Together, Human Expertise And AI Can Make City Streets Safer, Scientists Say
Scientists in Spain have used artificial intelligence to identify common patterns in road traffic accidents. They used machine learning and artificial neural networks to analyze hours of video footage and thousands of images of life in Madrid and Barcelona. The results suggest most accidents occur on city streets cluttered with features that distract drivers. AI …
Stanford Researchers Develop New Manufacturing Technique For Flexible Electronics
Ultrathin, flexible computer circuits have been an engineering goal for years, but technical hurdles have prevented the degree of miniaturization necessary to achieve high performance. Now, researchers at Stanford University have invented a manufacturing technique that yields flexible, atomically thin transistors less than 100 nanometers in length – several times smaller than previously possible. The …
