Tech accelerates hydrogen vehicle future

This technology will pave the way for bulk hydrogen to be transported in the form of ammonia, using existing infrastructure, and then reconverted back to hydrogen at the point of use. It has the potential to fill the gap in the technology chain to supply fuel cell vehicles around the world with low-emissions hydrogen sourced from Australia.

Electron Beam Patterning for high-resolution full-color OLED displays

OLED microdisplays are increasingly establishing themselves in consumer-ready wearables and data glasses. In order to meet the requirements for higher efficiency, higher contrast, and higher resolutions in these applications, scientists have developed a new micropatterning approach for OLEDs on silicon substrates.

Field testing harvesting robots

University of Plymouth spinout Fieldwork Robotics has signed an agreement with a leading UK soft-fruit grower to expand development of its harvesting robots.

Biliana K discusses technology as art

Biliana K discusses her work turning data into artwork and the development of her company.

Nanotube rebar makes graphene twice as tough

Rebar graphene is the nanoscale analog of rebar (reinforcement bars) in concrete, in which embedded steel bars enhance the material's strength and durability. Rebar graphene, developed by the Rice lab of chemist James Tour in 2014, uses carbon nanotubes for reinforcement.

Lead Acid Battery Horrors Spur Action at Last

The lead acid battery industry repeats a mantra that almost all of them are recycled and they are by far the lowest cost solution for cars and much else besides. Many forces now question and begin to change this.

EVNAViQ crushes range anxiety

The lack of available accurate navigation and trip-planning solutions for electric vehicles has long been a contributing factor toward range anxiety - and is delaying large-scale adoption of electric vehicles among the general public.

Acquisition of 282 rooftop solar assets in the UK

NESF, a specialist investment company that invests primarily in UK solar power plants, is pleased to announce the signing and completion of a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of two portfolios of operating rooftop solar consisting of 282 assets, an overall installed capacity of 1.15MW.

Robotic lawnmowers and child safety

Robotic lawn mowers are great for cutting the grass, but they do pose a risk of injury to children playing nearby. Highly advanced sensors developed by researchers ensure that the lawn mower shuts down when children are in close proximity.

Old mining techniques make a new way to recycle lithium batteries

Professor's idea to adapt 20th century mining technology to recycle lithium ion batteries, from the small ones in cell phones to the multi-kilowatt models that power electric cars, the same technologies used to separate metal from ore could be applied to spent batteries.

Forciot Ltd.

Forciot provides a hardware and software solutions based on stretchable sensors that sense both touch and force. Each sensor system layout is designed specifically for the target application.

Ireland's scheme to support domestic solar installation

This pilot scheme will support the installation of solar PV panels for the generation and self-consumption of renewable electricity. The scheme will be grant aided and there will be additional grants available to those who install battery storage to capture the electricity they generate for use at a later date.

Graphene skinned plane unveiled

The University of Central Lancashire has unveiled the world's first graphene skinned plane at an internationally renowned air show.

Forget joysticks, use your torso to pilot drones

Your torso is more intuitive - and more precise - than joysticks for piloting drones, both simulated and real, according to a recent study by EPFL scientists. Work is already underway to implement this new body-machine-interface technology for search and rescue with drones.

A new milestone in laboratory grown human brain tissue

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study.

Brite Solar

Brite Solar was founded in 2009 and is one of the only startups developing both a novel, third-generation dye-sensitised solar cell for greenhouse applications, and a "dynamic glass", which utilises an electrochromic technology.

Losing the wires: patient monitoring via electronic skin patches

There are many wearable technology products that focus on getting the user moving. Nowhere is this more relevant than in inpatient monitoring in a clinical setting.

Collaboration to develop CETO wave energy technology

Carnegie Clean Energy has entered into a A$1.6 million collaboration agreement with global renewables player Enel Green Power to further its CETO wave energy technology.

Technique to easily fabricate ceramic films used as OPV inter-layers

Organic photovoltaic cells using organic compounds have several advantages: they are lightweight, flexible, and sophisticated, and their production cost is low. For these reasons, they are anticipated as next-generation PV cells.

Researchers overcome color limitations in 3D powder sintering

In recent years, selective powder sintering for 3D printing has taken off as an increasingly affordable solution for manufacturing made-to-order elements of almost any shape or geometry, impacting multiple sectors of industry.
