Rogers Corporation: Compression Pads With Fire Protection

Rogers has been a major player in providing compression pads for electric vehicle (EV) batteries (specifically pouch cells that expand and contract significantly under operation). IDTechEx spoke to Rogers to learn more about two of its new products, EVExtend (a new compression pad) and ProCell EV Firewall (a compression pad with fire protection included).

Energy Storage Systems for the Cayman Islands

The technology group Wärtsilä will supply two 10-megawatt / 10-megawatt hour energy storage systems under an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction contract to Caribbean Utilities Company Ltd in the Cayman Islands. This project, which will be CUC's first energy storage facilities, will enable the utility to approximately double its renewable energy capacity on Grand Cayman, the largest of the three Cayman Islands.

World's First Electric Flying Boat Concept Completes First Flight

Regent has announced that its seaglider technology demonstrator completed its first successful series of flights. The Regent seaglider is the first-ever vehicle to successfully utilize three modes of maritime operation—floating, foiling and flying—marking a major step forward in maritime transportation.

Technology Generates Electricity from Ocean Waves, Clothing, Cars

Imagine this: Clothing that charges your smart watch as you walk, buildings that vibrate in the wind and power your lights, a road that extracts energy from the friction created by moving cars, and flexible structures that change shape in ocean waves to generate clean electricity for communities around the world.

Thin Film Technologies for the Energy Transition

Glass facades characterize modern architecture. While solar radiation serves to support heating in winter, the building interior heats up in summer and requires active cooling. Smart windows can regulate the solar radiation according to the weather situation - a forward-looking solution in times of energy saving. Researchers have now succeeded in producing the world's first thermochromic layer on ultra-thin glass in a roll-to-roll process. These results will make mechanical blinds superfluous in the future and at the same time reduce the cooling and heating energy requirements of a building.

European-Sponsored Project to Increase Sustainability of Electronics

TNO at Holst Centre in Eindhoven hosted the kick-off of the ECOTRON project, which has been set up to reach a sustainable electronics production process through hybrid printed electronics. In short, ECOTRON aims to create more sustainable electronics by using printing and dismantling techniques that allow low-energy production processes and a circular build-up of materials that are potentially of 'renewable' or compostable origin.

materialsIn

MaterialsIn is an early-stage New York State-based company involved in materials informatics and optimization of industrial processes. It is commercializing the work of co-founder Professor Krishna Rajan at the University of Buffalo.

A Giant Leap for Norway as a Battery Powerhouse

Morrow Batteries and Siva are building a battery factory that will contribute to value creation far beyond the battery coast of southern Norway. While laying the cornerstone for Battery Factory 1 in Arendal, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said that the new factory will be an essential contribution to the government's efforts to boost domestic battery production and enable Norway to compete at the global level.

Passive Cooling System Could Benefit Off Grid Locations

As the world gets warmer, the use of power-hungry air conditioning systems is projected to increase significantly, putting a strain on existing power grids and bypassing many locations with little or no reliable electric power. Now, an innovative system offers a way to use passive cooling to preserve food crops and supplement conventional air conditioners in buildings, with no need for power and only a small need for water.

Mercedes-Benz Trucks Presents eActros LongHaul for Long Distance

In terms of payload, distance and routes, heavy-duty long-haul transport is the most demanding segment in road freight transport. At the same time, there is great potential here to reduce CO2 emissions. Following the market launch of the eActros for heavy-duty distribution transport in 2021, Mercedes-Benz Trucks is now igniting the next stage for battery-powered heavy-duty long-haul transport.

3D Printing Drones Build and Repair Structures While Flying

3D printing is gaining momentum in the construction industry. Both on-site and in the factory, static and mobile robots print materials for use in construction projects, such as steel and concrete structures. This new approach to 3D printing uses drones, that use collective building methods inspired by natural builders like bees and wasps who work together to create large, intricate structures.

In-Home Wireless Device Tracks Disease Progression in Parkinson's

Parkinson's disease is the fastest-growing neurological disease, now affecting more than 10 million people worldwide, yet clinicians still face huge challenges in tracking its severity and progression. More than 40 percent of individuals with Parkinson's are never treated by a neurologist or Parkinson's specialist, often because they live too far from an urban center or have difficulty traveling. In an effort to address these problems, researchers demonstrated an in-home device that can monitor a patient's movement and gait speed, which can be used to evaluate Parkinson's severity, the progression of the disease, and the patient's response to medication.
