Meridian Lightweight Technologies

Meridian Lightweight technologies are the largest magnesium die casting company in the world. IDTechEx analyst Dr Richard Collins interviewed Stephen Brown (Engineering Manager).

Off Grid Goes Mega

The decline in off grid electricity production as a percentage of all electricity production is being reversed. Savvy industrialists are onto this.

Advanced artificial limbs mapped in the brain

Scientists have used functional MRI to show how the brain re-maps motor and sensory pathways following targeted motor and sensory reinnervation, a neuroprosthetic approach where residual limb nerves are rerouted towards intact muscles and skin regions to control a robotic limb.

Tool to debug black box deep learning algorithms

Computers can now beat humans at chess and Go, but it may be a while before people trust their driving. The danger of self-driving cars was highlighted last year when Tesla's autonomous car collided with a truck it mistook for a cloud, killing its passenger.

Electric vehicles deliver two killer blows

The total cost of ownership of an electric vehicle is usually lower than the TCO of the smoking alternative but that is just the beginning.

VW fails to secure long-term cobalt supply for electric vehicles

Volkswagen has failed to secure a long-term supply of cobalt used in electrical vehicle batteries.

Launch of European battery alliance

Battery alliance announced in Brussels aims to expedite European battery cell manufacturing.

Commercialisation of AWE

Some findings from the new IDTechEx report, "Airborne Wind Energy 2017-2027"

Three aspirations for long distance EVs

All the publicity currently goes to the race to make regular and premium cars have longer range. This is because most people want only one car so it must be capable of the long distance trip however rare. That must be achieved despite the inadequacy of charging points in number, speed and compatibility of interface and payment means.

World's largest electric vehicle

A Swiss consortium of companies is constructing the largest electric vehicle in the world - in record time.

Energy independent electric vehicles: amazing new developments

As the world's first conference on Energy Independent Electric Vehicles approaches on September 27-28 in the Technical University of Delft Netherlands, key players, all of whom are speaking at the event, have been announcing some remarkable new developments.

Chinese rescue another electric laggard: Fiat Chrysler?

Analyst IDTechEx has long appraised the auto industry as consisting of those leading the move to pure electric powertrains such as Tesla, Renault + Nissan, Yutong and BYD of China, those only recently giving it major emphasis such as Toyota, Jaguar Land Rover, Volkswagen (under duress) and Daimler and those almost in denial such as Fiat Chrysler, Mazda and Suzuki, their pure electric activity being more of a gesture than a serious activity.

Electric Vehicles About to Leap in Range Again

This article covers different electric vehicles under development.

Goodbye roadside charging stations

Once we had rows of ugly stalks along the roadside that took your coins for parking - or more often failed to take your coins for parking. Unloved, they have now largely gone and no one mourns their passing. Unfortunately, in

EV clustered charging can be problematic for electrical utilities

Electric utilities are seeking solutions to problems resulting from clustered electric vehicle charging. Electricity generation is not an obstacle, instead it is at the local level, the so called 'the last mile', that the problem occurs.

Silicon solves problems for next-generation battery technology

Silicon - the second most abundant element in the earth's crust - shows great promise in Li-ion batteries, according to new research.

Thermoelectrics: Doors Close; Doors Open

This article covers the challenges companies involved in thermoelectric energy harvesting have faced and possible areas of development in the future.
