Magnets that think? Texas Engineers are pushing the boundaries of computing by developing artificial neurons made of magnetic materials 🧲
Swipe through and tap to learn how these neurons can also keep working for a long time without losing efficiency, a major challenge.

Remote work doesn't thwart productivity. It boosts focus.
Government workers are 12% more productive when randomly assigned to work from home. They're more efficient where it's quiet.
Most people aren't shirking from home. They're escaping distractions and long commutes.

Productivity is overrated. What counts most is the quality of output, not the quantity.
People may be impressed by the volume you produce, but impact depends on the value you create.
Success is not about getting more things done. It's about doing more worthwhile things well.
