Image: Warner Bros. Philippines Raking in an astounding $2 billion worldwide at the box office across eight films in 10 years, the Conjuring Universe celebrates one decade with 'The Nun II.' The sequel marks the return of Valak (Bonnie Aarons) and Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga reprising her role as the visionary nun).

Several years after the incident in Saint Cartha in Romania, the Church again called on Sister Irene (Farmiga) to investigate a series of gruesome murders across Europe.

The 3D-printed structure - a type of retaining wall known as a headwall - has been installed on the A30 in Cornwall , where it is providing real-time information thanks to Cambridge-designed sensors embedded in its structure. The sensors provide up-to-date measurements including temperature, strain and pressure. This 'digital twin' of the wall could help spot and correct faults before they occur.

A new processor that uses light, instead of electrons, has the potential to perform its computations up to 100 times more powerfully and efficiently than existing processors inside machine-learning computer systems. That's according to a new USC and MIT study published in the journal Nature Photonics. "In addition to vastly improving the scalability of computing power, the optical artificial-intelligence processor increased energy efficiency compared with current technologies," said Zaijun Chen, a research assistant professor at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering's Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
