteins
These four molecules are essential to all life on Earth.
Your parcel touches about 6 machines and 4 people before it reaches your door.
Opus 5.5 built a whole parcel hub.
Trailers get unloaded onto boom belts, a tunnel scans every label, a tilt-tray loop tips big boxes into chutes, and 48 robots carry the small ones to holes in the floor.
Click any parcel and follow it all the way to the van.
This single $300 MILLION machine fires lasers at tin droplets 50,000 times per second creating plasma hotter than the sun and without it your phone and modern AI wouldn’t exist.
how to use Google's NEW open source Design.md + AI Skills to make your startup look like a $100 million company in 1 hour:
1. Design.md is an open source file from Google that captures the soul of a design. Typography, colors, spacing, all in one markdown file. You attach it to your prompt and your agent builds beautiful things every time.
2. Think of it this way. The HTML is the finished dish. The design.md is the recipe. The skills are the ingredients. Put them together and everything you build looks consistent and professional.
3. Don't create a design system from scratch. Find a brand you love. Linear, Stripe, Vercel, whatever resonates. Study it. Use ChatGPT or Claude to help you extract the design language into your own design.md file.
4. Build skills on top of your design.md. A landing page skill. A mobile app skill. A motion design skill. A slide deck skill. Each one references the same design.md so everything looks like it came from the same designer.
5. The biggest mistake people make: they nail one screen and then everything else looks generic. Design.md solves this. One file keeps every page, every format, every medium consistent.
6. Use it across everything. Your landing page. Your app. Your pitch deck. Your promo videos. Same DNA. Same taste. Same system. That's what separates a startup that looks real from one that looks vibe-coded.
7. Build a second brain for design inspiration. When you see something beautiful in the real world or online, capture it. Save it. When you're building something new, reference it. Taste is developed, not downloaded.
8. It's obvious but the difference between a product people trust and a product people bounce from is how it looks and feels. Design.md gives you that edge.
