Dr. Wencai Zhang: “Our goal is to contribute to the supply chain of these critical materials while also making a positive environmental impact. We specifically aim to reduce the environmental consequences that can be associated with produced water.”

How can lithium, one of the most demanded minerals for clean energy products like electric vehicles, be harvested without harming the environment? This is | Technology.

It reaffirms Tesla’s goal to launch the company’s self-driving technology in two new markets early next year.

Researchers use AI and models to improve EV battery safety:

One of the electric vehicles’ most critical safety concerns is keeping their batteries cool, as temperature spikes can lead to dangerous consequences.

New research led by a University of Arizona doctoral student proposes a way to predict and prevent temperature spikes in the lithium-ion batteries commonly used to power such vehicles.

What could be faster than the long-range, high-altitude, Mach 3+ strategic reconnaissance aircraft, the Lockheed SR-71 ‘Blackbird’

The ability to detect objects in settings with unfavorable lighting, for example at night, in shadowed locations or in foggy conditions, could greatly improve the reliability of autonomous vehicles and mobile robotic systems. Most widely employed computer vision methods, however, have been found to perform under poor lighting.

Researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University recently introduced a new bio-inspired vision sensor that can adapt to the spectral features of the environments it captures, thus successfully detecting objects in a wider range of lighting conditions. This newly developed sensor, introduced in a paper published in Nature Electronics, is based on an array of photodiodes arranged back-to-back.

“In a previous paper in Nature Electronics, we presented a simple in-sensor light intensity adaptation approach to improve the recognition accuracy of machine vision systems,” Bangsen Ouyang, co-author of the paper, told Tech Xplore.

Tesla has reportedly chosen its location for the Robotaxi unveiling event on October 10, and it is quite interesting.

According to a new report from Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, Tesla is planning to show off its new Robotaxi platform, along with “a few other things,” at the Warner Brothers Studio in Burbank, California.

Tesla initially planned to hold its unveiling event on August 8, but it was pushed back to October 10 due to a request for a front-end design change by CEO Elon Musk, who also hinted there would be more to show at the event with the delayed date.
