Military electric vehicles: US hybrids - part two

Hybrid electric drive systems employ energy storage through high energy and power density batteries to supply vehicle systems and support the main engine at peak operation.

First night flight by a solar plane

The Solar Impulse HB-SIA, with André Borschberg at its controls, has successfully completed the first night flight by a solar plane landing at 09:00 on the 8th July.

Record efficiencies large-area epitaxial thin-film silicon solar cells

Imec realized large-area (70cm2) epitaxial solar cells with efficiencies of up to 16.3% on high-quality substrates. And efficiencies of up to 14.7% were achieved on large-area low-quality substrates, showing the potential of thin-film epitaxial solar cells for industrial manufacturing.

Military Electric Vehicles: An introduction - part one

The effects of climate policies will require new fuels and energy systems. Ignoring these trends will make us less secure; leading the way can make us more secure. The challenges inherent in this suite of issues may be daunting, particularly at a time of economic crisis. Still, our experience informs us there is good reason for viewing this moment in history as an opportunity.

Skyline Solar appoints Thomas Rohrs CEO

T Rohrs brings more than 30 Years of semiconductor, energy and technology management experience to Skyline; Bob MacDonald to remain as CTO

Towards more effective energy harvesting

Energy harvesting calls for collecting light energy from solar or photovoltaic cells, piezoelectric from pressure, kinetic energy from movement, or inductive energy from rotation or motion. This is what generates the low levels of current that make wireless sensors operational, and capturing and storing sufficient power for these applications is a challenge.

Huge sales opportunities for EVs and their components into East Asia

Those seeking to create multibillion dollar businesses in electric vehicles, their components, intellectual property and services should look at the world's largest market - East Asia.

New molecular framework could lead to flexible solar cells

Organic materials have long been recognized as having potential to create thin, flexible and low-cost photovoltaic devices, but it has been proven difficult to organize their component molecules reliably into ordered structures likely to maximize device performance.

Washington State University create super battery

Using super-high pressures similar to those found deep in the Earth or on a giant planet, Washington State University researchers have created a compact, never-before-seen material capable of storing vast amounts of energy.

SolarPrint enters into solar technology deal with Fiat

R&D consortium plans to develop the next generation of solar technology to cover the surface of electric vehicles.

Pressurex® Sensor Film for solar module manufacturing

Sensor Products Inc. introduces Pressurex®, a pressure indicating film that reveals pressure magnitude and distribution between any contacting or mating surfaces. In the Photovoltaics Industry, the need to reduce peripheral cracks on solar cells has received much attention.
