Green Car Congress

The team found that the vast majority of cars on the road consume no more energy in a day than the battery energy capacity in affordable EVs available today. Additionally, the days on which alternatives are needed should be known to drivers in advance—information that the team’s model “TripEnergy” is able to provide.

Understanding the Coronavirus Is Like Reading a Sentence

Cars That Think

Baidu Research USA and Oregon State University has shown that applying algorithms originally developed for natural language processing (NLP)—which helps computers parse human language—can vastly speed up predictions of RNA folding and the design of RNA sequences for vaccines. But that's not the only way, or even the best way, to do it.
