This research was conducted as an international joint research project involving Professor Mingon Kang of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).

Officials say the tool, which will require human verification, will increase efficiency, but others are worried about its transparency and security.

Red has been the required background color for all government-related stop signs since the 1950s. However, blue stop signs can also be put up by private property owners on their own land.

In recent years, sea life along California’s southern coast has been in a state of crisis, with growing numbers of deceased or sick sea lions washing up on shore. The cause can be traced to toxic algal blooms and domoic acid in particular, which acts as a neurotoxin and can lead to seizures, brain damage, and death. In order to diagnose and treat sick sea lions that are beaching themselves, veterinary professionals are on site to collect blood from the animals. In an effort to improve this procedure and enable vets to work more efficiently, a team of researchers from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) as developed a synthetic sea lion pelvis using a combination of medical imaging and 3D printing technologies.

The City of Las Vegas plans on using advanced signal technology to transform 16 intersections in and around Fremont Street, including at Las Vegas Boulevard and Fremont Street, to potentially eliminate the traditional pedestrian push button. The city was granted $1.4 million from the Federal Highway Administration to implement the AI pedestrian safety technology later this year.

The four-year project, funded by the National Science Foundation, engages 96 high school students (grades 10-12) in an immersive learning experience in microelectronics and semiconductor fields through three-phase training workshops, and connects them with their future career pathways through paid internships with local industry.
