Hydrogen Not Batteries for Grid Balancing?

A large amount of renewable energy production is turned off when it is being produced at a time of day or the season when it is not needed. Lithium-ion batteries have recently become popular not just for compensating at the house level but even at the power station grid level.

Airport EVs

EVs at airports include terminal vehicles used by workmen and to ferry the disabled and Ground Service Equipment (GSE) serving the aircraft on airside. Airport GSE EVs were the largest industrial/ commercial EV market subsector after forklifts but it was overtaken by buses in numbers around 2016 and in market value much earlier. However, airports remain a growth industry for EVs because the number of aircraft flying is increasing.

Engineers 3D print shape-shifting smart gel

Engineers have invented a "4D printing" method for a smart gel that could lead to the development of "living" structures in human organs and tissues, soft robots and targeted drug delivery.

British Airways using facial recognition

British Airways has become the first airline to trial self-service biometric boarding gates on international flights out of the USA, working in partnership with Los Angeles Airport.

A nanophenomenon that triggers the bone-repair process

Researchers have discovered that bone is flexoelectric. They posit the possible role of flexoelectricity in the regeneration of bone tissue in and around the kind of microfractures incurred in bones on a daily basis.

Tiny scales for medical implants and flexible electronics

Scales are the material of choice for animals from pangolins to fish: They're customizable, water-friendly, strong but flexible, and easy to fix when damaged. Scientists would like to recreate this unique structure—they can imagine uses from medical implants to flexible electronics—but it's proved difficult using non-organic materials.

Customizable, fabric-like power source

Scientists have created a customizable, fabric-like power source that can be cut, folded or stretched without losing its function.

New thin transparent and lightweight touchscreen pressure sensor array

Researchers have demonstrated a new technology for 'force sensing' that can be added to any type of display, including flexible devices, and potential other uses go far beyond touch screen displays on mobile devices.

Custom ink, ultraviolet light to repeatedly change an object's colour

3-D printing has come a long way since the first rapid prototyping patent was rejected in 1980. The technology has evolved from basic designs to a wide range of highly-customizable objects. Still, there's a big issue: Once objects are printed, they're final. If you need a change, you'll need a reprint.
