The Institute is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Launched in 1976, the publication was designed to keep members informed about IEEE and what its constituents were doing, as well as to report on the organization’s initiatives, technical standards, products, and services. That directive expanded over the years to include our reporting on key historical technical achievements recognized as IEEE Milestones and support for young professionals with career-guidance articles and information about educational resources. The Institute has gone through many iterations in the past 50 years. What began as a monthly four-page insert in the print edition of IEEE Spectrum became a separate newspaper published six times a year and mailed along with Spectrum in 1977, and then a monthly publication the following year. Today we publish all of The Institute’s articles online, with a curated selection appearing in our 16-page quarterly printed in the March, June, September, and December Spectrum issues. To provide members with a quick summary of the latest online news, in 2003 a bimonthly newsletter, The Institute Alert, began appearing in your inbox. You also can stay up to date by following our Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn pages. Although much has changed, an original subsection from 1976—“IEEE People”—has been maintained for the past five decades. We continue to celebrate IEEE members from around the world through our profiles, which are among our most popular articles. As the longest-serving editor in chief for The Institute, it is a privilege for me and my staff to chronicle the stories of remarkable IEEE individuals. They are often-unseen visionaries and problem-solvers who work tirelessly behind the scenes on technologies that are reshaping the world. By highlighting their careers and how IEEE has played a role in their professional growth, we hope to inspire the next generation of engineers and technologists to continue a legacy of innovation and service to humanity.

This sponsored article is brought to you by Black & Veatch. The biggest challenge facing utilities today isn’t what it seems. It’s not demand, even as load growth accelerates. It’s not extreme weather, even as “major events” become routine. It’s not cybersecurity, even as connections expand across the grid. The real challenge is this: Distribution systems were designed for a different reality. Long gone are the days of predictable demand, one-way power flow and isolated disruptions. At Black & Veatch, we see that leading utilities are no longer debating whether to modernize. They’re deciding how quickly they can do it, and how to do it at scale. Across grid modernization programs globally, three truths consistently emerge. They define what it takes to prepare the distribution system for what’s next: 1. Outage response is not a resilience strategy Resilience is being redefined in real time. A strategy centered on mobilizing crews and restoring service as quickly as possible is reactive, and increasingly insufficient. Resilience has to shift upstream into integrated system design. That starts with hardening. Stronger poles, undergrounding and structural upgrades all have a role, particularly in high-risk corridors. We’re also seeing meaningful gains from how the network is configured and how quickly it can respond without waiting on manual intervention. This is where distribution automation programs can change outcomes. Strategically placed reclosers, automated switches and fault indicators help contain disruptions before they spread. When combined with feeder reconfiguration and updated protection strategies, distribution automation investments allow utilities to set more aggressive recovery targets and achieve measurable reductions in outage duration and customer impact. 2. Future-readiness depends on DERs at scale Forecasting is less and less reliable. Only 19 percent of utilities report strong confidence in their ability to predict future load growth, according to the Black & Veatch 2025 Electric Report. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) like solar, storage, EVs and behind-the-meter generation are exciting solutions; but they fundamentally change how the system operates. Power is no longer just delivered. It’s injected, stored and redirected in ways the system was never designed to manage. At scale, these challenges show up quickly — particularly on feeders where distributed generation is approaching or exceeding hosting capacity. Protection coordination becomes more difficult when fault current comes from multiple directions. Voltage becomes less predictable as generation fluctuates throughout the day. And planning models must now account for highly variable, location-specific behavior. Distribution modernization is fundamentally changing how the system is designed and operated so it can absorb disruption, manage bi-directional flows and respond in real time. Adapting to bi-directional power flow requires more than incremental updates. Leading utilities are responding by building flexibility into the system, moving beyond static assumptions toward dynamic hosting capacity and interconnection studies, planning that incorporates DER, EV adoption and localized load growth, and infrastructure aligned with the communications and control needed to manage it. 3. The edge must be intelligent, visible and secure As system stress and complexity increase, utilities need far greater visibility and control over the network. Historically, utilities relied on customer calls, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) at the substation level and field crews to understand what was happening on the system. That model doesn’t hold up. You can’t effectively manage a system you can’t see. Plus, the most critical events are increasingly happening beyond the substation — on feeders, laterals, and at the edge where DER and customer behavior are interacting with the grid. Grid-edge technologies have become essential. Sensors, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and automated switching provide the raw data and control needed to move from reactive to proactive operations. In more advanced deployments, utilities are creating centralized control environments that allow operators to see and manage the distribution system in near real time. That capability is enabled by: Advanced communications networks to form the backbone of real-time grid visibility Distribution Management System (DMS) and Outage Management System (OMS) to enable faster, more coordinated system response Analytics, AI and machine learning to improve situational awareness, anticipate system conditions, and support operational decision-making The same connectivity enabling this real-time visibility and control also introduces new vulnerabilities, blurring the line between physical and cyber risk, yet many utilities manage them separately. Only 22 percent have unified teams in place, even as threats continue to rise, including a 50 percent increase in substation attacks and growing exposure to malware and ransomware, according to the Black & Veatch 2025 Electric Report. Cybersecurity and resilient network design must be embedded into the architecture from the outset—not layered on after the fact. See what bolder vision looks like Distribution modernization is fundamentally changing how the system is designed and operated so it can absorb disruption, manage bi-directional flows and respond in real time. To learn about a successful program, check out Georgia Power’s recent grid modernization program. Black & Veatch partnered with the utility on large-scale infrastructure upgrades. The results? Outages are down 76 percent, restoration times have improved by more than 80 percent and communities across Georgia are powered by a grid built to meet the future head-on. When the state faced the most destructive storm in the company’s history, Hurricane Helene, Georgia Power deployed a rapid response team that utilized its “smart grid” and restored power to more than 1 million customers within days. A grid built to meet the future head-on—that’s the result of bolder vision.

Uma pesquisa do Aláfia Lab, laboratório independente de pesquisa sobre internet, comunicação e sociedade, mostra que política e eleições são os temas mais associados à circulação de fake news no Brasil. Segundo o levantamento, obtido em primeira mão pelo g1, 43% dos brasileiros afirmam encontrar mais notícias falsas sobre política do que sobre qualquer outro assunto. Saúde, economia e celebridades aparecem na sequência. O estudo também indica diferenças no comportamento de eleitores de esquerda, direita e centro diante da desinformação e do uso de inteligência artificial. A pesquisa foi realizada com 1.512 entrevistados de todo o país e utilizou perguntas de autodeclaração, ou seja, as respostas refletem a percepção dos participantes sobre si mesmos. A margem de erro é de 2,5 pontos percentuais, para mais ou para menos, com nível de confiança de 95%. Os resultados mostram que a desinformação se tornou uma “arma política” e tem dado o tom das eleições, afirma a coordenadora de pesquisa do Aláfia Lab, Vivian Peron. Agora no g1 A maioria dos brasileiros afirma saber identificar fake news, mas ainda com insegurança. Segundo a pesquisa, 58% dizem conseguir reconhecer notícias falsas “com dúvidas em alguns casos”. Outros 29% afirmam fazer isso “com facilidade”, enquanto 13% dizem não saber identificar desinformação. Homens, jovens, pessoas com maior escolaridade e eleitores de esquerda estão entre os grupos que mais dizem ter facilidade para reconhecer fake news. Entre os entrevistados de esquerda, 39% afirmam identificar notícias falsas com facilidade. Entre os de direita, o índice é de 30%. “A parcela que relata ter mais facilidade para identificar fake news — homens, jovens e pessoas com maior escolaridade — pode indicar que grupos historicamente mais vulneráveis estejam mais expostos em um cenário de desinformação”, diz Vivian Peron, da Aláfia. Dona Maria, personagem criada por inteligência artificial que ganhou popularidade entre eleitores de direita na internet Reprodução Direita e esquerda Pessoas de esquerda afirmam recorrer mais a ferramentas de checagem. Entre os eleitores desse grupo, 24% afirmam utilizar agências de fact-checking. Entre os de direita, o percentual cai para 13%. Apesar disso, eleitores de direita relatam encontrar mais fake news sobre política e eleições. Nesse grupo, 55% dizem se deparar com desinformação sobre o tema. Entre os eleitores de esquerda, o índice é de 48%. A pesquisadora afirma que levantamentos de opinião desse tipo costumam produzir resultados que levantam hipóteses a serem investigadas posteriormente por estudos mais específicos. “De todo modo, com base em outros estudos sobre desinformação que demonstraram que grupos de extrema direita têm se mostrado mais ativos na produção desse tipo de conteúdo, esse resultado pode servir como indício de uma maior exposição de pessoas situadas mais à direita do espectro ideológico à desinformação”, diz Vivian. O levantamento aponta também que a percepção de fake news sobre política aumenta conforme a idade e a escolaridade. Entre pessoas com 45 anos ou mais, 47% afirmam encontrar desinformação relacionada ao tema. Entre jovens de 18 a 29 anos, o índice cai para 35%. Entre entrevistados com ensino superior, metade relata encontrar fake news sobre política e eleições. Entre pessoas com ensino fundamental, o percentual é de 34%. Quando se deparam com uma informação suspeita, quase metade dos brasileiros afirma ignorar o conteúdo. Segundo a pesquisa, 47% dizem não tomar nenhuma atitude. Outros 32% afirmam procurar verificar se a informação é verdadeira. Apenas 10% dizem denunciar o conteúdo às plataformas. O estudo identificou ainda diferenças na percepção dos impactos da desinformação. Entre eleitores de esquerda, 69% afirmam que fake news causam alto dano ao desacreditar instituições. Entre os eleitores de direita, o percentual é de 46%. Inteligência artificial A pesquisa também analisou o uso de ferramentas de inteligência artificial. O ChatGPT aparece como o chatbot mais popular entre os brasileiros. Segundo o levantamento, 42% afirmam já ter usado a ferramenta. Outros 25% dizem utilizar o Gemini. Pesquisa mostra que política é tema mais comum de fake news Joédson Alves/Agência Brasil O uso do ChatGPT é maior entre eleitores de direita. Nesse grupo, 53% afirmam utilizar a ferramenta. Entre pessoas de esquerda, o percentual é de 39%. Já o uso diário de inteligência artificial — de forma mais ampla — é mais frequente entre entrevistados de esquerda. Segundo a pesquisa, 39% dizem usar ferramentas de IA todos os dias. Entre eleitores de direita, o índice é de 26%. As finalidades também variam conforme o posicionamento político. Pessoas de direita usam mais IA para criar imagens, vídeos e aprender. Já eleitores de esquerda recorrem mais às ferramentas para checar fake news.

Mumbai: Domestic IT stocks extended rally for the third straight session on Tuesday, driving the Nifty IT index to its biggest single-day gain in a year. Analysts said the index's chart structure remains constructive, signalling continued positive momentum in the near term.The Nifty IT index ended 4.2% higher at 31,116.6 on Tuesday, its highest gains since May 2025. The index is up 7.6% in the past three sessions, against Nifty 50's fall of 1.8%. TCS was the top gainer on Tuesday, up 6.7%, followed by Infosys, HCL Technologies and LTM, which were up 4-6% each."Indian IT stocks continue to extend gains, supported by improving global software sentiment and growing evidence that enterprise AI adoption is expanding technology spending opportunities rather than disrupting incumbent service providers," said Kunal Bajaj, research analyst at Choice Institutional Equities.Bajaj said other factors like rupee depreciation, strong orderbook and improving outlook for discretionary tech spending, are supporting the current rally in IT stocks.131473558IT stocks look strong on technical charts too. "The Nifty IT index has formed a bullish hammer pattern on the monthly chart, signalling a trend reversal," said Ruchit Jain, vice-president, Motilal Oswal Financial Services. "Within the sector, recent moves suggest a mix of short covering in stocks such as TCS and HCL Tech, along with fresh long build-up in Infosys and Coforge over the past three sessions." Despite the recent rebound, domestic IT stocks have underperformed the broader market in 2026, with the Nifty IT index declining 17.9% so far this year against a 10.1% fall in Nifty 50.Jain expects the IT benchmark's up move to extend towards 32,000-32,100, near its April highs. According to Bajaj, tier-2 IT firms have historically gained market share during tech transitions due to their agility. "With valuation premiums cooling, we see better relative risk-reward in Coforge, Persistent Systems and Happiest Minds. Among the tier-one companies, we like Infosys and Tech Mahindra," he said.

Opera makers have always engaged with the latest inventions while also preserving historic crafts. I believe it’s possible to look both forwards and backwards in this fast-evolving landscape The disquiet and distrust surrounding artificial intelligence among artists and creatives remain real and consequential, and the language used by leading arts commentators is often apocalyptic: AI will decimate the arts, it is evil, it is the devil. Like many emerging technologies, AI has been driven by the corporations at the forefront of its creation. Introduced to the public at a rapid rate and continuously evolving, machine learning has become closely entwined with fear, antipathy and foreboding. At the same time, its powers and possibilities are expanding exponentially, becoming embedded in almost every aspect of human activity. The upcoming RBO/SHIFT festival at the Royal Opera House aims to interrogate all sides of this fast-evolving landscape to enable artists, performers, creatives and audiences to think deeply and widely about where we are now, and where we may be tomorrow. Machine learning represents a seismic shift, both in society and in the arts, and we need storytellers, artists, teachers and thinkers in this space to help determine the direction of that shift and help us navigate this unfamiliar territory.

A real responsável pelo mapeamento inédito dos nervos do clitóris O órgão feminino finalmente teve seus nervos mapeados pela primeira vez. E esse avanço se deu graças a uma mulher coreana. "Eu liderei o projeto de mapeamento dos nervos do clitóris", afirma Ju Young Lee, PhD em neurociência e autora principal do estudo, que nasceu e se graduou na Coreia do Sul. Mas, se você busca o nome dela no Google Acadêmico, é como se ela só existisse a partir do momento em que vai para a Europa e passa a dividir a autoria com colegas de lá. Tanto é que as reportagens sobre o estudo dizem apenas que ele foi feito por cientistas da Amsterdam University Medical Center. Ou seja, Ju Young Lee precisou contornar o viés geopolítico da ciência, que segue predominantemente eurocêntrica - marginalizando a importância das contribuições de culturas fora da Europa e do Norte Global no geral para o nascimento e desenvolvimento da ciência moderna. Como se as únicas ideias intelectuais que importassem fossem as produzidas em solo europeu. Além disso, o foco inicial da carreira dela nem era esse. Imagem 3D mostra extensão de nervos do clitóris Divulgação "Minha formação foi em neurociência. Fiz meu mestrado e doutorado no Instituto Max Planck, na Alemanha, e quase tudo o que estudei foi sobre o cérebro", diz Ju Young Lee. Foi só depois de participar da maior conferência europeia de neurociência que o foco dela mudou. "Havia um grande entusiasmo sobre como o intestino e o cérebro interagem entre si. E eu me lembro de perguntar: 'Alguém está fazendo a mesma pergunta sobre os órgãos ginecológicos? Como esses nervos interagem com o cérebro?' E a resposta deles foi: 'Ah, eu nunca pensei nisso'", afirma. Mas os nervos do pênis a ciência já tinham pensado em mapear três décadas atrás. Há cerca de 20 vezes mais artigos científicos sobre a glande peniana do que sobre a glande clitoriana. Isso diz tudo sobre quanta atenção esse órgão tem recebido. Será que se Ju Young Lee não tivesse um clitóris, ela teria pensado nisso? "Historicamente, a urologia focou no pênis. Já a ginecologia focou mais nos órgãos reprodutivos, como o útero e os ovários. O clitóris fica na lacuna entre eles, e essa é uma das principais razões por que a ciência dele está tão atrasada", diz, Isso a motivou a buscar alguém da ginecologia que tivesse interesse no tema. O que a levou até o Centro Médico da Universidade de Amsterdã, onde passou a integrar o Human Organ Atlas Hub (HOAHub) - um projeto internacional cujo objetivo é mapear o corpo humano em 3D. Basicamente um Google Earth da anatomia. "A reação do público foi o que mais me surpreendeu. Acreditamos que o público estava esperando por essa discussão. Acho que a comunidade científica agora está começando a perceber isso" diz Lee. Mas, para ela, esse é apenas o começo. "E esse campo precisa não só de mais financiamento, mas também de mais conscientização. A maioria das pessoas, incluindo médicos, nunca recebeu um ensino adequado sobre a anatomia do clitóris. Acho que isso precisa mudar", afirma. E ela segue fazendo sua parte nessa conscientização. Tanto dentro do laboratório, com a pesquisa quanto fora dele, com um podcast chamado IGWA Women, que começou apenas em coreano, mas logo ganhou uma versão em inglês. "IGWA é uma palavra coreana para especialização em ciências. Então 'IGWA Women' basicamente significa 'mulheres na ciência'. Abordamos diversos tópicos, desde machine learning até filosofia da ciência e, claro, saúde da mulher. E, para mim, o podcast e o trabalho de laboratório são duas faces da mesma moeda. A ciência do clitóris não pode avançar apenas no laboratório", diz a cientista. Cientistas mapeiam o clitóris pela primeira vez Arte/g1
