A busy intersection without a signal to warn drivers when to slow down before stopping would be mayhem, right? Prior to 1923, it pretty much was. That's the year innovator Garrett Morgan, often referred to as the "Black Edison," patented his invention of a three-phase traffic signal. His handcranked device paved the way for the modern lights in use today, and thus prevented countless accidents. Read this week's featured article to see Morgan's original design and learn about the other lifesaving tool he devised.

The Next Time You're at a Yellow Traffic Light, Thank Garrett Morgan
Like a maestro guiding an orchestra through the movements of a symphony, the traffic light ushers drivers through the motions of transit, from the decrescendo of yellow to the precipitato of green.
It's looking like 2025 will be a year of U.S.-driven innovations. One of those could be wireless power — power that acts like a Wi-Fi signal — from Energous. It has the potential to save billions of dollars in inventory losses for retailers and manufacturers. That's why Energous is already working with a Fortune 10 multinational retailer and part of the AWS Partner Network. The company's patented solution provides two times the powerand better visibility than the competition. While Energous is public, it's giving investors something you won't find on the Nasdaq: one unregistered convertible preferred share (convertible into two Nasdaq: WATT common shares) and three warrants to purchase additional shares at a fixed price. Don't wait — be early to this Energous opportunity while you can.
