- Smart People: Alex Bayen, Professor, Systems Engineering, UC Berkeley
- Imagine a commute without traffic congestion. Alex Bayen is currently working on the Mobile Millennium project, a traffic information system that uses GPS inside phones to gather traffic information, process it, and then broadcast it back in real-time, so people can have instantaneous traffic updates. This video is originally from...

- Improving chip density by a factor of 100
- According to the semiconductor industry, maskless nanolithography is a flexible nanofabrication technique which suffers from low throughput. But now, engineers at the University of California at Berkeley have developed a new approach that involves 'flying' an array of plasmonic lenses just 20 nanometers above a rotating surface. With this approach,...

- Cellphones used for medical imaging?
- A team of engineers at the University of California at Berkeley has developed a technique for transmitting medical images via cellphones. This potentially could bring medical imaging to the 'three-quarters of the world's population which has no access to ultrasounds, X-rays, magnetic resonance images, and other medical imaging technology.' The...
