World's 1st Camera System to Spot Drivers Handling Mobile Phones Source:  Sydney Highways Stock Image New South Wales Using Tech to Cut Road Fatalities Australia's state of New South Wales, where Sydney is located, today rolled out new technology along the roads to cut fatalities caused by distracted drivers on mobile phones.  They're deploying high definition, AI-enabled detection cameras to spot drivers handling their mobile phones, which is illegal in New South Wales (NSW).  45 portable cameras, including fixed and mobile trailer mounted cameras, are being set-up in undisclosed locations.  Authorities believe that within two year the surveillance system will cut the number of fatalities on its roads by one-third. This HD, AI camera system tech and application are a world first. 24-7 Roadside Detection The high tech cameras work day, night and in all types of weather to detect if a driver going by is handling a mobile phone.  The cameras use artifi...

High Speed Electron Cameras Source:  DOE US Department of Energy's Breakthrough For the first time, researchers at the US Department of Energy/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have filmed ring-shaped molecules breaking open in response to being exposed to light.  They're calling it the first High Definition movie of such molecular activity.  A powerful, high speed electron camera did the filming. Spectacular Documentation and Highly Significant This electron camera's capabilities promise to help researchers deepen scientific understanding of life's fundamental chemical reactions.  For instance, how Vitamin D is produced in the body and other similar chemical reactions.  According to the scientists, the technology enables the best possible studies of fundamental processes on ultra fast and ultra small scales.  It's a technological advance enabling a deeper understanding of life.  For my book on the latest in medical innovations, check ou...
