Tangfeng Energy

Tangfeng Energy is a leading Chinese supplier of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) and catalysts for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells and PEM water electrolyzers. Its headquarters is in Shanghai, China. IDTechEx interviewed Tangfeng Energy at the Hydrogen Technology & Carbon Capture Technology World Expo 2025 in Hamburg, Germany.

Converting Solar Energy to Electricity on Demand

The researchers behind an energy system that makes it possible to capture solar energy, store it for up to eighteen years and release it when and where it is needed have now taken the system a step further. After previously demonstrating how the energy can be extracted as heat, they have now succeeded in getting the system to produce electricity, by connecting it to a thermoelectric generator. Eventually, the research could lead to self-charging electronics using stored solar energy on demand.

Inflatable Robotic Hand Gives Amputees Real Time Tactile Control

AI Predicts Gestational Diabetes in Chinese Women

Machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, can predict which women are at high risk of developing gestational diabetes and lead to earlier intervention, according to a new study.

New perovskite material shows promise alternative silicon

Silicon dominates solar energy products -- it is stable, cheap, and efficient at turning sunlight into electricity. Any new material taking on silicon must compete, and win, on those grounds. As a result of an international research collaboration have found a stable material that efficiently creates electricity - which could challenge silicon hegemony.

Field trials of raspberry harvesting robot system

University of Plymouth spinout company Fieldwork Robotics has completed initial field trials of its robot raspberry harvesting system.

Multimaterial 3D printing

Traditional robotic systems with rigid parts often pose a threat to human operators. Recently flourishing soft actuators and robots, in contrast, offer excellent adaptivity to surroundings and safe, coexisting interaction with humans. However, their competence in load-bearing tasks is undermined by the inherent low-stiffness nature of constituent materials like silicone rubbers.
