Cardiac-Monitoring Cars Can Improve Road Safety
The goal: monitor and analyze the physiology of the person driving and predict if they are going to have adverse cardiac events.
EVs Can Help Support the Grid, PG&E Study Confirms
Using EVs as a flexible grid resource could lead to cost savings associated with operating and maintaining the grid as well as owning an EV.
Processes Enabling Nanomanufacturing
The processes that nanomanufacturing engineers use to fabricate nanomaterials, nanoelectronic devices and other nanotechnology products depend on their nanotechnology approach and the specific nanotechnology product being manufactured. Two major approaches to nanomanufacturing are top down and bottom up. Nanofabrication processes enable the bottom-up approach. Nanoimprinting and self-assembly processes are newer nanofabrication processes under development. Powder and particle fabrication methods enable the top-down approach.
Video: Understanding How the Brain Works May Pave the Way for Better Vision for Robotics and Self-Driving Cars
If we don’t understand how our brains recognize vision, how can we program computers to do it?
Women in Engineering: Unintended Consequences of Promotion
A purposeful increase of female representation in the managerial ranks of engineering firms may add another layer of sex segregation.
NYC Orders Solar Powered EV Charging Stations
The charging station fits inside a parking space and generates enough solar electricity to power up to 225 miles of EV driving in a day.
Video: Project Wing Just Took a Major Step Toward Successful Drone Delivery
Google‘s Project Wing, a drone and automated aircraft delivery service that is quickly jumping over all the hurdles. This week, the drones successfully passed tests by the FAA and NASA for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
A New Use for Old Cars
Instead of rotting away in a salvage yard or in someone’s driveway, researchers have imagined a different ending for some of the parts that make up vehicles.
