6K and One to Produce Critical Battery Materials for Gemini and Aeries

6K, a leader in the sustainable production of engineered materials for lithium-ion batteries and additive manufacturing produced from its UniMelt plasma technology, announced that its 6K Energy division has signed a joint development agreement with Our Next Energy to develop and produce the critical battery material that ONE will use in their Gemini and Aries battery platforms.

Metalenz

Metalenz is a market leader in the metamaterial lens (metalens) market and provides flat lenses for depth sensing and facial recognition systems. IDTechEx spoke with Metalenz CEO Rob Devlin on 6th September, 2022.

Sharpest Image Ever of Universe's Most Massive Known Star

By harnessing the capabilities of the 8.1-meter Gemini South telescope in Chile, which is part of the International Gemini Observatory operated by NSF's NOIRLab, astronomers have obtained the sharpest image ever of the star R136a1, the most massive known star in the Universe. Their research challenges our understanding of the most massive stars and suggests that they may not be as massive as previously thought.

General Vibration — Synchronising Multiple Haptic Motors

IDTechEx had an interview with John Houston, President and CEO at General Vibration. General Vibration is a US-based IP licensing and technology development company working in the haptic actuator field.

6K and Our Next Energy Collaboration to Create Low-Cost Gemini Cathode

6K and Our Next Energy Inc announced a partnership as ONE looks to scale up and commercialize its Gemini cell chemistry. The organization signed a letter of intent outlining how the companies will work together to significantly lower the cost and manufacturing capital required when producing this new battery material.

DiDi

DiDi is a Chinese ride-hailing company that has been working on autonomous robotaxis.

General Vibration - Update

IDTechEx caught up with John Houston, Founder and CEO of General Vibration, about their latest progress. Our conversation came shortly after the launch of the PS5 from Sony and around the time of their filing of another key patent.

Mitsubishi Chemical

Mitsubishi Chemical have gone through many restructurings but have a Carbon Fibers & Composite Materials division and remain as one of the main players in the carbon fiber world. They are vertically integrated with both PAN and pitch-based variants (Pyrofil and DIALEAD as respective brand names).

Massive solar storage project for Nevada Desert

NV Energy continues to work toward its long-term goal of serving its customers with 100 percent renewable energy, announcing the addition of nearly 1,200 megawatts of new solar photovoltaic generation to be built in the state, along with 590 megawatts of battery storage.
