Moore Applied Materials’ Endura Impulse uses nine physical vapor deposition systems to rapidly build RRAM or PCRAM. Photo: Applied Materials. Chip equipment giant Applied Materials wants foundry companies to know that it feels…

I’ve been working on crowdsourced mapping for over 20 years. It seems like such a simple idea would be able to make the maps we need for Automated Vehicles, but it turns out it’s really hard. A few years ago this was a very hot space for investment, but people are now realizing it…

In a recent study in IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, a team of scientists in China proposed an intriguing way to track unfamiliar drones through crowdsensing. Their approach leverages participants’ smartphones to detect the Wi-Fi signals of drones.

The smart speaker system, described today in the journal npj Digital Medicine, detected agonal breathing events 97 percent of the time with almost no false alarms in a proof-of-concept study.
