Two intelligent vehicles are better than one
(Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) Researchers at EPFL are working to improve the reliability and fault tolerance of intelligent vehicle systems by combining the data they gather with that from other vehicles.

Using simulators and road tests, the team has developed a flexible software framework for networking intelligent vehicles so that they can interact. -
Tungsten offers nano-interconnects a path of least resistance
(American Institute of Physics) As microchips become smaller, the shrinking size of their copper interconnects leads to increased electrical resistivity at the nanoscale. Finding a solution to this technical bottleneck is a problem for the semiconductor industry; one possibility involves reducing the resistivity size effect by altering the crystalline orientation of interconnect materials. Researchers conducted electron transport measurements in epitaxial single-crystal layers of tungsten as one -

Problems with senses may predict older adults' overall health, ability to function
(American Geriatrics Society) Researchers have mainly focused on what happens after people lose one or two of their senses. However, we know that losing more than two senses occurs frequently for older adults. Until now, no studies have examined how losing multiple senses affects older adults. To learn more, a team of researchers from the University of Chicago designed a study to focus on just that. Their study was published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
