Solar powered lunar polar rover

The rover is tall enough to deploy a 4ft drill and produce 250W of power with solar panels oriented toward the Sun, which stays just above above the horizon.

Solar powered robot will search for water ice at the moon's poles

Astrobotic Technology has completed assembly of a full-size prototype of Polaris, a solar-powered robot that will search for potentially rich deposits of water ice at the moon's poles.

Wind could meet world power demand by 2030

Adapting a sophisticated climate model, researchers show that there is plenty of wind available to supply half to several times the world's total energy needs within the next two decades.

Linear Technology devices power Mars Curiosity Rover

Linear Technology Corporation has announced that its products are playing a key role in the Mars rover launched by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Energy harvesting supports NASA's Curiosity rover

As NASA's Curiosity rover beams photographs of Mars back to earth, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory describes how energy harvesting is helping Curiosity to carry out its mission.

Thermoelectric Generators: A $750 Million market by 2022

Although thermoelectric phenomena have been used for heating and cooling applications quite extensively, electricity generation has only seen very limited market in niche applications and it is only in recent years that interest has increased regarding new applications of energy generation through thermoelectric harvesting.

Laser beams charge electric planes in mid flight

The proprietary system that makes it possible to wirelessly transfer energy over long distances using laser light to create a continual source of power.

All-electric aircraft from New York to Paris

Long-range electric aerospace company Flight of the Century announced their intentions to design, build, and fly an all-electric aircraft from New York to Paris along the same 3,600 mile historic route pioneered by Charles Lindbergh in 1927.

Cella Energy signs fuel source deal with NASA Kennedy Space Center

Cella Energy's American subsidiary has signed on with Kennedy to make its micro-bead technology practical enough to be used as a fuel in most kinds of machinery, cars and perhaps even spacesuits and portable electronics.

Wearable fabric memristors

Now we see a return to the larger but thin film, titanium dioxide memristors in the form of fibers, the 12-300 nm layers being variously created by thermal or plasma oxidation, RF sputtering or electrochemical deposition with more conventional printing as a route to value engineering the devices in due course.

Nano-infused paint can detect strain

Rice University's fluorescent nanotube coating can reveal stress on planes, bridges, buildings

Boeing's Phantom Eye UAS completed its first autonomous flight

Boeing's Phantom Eye unmanned airborne system (UAS) completed its first autonomous flight June 1 at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, California.

Liquid-like materials could pave way for new thermoelectric devices

In the continual quest for better thermoelectric materials—which convert heat into electricity and vice versa—researchers have identified a liquid-like compound whose properties give it the potential to be even more efficient than traditional thermoelectrics.

UA engineer launches robotic planetary lake lander

Fink unveiled the lake lander, named Tucson Explorer II, or TEX II, in a paper titled "Robotic Lake Lander Test Bed for Autonomous Surface and Subsurface Exploration of Titan Lakes," which he presented March 8 at an aerospace conference organized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in Big Sky, Mont.

Boeing phantom eye conducts medium-speed taxi test

Phantom Eye reached speeds of up to 30 knots.

Distance record for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

In 2012, four Liquid Robotics "PACX Wave Glider" AUV gliders set a new distance world record by travelling autonomously almost 6000 kilometers.

Amazing new electric vehicles and components at EV Land Sea Air

The forthcoming event Electric Vehicles Land Sea Air USA 2012 in San Jose California March 27-28 will hear from the familiar giants such as Daimler, Mitsubishi and BMW talking of new initiatives, many beyond cars. It will also display and analyse many new electric vehicles not seen elsewhere including the new Soltrac pure electric farm tractor.

Liquid batteries could level the load

New results from an ongoing research program at MIT show a promising technology that could provide that long-sought way of leveling the load — at far lower cost and with greater longevity than previous methods.

Thermal energy battery enables off-grid milk chilling

Promethean's Thermal Energy Battery is a technology aimed at bringing cold-storage infrastructure to emerging economies.
