HEI ACES study of lifetime animal exposure to New Technology Diesel Engine exhaust finds no lung cancer

Green Car Congress

exhaust from heavy-duty diesel engines meeting EPA 2007 and later emissions requirements—has found no evidence of carcinogenic lung tumors. The study exposed laboratory rats 80 hours a week, for up to 30 months, to emissions from a heavy-duty diesel engine meeting 2007 US EPA standards using new filters and other control technology.

Fast, Efficient Neural Networks Copy Dragonfly Brains

Cars That Think

In my research at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, I study the brains of one of these larger insects, the dragonfly. Looking to a dragonfly as a harbinger of future computer systems may seem counterintuitive. Consider the brains of those ants in your pantry. Each has some 250,000 neurons. And the energy cost is off-putting.
