Supercapacitors increase range of electric vehicles
Supercapacitors are increasing the range of electric vehicles in several ways and by doing so they are hugely increasing the addressable market for those vehicles. Typically, they last for the life of the vehicle regardless of how many cycles are endured.27 Aug 2013

New record efficiency for dye solar cells
This independently certified efficiency result eclipses all previous certified public records and is now the official world-record for Dye Solar Cell technology performance.14 Jun 2013
Will graphene supercapacitors be the best?
Questions arise as to how much supercapacitors can improve if organisations more like NASA took over. After all, if supercapacitors can replace many batteries when, as today, they store one tenth of their energy, what will happen in the marketplace if they approach the theoretical ten times the lithium-ion battery figure while acting as a near-perfect "battery"?17 May 2013
Opportunities for power electronics in electric vehicles
The day is coming when electric vehicles (EVs) land, water and airborne are as much as 80% electronics and electrics if we include the power components.23 Apr 2013
A new low cost tool for 3D circuit printing?
As a proof of concept the team have shown how the combination of heat and low intensity visible and UV light could in future be used as a precise, low cost tool for 3D printing of self-assembling, thin-film circuits on these films.18 Apr 2013
