The ML is one of several facilities within Lincoln Laboratory's Microsystems Prototyping Foundry (MPF) operations. This summer, 12 students had a hand in MPF operations as part of the Massachusetts Microelectronics Internship Program .

NEW YORK—Ed Sheeran is preparing for a blockbuster tour and album release amid regular trips to Manhattan's federal court, where he's defending his songwriting in a closely watched copyright case. The trial centers on whether the British pop phenom plagiarized Marvin Gaye's 1973 soul classic 'Let's Get It On' in his 2014 hit 'Thinking Out Loud.' The heirs of Ed Townsend, who co-wrote Gaye's smash, are behind the civil suit, and allege 'striking similarities and overt common elements' between the songs.

Irvine, Calif., July 24, 2023 – Reducing waste is one way to help combat hunger around the world, but stricter control over food loss and waste does not lead to better environmental outcomes, according to researchers at the University of California, Irvine and the University of Colorado Boulder. In a paper published recently in Nature Food , the scientists stress that curbing food spoilage increases the amount of produce in markets, which leads to lower costs. Cheaper food encourages people to buy and eat more, offsetting the lowering of greenhouse gas emissions when more goods reach tables.

Douglas Sacha/Getty Images (BATON ROUGE, La.) -- When Baton Rouge Police Department (BRPD) leadership found out about the allegations of the "brave cave," the police chief immediately went to the FBI in August, according to a source familiar with the investigation. The police department faces several lawsuits over the treatment of detainees, including at a now-shuttered police warehouse that officers allegedly called the "brave cave," according to the complaints. It is exceedingly rare for a police chief to go to the FBI and ask for an investigation into their own department.
