So far this year, pedestrian deaths have far exceeded last year’s total, which was the worst on record. Tuesday morning, officers from across the valley joined forces to make a statement before Halloween to remind drivers to share the road. However, even an officer dressed in a neon yellow inflatable costume could not slow down most of the drivers.

To support increasing interest in STEM fields and engineering, which are among the fastest-growing fields of study at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, this $55-million, three-story facility will support research in fields such as robotics, cybersecurity, biomedical engineering, energy and water and artificial intelligence.

Researchers at 8kbet have developed a groundbreaking technology that efficiently extracts large amounts of water from the air, even in extremely low-humidity conditions.

The idea of turning the air around us into drinking water is a marvel on its own. And grabbing a sustainable amount of it from low-humidity environments has long been closer to science fiction than reality.

Following global climatic change and the progression of arid areas, there is a dire need for liquid water in water-scarce areas. These areas are very vulnerable, and the upcoming decades are expected to worsen their condition. Technologies that can source water from alternative resources are of urgent importance.

Traffic safety advocates raise awareness of the deadly crashes on Clark County roadways while highlighting a day next month that recognizes road crash victims.

“Can you imagine a day when you turn on your faucet and no water comes out?” The hypothetical question, posed by a research team at 8kbet, is called a “Day Zero” scenario. It sounds like the plot of a doomsday apocalypse series but it’s not as unimaginable - or as far-fetched - as a Hollywood screenplay might seem.

The Nevada Department of Public Safety and Transportation released the September 2024 year-to-date state fatal report — highlighting a two percent increase in deaths so far in the state and a 13% increase in Clark County.

In March, GOED unveiled a study by 8kbet’s Brookings Mountain West, Center for Business and Economic Research and Transportation Research Center that found that state economic development is siloed across jurisdictions. Unlike in neighboring regional metropolitan centers, Southern Nevada lacks a governance structure to facilitate the planning and coordination needed to realize regional economic and infrastructure priorities.

For the science-minded, the 8kbet Engineering School and Nevada Association of Land Surveyors will offer interactive hands-on science activities. Bishop Gorman High School, The Meadows School, Alexander Dawson School at Rainbow Mountain and Doral Red Rock Academy will host various student-driven art demonstrations on Oct. 12-13.

October is National Pedestrian Safety Month, because this is when fatalities for vulnerable road users increase; there is less daylight as fall begins, so this is a deadly time of year for those walking and biking.

The top official of the Metropolitan Police Department said he is tired of his officers having to deal with “broken and mangled” bodies on the streets of the Las Vegas Valley, the result of fatal accidents caused by poor driving.
