Researchers build 'digital twin' to model Manhattan air quality

Phys.org reports that Cornell engineers have developed a digital twin framework — a real-time virtual replica of Manhattan's carbon dioxide conditions. The tool could help city planners monitor emissions, identify hotspots, and test potential interventions before trying them in the real world. It's a way to experiment with air quality changes without touching the actual streets.
