MIT Technology Review Explores Soccer’s Data Renaissance and China’s Expansive Nuclear Strategy

MIT Technology Review’s weekly download highlights two major trends. In sports, soccer is experiencing a data renaissance. Clubs are adopting advanced analytics to refine tactics and scouting. New metrics and real‑time tracking are reshaping how the game is played. At the same time, China is unveiling large‑scale nuclear power initiatives. The plans aim to boost clean‑energy capacity and cut carbon emissions. Both developments reflect a broader shift toward data‑driven decision making. Observers will watch how these sectors evolve over the coming year.
