A Purdue University researcher and students created a computer model, based on the 1999 shooting at Columbine High School, which looks at what happens to victims caught in shooter situations to provide better training for schools and other organizations.

A team of researchers from Jena presents a groundbreaking new method for the rapid, gentle and reliable detection of tumors with laser light. The Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) introduced a compact device for rapid cancer diagnosis during surgery at the leading trade fair "Laser World of Photonics" from 24 to 27 June 2019 in Munich. The optical method will help surgeons to remove tumors more precisely and perspectively could make cancer operations possible without a scalpel.

The deployment, successfully achieved by Ericsson and Telefónica, includes a new 5G Massive MIMO Radio running on 3.5GHz band, along with virtual Evolved Packet Core and User Data Consolidation.

Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a new tool to monitor people for cardiac arrest while they're asleep without touching them. A new skill for a smart speaker -- like Google Home and Amazon Alexa -- or smartphone lets the device detect the gasping sound of agonal breathing and call for help.

A program to monitor street signs automatically via Google Street View will save time and money for municipal authorities.

SEARCHLIGHT project radically rethinks wireless architectures for highly scalable ultra-dense millimeter-wave networks. Millimeter-wave technology will achieve data rates previously only possible with optical fiber.
