Volkswagen WeShare launched in Berlin as full-electric service

With 1,500 e-Golf vehicles, the Volkswagen brand is bringing onto the roads a 100 percent electric fleet and all the vehicles will be operated on green power. They are to be followed by 500 additional e-up! vehicles at the beginning of next year and the first units of Volkswagen's new full-electric ID.3 when it is introduced in mid-2020.

A Remarkable Year for Stationary Energy Storage

2018 was a remarkable year for stationary energy storage. Governments and policymakers around the world are beginning to wake up to the value batteries can offer to the grid, both in terms of flexibility and decarbonisation. Over 6GWh was deployed, and market leaders such as Tesla expect to double their deployments for 2019.

Social robots can benefit hospitalized children

A new study demonstrates, for the first time, that "social robots" used in support sessions held in pediatric units at hospitals can lead to more positive emotions in sick children.

Hybrid device may help doctors treat strokes more quickly

Researchers have developed a device that uses near-infrared light to monitor blood flow. The hybrid instrument, which relies on the combination of two light measurement techniques, could be used to quickly and noninvasively diagnose cerebral ischemia.

Rapid test for malaria using a graphene biosensor

Researchers are developing a device that allows the early diagnosis of malaria, in a fast and reliable way, and at an accessible cost.

Lightyear One vs Tesla Model 3

New solar car assessed: needs, uniques, competition.

inHEART

inHEART develop medical imaging processing and visualisation tools for the treatment of cardiac rhythm disorders.

Fuel cell EVs fit in where?

Time was when fuel cells were to be in every bike then every motorbike then they were pushed back to ever larger vehicles. The IDTechEx take is that fuel cells are most likely to find their place where batteries cannot give the range and where few of the expensive charging station systems are needed meaning fleets and trains.

More trials for wave powered energy generator

Tiny living corals occupy vast extensions, forming a reef able to absorb much of the energy of waves in an efficient manner. This led to the idea of creating direct action turbines placed in series, composed of many blades simulating a coral reef.

BMW Group steps up the pace of e-mobility expansion

BMW will now achieve the total of 25 electrified models previously announced for 2025 two years earlier, in 2023. Thanks to flexible vehicle architectures for fully-electric, plug-in hybrid and combustion engine drive trains, the company is able to respond quickly to changing conditions. More than half of the 25 models will be fully electric.

Energy storage system uses EV battery packs

Investment into a stationary, energy storage system which uses electric vehicle battery packs after they have completed their useful lives on-board vehicles.

Phones and wearables combine to assess worker performance

Using smartphones, fitness bracelets and a custom app, researchers have created a mobile-sensing system that judges employee performance. The system works by monitoring the physical, emotional and behavioral well-being of workers to classify high and low performers.

3DCompare.com on-demand manufacturing platform investment round

3DCompare is announcing the result of a successful investment seed round of £150k in funding. Using the additional funding, 3DCompare will develop its broad range of services, including its compare tool algorithm for finding suitable manufacturers, allowing it to advance to a new phase of the company's continuous growth.

Vagus nerve stimulation reduces rheumatoid arthritis symptoms

The results of a pilot study suggest that electro stimulation of one of the nerves connecting the brain to the body (the vagus nerve), could provide a novel treatment approach for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Crawling robots, drones detect damage to save wind blades

Drones and crawling robots outfitted with special scanning technology could help wind blades stay in service longer, which may help lower the cost of wind energy at a time when blades are getting bigger, pricier and harder to transport, researchers say.

Nova Graphene

IDTechEx spoke with Nova Graphene. Nova Graphene have been operating since 2017 and as of June 2019 have 10-emplyees. They provide graphene (single-layer, multi-layer, and blends) under the branding CarbonEra.

Industrial scale manufacturing lines for energy storage solutions

Comau has been commissioned to build one of the world's first automated manufacturing lines for lithium-ion battery modules for transport applications by Leclanché, one of the world's leading providers of energy storage solutions.

Novares integrates FlexEnable's conformable OLCDs into new demo car

FlexEnable has announced that it has collaborated with Novares on the integration of curved, glass-free organic LCDs into the Novares Nova Car #2.
