A "Nano-Robot" Built Entirely from DNA to Explore Cell Processes

Constructing a tiny robot from DNA and using it to study cell processes invisible to the naked eye... You would be forgiven for thinking it is science fiction, but it is in fact the subject of serious research. This highly innovative "nano-robot" should enable closer study of the mechanical forces applied at microscopic levels, which are crucial for many biological and pathological processes.

A Water Activated Disposable Paper Battery

A team of researchers have developed a water-activated disposable paper battery. The researchers suggest that it could be used to power a wide range of low-power, single-use disposable electronics - such as smart labels for tracking objects, environmental sensors and medical diagnostic devices - and minimize their environmental impact.

GenCell Energy Enters Strategic Partnership with ONEC Group

GenCell Energy, provider of hydrogen and ammonia to power fuel cell solutions, is entering a strategic partnership with the ONEC Group, a mid-sized Canadian project delivery company. Together the two companies aim to grow the presence of GenCell's backup and off-grid power solutions across North America.

Electric Cars as Buffer Storage for Solar Power

Infineon Technologies AG and Delta Electronics have developed a three-in-one-system that integrates solar, energy storage and charging of electric vehicles. Thanks to bidirectional inverters, the electric car is not only charged, but can also be used as a buffer storage or as household emergency backup power. More and more cars are equipped for this. Looking ahead, bidirectional energy flows coulf also be used to realize new vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid solutions.
