WiPowerOne are a Korean startup working on wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging hardware. The original technology was developed by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), an early pioneer in the wireless EV charging market. The company provides wireless charging solutions for e-buses, e-trucks, and e-cars.

Is This A Turning Point For Consolidation In Additive Manufacturing?

In the past decade or so, the additive manufacturing industry has been characterized by an ever-increasing number of hardware players trying to capture their own share of the market. While there were signs of consolidation in the early 2010s, given major moves by industry leaders like Stratasys and 3D Systems, AM has instead seen a consistent stream of newcomers with their own innovative takes on AM, such that IDTechEx now segments their 3D printing hardware forecast by seventeen different categories to account for such diversity.

Sensmet Oy

Sensmet Oy is a Finnish company, which provides an on-line analysis technology for detecting metal impurities in liquid streams. IDTechEx spoke with Toni Laurila, CEO of the company, at The Battery Show Europe 2023.

Eaton Research Laboratories: Electric Motor Insulation

Eaton Research Laboratories provides research into various areas to enable new technologies and products for Eaton Corporation. IDTechEx spoke to a representative from the Advanced Materials and Processes division of Eaton Research Laboratories to learn about its newly developed PEEK insulation material for electric motors.

Why Na-Ion Attraction Lies in Composition Rather Than Performance

Na-ion is probably the most prominent metal-ion battery chemistry outside of Li-ion, working via the same 'rocking chair' (where the alkali-ion shuttles from a non-metal anode to a cathode during discharge and vice versa during charge) principle of reversible cation intercalation, at a positive and negative electrode.

Upcoming Webinar: A Primer on the Energy Storage & Hydrogen Landscape

Wednesday 14 June 2023 - Key for Decarbonisation but Challenges Lie Ahead. Li-ion batteries; Li-ion second-life and battery recycling; Alternative battery chemistries and energy storage technologies; Green and blue hydrogen

Nodar: Untethered Stereo Camera With LiDAR-Like Performance

Stereo cameras have been used in the automotive industry before, with a handful of examples. But so far these have needed to be physically linked with rigid connections, locking the cameras in position so that they stay calibrated. Nodar brings a unique algorithm which dynamically calibrates the stereo system, negating the need for stiff connections between the camera and allowing much wider mountings and much more accurate distancing.

ElastiSense
