Stratio Inc

Stratio has developed an innovative approach to reducing the cost of manufacturing short-wave infra-red image sensors by using germanium rather than indium gallium arsenide as the photo-sensitive material. It has also developed a range of products that demonstrate its key value proposition of affordable, portable, and versatile optical measuring devices.

Will the Return of Major Players Drive the Growth of the SOFC Market?

Following several decades of research and development, fuel cells are beginning to enable the promise of low-emission power generation, with specific success seen for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC).

How Long Until Small Modular Reactors Make an Impact on Energy Grids?

By taking advantage of assembly line production, SMRs promise cost reductions and shorter construction times relative to their conventional counterparts. The first nuclear small modular reactors (SMRs) are already operational in Russia and China, but widening adoption will require both technical and regulatory developments, including development in fuel supply chains and international licensing standardization.
