Green Car Congress

Maize and other annual crops are easier to manage with traditional farming, but they are tougher on the environment. Maize, on the other hand, is highly productive but requires a great deal of water and nitrogen, and it loses carbon stored in its ecosystem through harvesting and tilling. Energy sorghum falls somewhere in between.

New ultrafast camera for self-driving vehicles and drones

Green Car Congress

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed an ultrafast high-contrast camera that could help self-driving cars and drones see better in extreme road conditions and in bad weather. The CeleX sensor allows pixel-parallel image processing at the focal plane and event-driven readout.
