During a summer internship at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Ivy Mahncke, an undergraduate student of robotics engineering at Olin College of Engineering, took a hands-on approach to testing algorithms for underwater navigation. She first discovered her love for working with underwater robotics as an intern at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 2024. Drawn by the chance to tackle new problems and cutting-edge algorithm development, Mahncke began an internship with Lincoln Laboratory’s Advanced Undersea Systems and Technology Group in 2025. Mahncke spent the summer developing and troubleshooting an algorithm that would help a human diver and robotic vehicle collaboratively navigate underwater. The…
For more than a decade, Google’s developer documentation has described these keys, identified by the prefix ‘Aiza’, as a mechanism used to identify a project for billing purposes. Developers generated a key and then pasted it into their client-side HTML code in full public view. However, with the appearance of the Gemini API (Generative Language API) from late 2023 onwards, it seems that these keys also started acting as authentication keys for sites embedding the Gemini AI Assistant. No warning Developers might build a site with basic features such as an embedded Maps function whose usage was identified for metering…
Buena Vista Pictures Back in 1998 Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman saved us from two separate asteroids. The release of “Deep Impact” and “Armageddon” that year saw dueling blockbusters go head to head in one of those odd moments where two films about the same thing arrive at the same time. Roger Ebert wasn’t really a fan of either, but he absolutely hated “Armageddon.” The critic sent out one of his harshest reviews to intercept Michael Bay’s blockbuster, claiming that it made “Deep Impact” look like it belonged on the…
Hornby has agreed to sell the iconic slot car racing brand Scalextric for £20 million in a move designed to strengthen its balance sheet and refocus the business on its core brands.

Since then, the phrase revenge dress has increasingly been used in celebrity culture. Revenge dresses as they are understood by the mainstream have typically been flattering, revealing, and likely a bit risqué – a reminder of what an ex is missing out on. In 2014 Rihanna arrived at the CFDA Fashion Awards in a sheer Adam Selman dress that was allegedly a message to an on-off boyfriend Drake. As she told French Vogue a few years later: “Every time a man cheats on you or treats you badly, you need a revenge dress. Every woman knows that.” In the case of supermodel…
Marilyn Vargas, who supports a household of six, gathers food donations at a pop-up food pantry held outside the Easthampton Community Center in Easthampton, Massachusetts. Karen Brown/NEPM hide caption toggle caption Karen Brown/NEPM Hunger in America looks very different from the stereotype of malnourished children trying to survive a famine in a low-income country far away. In the U.S., hunger is often much less obvious, but it’s there — in the disruptive behavior of a third-grader who missed breakfast or the chronic anxiety of parents carefully rationing out boxes of cheap macaroni for their children. You can also see hunger…
Editor’s note: Every now and then, something happens in the evolution of the web that feels bigger than a single event. This is one of those moments. Three.js has been part of the creative coding movement we’ve supported at Codrops for many years. Our pages have been filled with experiments, tutorials, and explorations built with it, and we’ve watched it help shape a generation of immersive web experiences. That’s why supporting the very first Three.js conference as official sponsors means so much to us. In this case study, David Ronai takes us behind the scenes of the conference website and…
