Engineer creates origami battery

Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, can be used to create beautiful birds, frogs and other small sculptures. Now a Binghamton University engineer says the technique can be applied to building batteries, too.

Siemens builds first eHighway in Sweden

Siemens will install a catenary system for hybrid trucks in Sweden.

Immersion Corporation

Immersion are aleading company in the haptics space, holding over 1900 patents and spanning over 22 years of experience. This profile release represents a broad update including latest news and financials from FY2015 and early 2016.

Pulse Electronics

Pulse Electronics provides electronic component design and manufacturing. It offers a catalog of products as well as custom capabilities, supplying electronic components to OEMs, contract manufacturers and consumer electronic manufacturers. The company is now private but was formerly listed on the NYSE. It has annual sales of approximately $400 million. The company makes about 5% of all the antennas made for smart phones, routers and other consumer electronics wireless equipment. This activity was gained through acquisition including parts of Nokia's antenna business. It has now developed equipment, known as "fluidANT" that can print antennas on 3D substrate

A goosebump sensor reads your emotions

The thin flexible capacitive goosebump patch is able to measure the degree of human emotion quantitatively.

Unlocking the energy stored in plant cell walls

By virtue of their chloroplasts, plants are superb harvesters of solar energy. They use it to build leaves, flowers, fruits, stems, and roots. We harvest a small percentage of that energy in the form of food and a smaller amount in the form of wood for heating.

Nanoparticles that could offer alternative to rare earth magnets

A team of scientists has synthesized a powerful new magnetic material that could reduce the dependence of the United States and other nations on rare earth elements produced by China.

Supercapacitors with batteries or fuel cells: result happiness

IDTechEx interviews in Japan have established that supercapacitors across lithium-ion batteries in cars can increase range by 10% by permitting deep discharge, provided suitable batteries are used that can tolerate such a regime.

Energy efficiency and the future of long-distance flight

Andre Borschberg and Bertrand Piccard have suffered set-backs in their quest to circumnavigate the earth in an experimental solar-powered aircraft.
