Volunteers in western Wisconsin spent Wednesday night counting every person experiencing homelessness, and the data they gathered is already creating real solutions. Their last count revealed gaps that led to a new daytime resource center opening its doors.
Finnish researchers just detected an energy pulse smaller than one zeptojoule, opening new doors for quantum computing and the search for dark matter. This breakthrough could eventually let us count individual photons of light.
San Diego County needs 400 more volunteers for its annual homeless count on January 29, which helps secure funding and shape solutions. Last year's count showed promising decreases across most North County cities.
Physicists have learned to shape light at the quantum level, cramming far more information into individual photons and opening doors to ultra-secure communication networks. The breakthrough transforms quantum technology from theory into tools we can actually use.
Researchers at Polytechnique Montréal have developed a breakthrough material that processes light directly on silicon chips, potentially slashing the growing energy demands of AI data centers. The innovation could help sustain artificial intelligence growth without draining the power grid.
Two hundred Pasadena volunteers gave up their evenings and early mornings to count every person experiencing homelessness in their city. Their work will directly shape how millions in federal and state funding gets used to help people get off the streets.
An MLB umpire forgot how to count during a game, letting a player walk after three strikes. Everyone laughed it off, proving even pros are human.
Residents in remote parts of Chad are walking to nearby towns to participate in the country's first nationwide census in 17 years. Many see the count as a chance to finally bring attention to gaps in public services in their communities.
Volunteers in Wilson County, Tennessee, will take to the streets this Thursday to count every person experiencing homelessness, not just for data, but to make sure no neighbor goes unseen. Their work unlocks vital funding and services that could change lives. #
Lexington is calling for volunteers to help count people experiencing homelessness on February 25, offering a hands-on way to connect neighbors with shelter and support. Teams of four will canvas the city for just two hours, armed with care packages and compassion.
Over 100 volunteers turned out for El Dorado County's annual homeless count, nearly doubling last year's participation. Their work directly determines federal funding for housing programs that help people get off the streets.
More than 60 groups of volunteers across Scotland are protecting rivers by counting bugs. Their simple monthly surveys create an early warning system that spots pollution before it spreads.
Over 70 volunteers woke before dawn in Escondido to help their homeless neighbors be counted and heard. The annual survey ensures federal funding keeps flowing to help people get back on their feet.
Hundreds of volunteers are hitting the streets for LA's annual homeless count, following last year's historic breakthrough. For the first time in decades, California saw unsheltered homelessness drop nearly 10% statewide.
Starting in 2027, Indians can fill out their own census data online instead of waiting for a door-to-door visit. The shift aims to make counting the world's largest democracy faster, more accurate, and more inclusive.
