Cities Integrating AI Into Public Services With No Common Framework for Assessing Readiness, Oxford Insights Finds6.10.2026 05:00:00 EEST | Press release

Cities are integrating artificial intelligence into public services and operations with no shared framework for measuring or comparing how prepared they are to do so safely, effectively or accountably. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261005281462/en/ Cover of Oxford Insights' latest report on City AI Readiness.

The findings draw on

NEG Develops “BDX-3,” a New Starveil™ Ultra-thin Cover Glass for a Wider Range of Space Environments6.10.2026 04:00:00 EEST | Press release

Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. (NEG) (TOKYO: 5214) has developed “BDX-3,” a new Starveil™ ultra-thin cover glass for space applications. BDX-3 is designed to reduce radiation-induced discoloration while providing greater ultraviolet (UV) shielding performance than BDX-2. While primarily intended for low Earth orbit (LEO), it can also be used in medium Earth orbit (MEO) and high Earth orbit, making it suitable for a wider range of space environments. Samples are now available for purchase, and NEG aims to achieve commercial adoption of BDX-3 in satellites and other spaceborne equipment. About BDX-3 Satellites and other equipment operating in space are exposed to intense UV radiation and other forms of radiation.
