Carnegie Mellon Safety21 Executive Director Karen Lightman was recently quoted in a PennLive.com article about self-driving tractor trailers rolling out in Pennsylvania.

Why Pa.'s self-driving trucks aren't fully on the road Pennsylvania is one of 22 states to enact legislation relating to autonomous vehicles, but it could be a few years away from deploying self-driving vehicles on roadways.

World Ocean Day spotlights the ocean’s importance to the global ecosystem, a topic that’s also of interest to Carnegie Mellon College of Engineering researchers.

Earth system models lack information about emissions along the coastline and over the open ocean because it is difficult and expensive to take atmospheric measurements. Carnegie Mellon Chemical Engineering's Coty Jen is lowering some of those barriers by developing smaller, battery-operated instruments.

“Understanding how emissions are changing in the Gulf of Maine will give insight into potential changes in other parts of the oceans,” said Jen of a five-week field research campaign conducted last fall.

Ocean winds and tides bring new data for climate models Carnegie Mellon chemical engineering professor Coty Jen and her graduate students conducted field research in Maine to measure emissions from seaweed.

Building the future economy requires coordination, partnership, and long-term investment. ACT NOW is a new Allegheny County-led initiative focused on strengthening regional coordination, investment, workforce opportunity, and long-term economic resilience. Today, regional leaders including CMU's Reeja Jayan and Costa Samaras came together to discuss how Allegheny County can strengthen clean technology, advanced manufacturing, workforce development, and regional competitiveness.

A new study from Carnegie Mellon University Civil and Environmental Engineering looks at how AI can support air traffic controllers in making safer, more efficient decisions on the taxi way and runway. Their approach results in less delays, improved safety, and more sustainable air travel.

AI-rside efficiency Researchers apply a new AI-enabled approach to optimize the safety and efficiency of airports. Tested at LAX and LaGuardia, the study reveals significant reductions in taxiway conflicts, fuel consumption, and hourly throughput.

The African Engineering and Technology Network recently signed its tenth university partner, Addis Ababa Science and Technology University. The network provides a vehicle for technology-focused universities in Africa to engage in deep collaboration to drive digital growth, create technology development, build pathways to opportunities for youth, and shape policy change.

Network members span the entire continent and include Agostinho Neto University, Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Carnegie Mellon University Africa, AUC The American University in Cairo, Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, University of Lagos, University of Nairobi, University of Rwanda, Wits - University of the Witwatersrand, and now, Addis Ababa Science and Technology University.

The Afretec Network signs tenth university partner Pan-African network, led by Carnegie Mellon University Africa, drives digital transformation on the continent through research, education, and entrepreneurship.

Can hackers pull your fingerprints from photos on social media? Experts explain. Claims have circulated on social media that fingerprints can be pulled from photos featuring peace signs, but experts say the risk to the average person is low.
