The news media is finally taking note of all the technology coming to supermarkets—such as the numerous developments we saw in Ohio during our visit to Kroger’s store-of-the-future last month (field trip, April 2019). An Austin-based startup, for example, is testing drones to monitor inventory on shelves (something Kroger is already doing, using cameras).

Experimental design matters, especially when on the lookout for an ultra-rare event like two-neutrino double electron capture of 124Xe, which has a mind-boggling half-life of 1022 years.

TTI/V would like to thank the Cincinnati Reds for winning their second game of the young season and long time member Kroger for a remarkable visit to their Store of the Future. We saw innovations in ultrawide-aspect 4K rear projection display technology, cameras, and temperature sensors, and an integration of it all into an efficient,  big-data-powered grocery store experience. Thank you Brett Bonner and your outstanding team! Thank you members who traveled to join us. It would not have been the same without you. We’ll let you know when Nancy Kleinrock’s write-up is posted in the archives.
