Solar powered bus stops

The solar bus stop is a modular structure which is easy to install or relocate as it does not need any wiring, and the bus stop is totally self-sufficient, using its own energy resources to power information boards showing arrival times of buses.

Smaller and more efficient nuclear battery

University of Missouri researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.

HYPOLED consortium announces new partner and important milestones

The consortium for the HYPOLED project, co-ordinated by Fraunhofer IPMS, has announced collaboration with MicroOLED following the bankruptcy of MicroEmissive Displays late last year.

Vibration harvesting skis

Piezoelectric materials convert mechanical energy into electricity and, inversely, convert electricity into mechanical energy. Sport equipment manufacturer Head Sport is manufacturing "intelligence" skis that make use of this energy harvesting technology to maximize performance.
