Fitbit founders James Park and Eric Friedman have announced the launch of a new AI startup called Luffu that aims to help families proactively monitor their health. The duo are developing an “intelligent family care system” that will start with an app experience and then expand into hardware devices. Two years after their exit from Google, Park and Friedman are betting on AI to help lighten the mental burden of caregiving. According to a recent report, 63 million, or nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults are family caregivers, up 45% from 10 years ago. Luffu uses AI in the background…

After years of slow progress, researchers may finally be seeing a clear path forward in the quest to build powerful quantum computers. These machines are expected to dramatically shorten the time required for certain calculations, turning problems that would take classical computers thousands of years into tasks that could be completed in hours. A team led by physicists at Stanford University has developed a new kind of optical cavity that can efficiently capture single photons, the basic particles of light, emitted by individual atoms. Those atoms serve as the core components of a quantum computer because they store qubits, which…
