ANT95-R and ANT130-R nanopositioning rotary stages

ANT95-R and ANT130-R nanopositioning rotary stages offer laboratory performance on a 24/7 production floor.

Research team assesses environmental impact of organic solar cells

Solar energy could be a central alternative to petroleum-based energy production. However, current solar-cell technology often does not produce the same energy yield and is more expensive to mass-produce.

Energy harvesting turnstile

The VIVA Design Team at the Guangdong University of Technology in China has designed a self powered turnstile called Green Pass.

Huge sales opportunities for EVs and their components into East Asia

Those seeking to create multibillion dollar businesses in electric vehicles, their components, intellectual property and services should look at the world's largest market - East Asia. This region of the world purchases about 56% of the global market value of electric vehicles for land, sea and air and it will still be doing that in ten years time. For Western companies to take this huge opportunity seriously they first need to slay six myths.

Carbon nanotubes could soon form antennas that capture light energy

New antenna made of carbon nanotubes could make photovoltaic cells more efficient by concentrating solar energy.

Electrical current harvested from plants

Stanford scientists have plugged into algae cells and harnessed a tiny electrical current. They found it at the very source of energy production - photosynthesis, a plant's method of converting sunlight to chemical energy.

New film technologies for printed polymer electronics developed

Bayer MaterialScience has developed extensive technology know-how and a wide range of materials for printing polycarbonate films.

Rhodia, an international chemical company, has joined with the UK's Carbon Trust in a £4.5 million investment in solar energy start-up Eight19 to develop organic photovoltaic technology.

New Hyundai BlueOn pure electric car

The government hopes that by 2020, 20 per cent of passenger cars in South Korea will be solely electric. Subsidies and tax incentives to promote sales of electric vehicles will be offered once the vehicles begin rolling off production lines.

Closer look on the 2nd German stimulus package & 1st model region

With joint efforts the federal government and the German economy is going to develop Germany into an international driving market for e-mobility. The objective is to have one million electric vehicles and a further 500,000 fuel cell powered vehicles operating on Germany's roads by 2020. Germany is also strong in electric aircraft such as PC-Aero and in industrial EVs.
