As part of the project, the developers at Siemens Corporate Technology are focusing on two areas: creating a modular powertrain and giving the vehicle a smart…
Developed in cooperation with BMW, this non-contact technology also works if drivers only make a short stop to recharge. The associated charging stations can…
The device overcomes the power requirement of traditional sensors and is simple, highly sensitive and can detect various molecules quickly. Its development…
A class of variable capacitor generators known as “dielectric elastomer generators” (DEGs) shows great potential for wearable energy harvesting. In fact,…
“Fossil fuels are limited, and since we can't use more than what Earth offers, a lot of people are looking for alternative fuel sources like algae,” said Peter…
Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are popping up more and more on rooftops, but they’re not necessarily the best solar power solution. “The big limitation of PV…
Through individual cooperative research and development agreements, or CRADAs, the companies hope to advance solar cell materials and processing technologies….
By doubling the output to 22 kilowatts, the charging station cuts charging times in half. The station is also protected against vandalism, thanks to a doubly…
Engineers may soon be singing, “I'm going to wash that gray right out of my nanowires,” thanks to a colorful discovery by a team of researchers from Harvard…
The final customer is A2SEA A/S, a supplier of installation services for the construction of offshore wind farms. Delivery of the self-propelled jack-up vessel…
The 3-D Li-ion battery recharges in minutes, rather than hours, and could bring closer the day in which electric cars can recharge as quickly as gas-powered…
The Boltzmann constant* relates energy to temperature for individual particles such as atoms. The accepted value of this constant is based mainly on a 1988…
Anywhere freshwater enters the sea, such as river mouths or estuaries, could be potential sites for a power plant using such a battery, said Yi Cui, associate…
The device enables mode 3 charging in accordance with IEC 61851-1 and is equipped with an Ethernet communication interface. This means the charger controller…
