By David NuttThere is more to photovoltaic panels than the materials that comprise them: The design itself can also drive – or potentially diminish – the widespread adoption of solar technology. Put bluntly: Most solar panels are not much to look at. And their flat, nonflexible composition means they can only be affixed to similarly flat structures.

By Patricia WaldronDeciphering some people’s writing can be a major challenge – especially when that writing is cuneiform characters imprinted into 3,000-year-old tablets. Now, Middle East scholars can use artificial intelligence (AI) to identify and copy over cuneiform characters from photos of tablets, letting them read complicated scripts with ease. Along with Egyptian hieroglyphs, cuneiform is one of the oldest known forms of writing, and consists of more than 1,000 unique characters.
