Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated with Implanted Cells That Release Drug

With a goal of developing rheumatoid arthritis therapies with minimal side effects, researchers at have genetically engineered cells that, when implanted in mice, will deliver a biologic drug in response to inflammation.

Mercedes-Benz Takes the Next Step on the Road to Green Steel

Mercedes-Benz is taking another important step on the way to a green steel supply chain. To this end, the company has launched a partnership with the Swedish steel manufacturer SSAB for CO2 free steel. Together, the partners are already setting the course today to introduce green steel into the vehicles as quickly as possible: The first prototype parts for body shells made of CO2 free steel are already being planned for next year.

Which COVID-19 Patients Are Most Likely to Need Ventilators?

Researchers are developing a computational tool to help medical staff decide which patients will need the most extensive treatment for COVID-19.

Using Liquid Metal to Turn Motion into Electricity - Even Underwater

Researchers have created a soft and stretchable device that converts movement into electricity and can work in wet environments.

Vehicle Integrated Photovoltaics Deliver 30 Percent More Power

A flexible standard solar module for vehicle integration. SolFlex is based on crystalline solar cells and achieves around 30% more power per square meter than current flexible modules that use thin-film technology.

€45million EU-SCORES Project: Multi-Source Offshore Marine Energy

A new €45million marine energy project - European SCalable Offshore Renewable Energy Sources (EU-SCORES) - is paving the way for bankable multi-source offshore parks across Europe by 2025.

Bacteria May Hold Key for Energy Storage, Biofuels

Bioengineers are trying to solve a big problem: How to build a low-cost, environmentally friendly and large-scale system for storing and retrieving energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar. Currently, there are no sustainable methods for storing green energy, as batteries are environmentally toxic.

CarbonFree

CarbonFree is a company utilizing carbon dioxide from industrial emissions to produce carbon-negative chemicals, currently focusing on precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). In August 2021, IDTechEx Technology Analyst Dr Hydra Rodrigues spoke with Martin Keighley, CEO of CarbonFree.

IDTechEx Dissects the Market for Solid-state Batteries in New Report

This article explores the history of solid-state batteries and looks ahead at regional development, sharing some of the research from the new IDTechEx report, "Solid-State and Polymer Batteries 2021-2031: Technology, Forecasts, Players".

Energy Harvesting Wooden Floors

Researchers from Switzerland are tapping into an unexpected energy source right under our feet: wooden floorings. Their nanogenerator enables wood to generate energy from our footfalls. They also improved the wood used in the their nanogenerator with a combination of a silicone coating and embedded nanocrystals, resulting in a device that was 80 times more efficient—enough to power LED lightbulbs and small electronics.

High Power Wireless Vehicle Charging Technology

The US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has licensed its wireless charging technology for electric vehicles to Brooklyn-based HEVO. The system could one day enable electric vehicles to be charged as they are driven at highway speeds.

Smart Wound Dressings with Built-In Healing Sensors

Researchers have developed smart wound dressings with built-in nanosensors that glow to alert patients when a wound is not healing properly. The multifunctional, antimicrobial dressings feature fluorescent sensors that glow brightly under UV light if infection starts to set in and can be used to monitor healing progress.

E-Skin Identifies Your Movements

Scientists have created a wearable motion sensor capable of identifying bending and twisting, and can be applied in healthcare and manufacturing.

Bionic Arm Restores Natural Behaviours in Upper Limb Amputations

Researchers have engineered a first-of-its-kind bionic arm for patients with upper-limb amputations that allows wearers to think, behave and function like a person without an amputation, according to new findings.

Dawn Aerospace Flight Testing Commences - Five Flights Complete

Dawn is creating reusable and sustainable space technologies - suborbital and orbital rocket-powered planes - that operate much like a fleet of aircraft, taking off and landing horizontally at airports.

AI for Detecting Objects Based on Aerial Photographs

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence neural network module for creating digital maps using deep learning-based technology. The module can accurately extract buildings from aerial photographs for remote sensing.

Electric Gains in Battery Performance

A high-performance version of the zinc-ion battery will enable stationary energy storage that promises to be cheaper, safer and more environmentally friendly than lithium-ion batteries.

Largest Solar-plus-Storage Solution for Northern Africa Mining Site

The project is scheduled to be commissioned in the first half of 2022. It will cut the mine's diesel consumption by approximately 20 to 22 million liters per year and thus offset between 53,000 and 60,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. The solar-plus-storage micro-grid installation will enable Centamin to tangibly reduce its mine's electricity bills, as the operator will partially shift away from fuel, which is often volatile in price.
