The finalists for the 2026 Franz Edelman Award innovate in supply-chain replenishment, food distribution, cloud fulfillment and carbon-aware high-performance computing.
AI technologies (or computer programs in general) automating price setting is, on the face of it, a straightforward application of the laws of demand and supply to the context of digital platforms. However, the potential for algorithmic collusion and antitrust implications are far from straightforward.

CHICAGO - New research could make air travel safer during the pandemic, as the number of people hitting the skies keeps climbing.
The world has marveled at the speed with which science took on and solved the task of creating effective vaccines for Covid-19. But another often-overlooked science — the engineering and management science of operations research — is now equally important for getting vaccines into the arms of Americans.
CATONSVILLE, MD, March 24, 2021 – COVID-19 has been shown to spread on airplanes by infected passengers, so minimizing the risk of secondary infections aboard aircraft may save lives. New research in the INFORMS journal Service Science uses two models to help solve the airplane seating assignment problem (ASAP). The models can lower the transmission risk of COVID-19 more so than the strategy of blocking the middle seats, given the same number of passengers.
The first Covid-19 vaccine candidate went into the arms of volunteers in Seattle in March 2020. It was an mRNA vaccine from Moderna. The mRNA candidate from BioNTech and Pfizer followed in April. By December 2020, these two had become the first vaccines to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Hot on their heels are rivals based on adenovirus vectors from AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson, as well as Sputnik V from Russia.
As more people get vaccinated, doctors say we need to start thinking about moving vaccines from mass vaccination sites to health care facilities, such as doctors' offices.
