Printing large batteries
170 years ago, Faraday appreciated the different electrical properties of nano gold over bulk metal in electrical devices, so applying nanotechnology to these things is scarcely new. However, the huge sums now being applied to improvement of lithium traction batteries in particular are now leading to work on a much larger scale and thin film technology, nanotechnology and printing are in increasingly important part of this.11 Mar 2010
Lithium vehicle traction batteries and harvesting
The conference of about 40 people "Lithium Battery Technology and System Development" in London 9 March 2010 was concerned with "breaking barriers for electric vehicles".5 Mar 2010
The glamorous world of energy harvesting
Energy harvesting is the use of ambient energy to create electricity for small or mobile equipment and it started with such things as the bicycle dynamo and the piezoelectric gas lighter.4 Mar 2010
Electric Vehicles - China vs Japan
The Western media debate at length the transformation of the Western automotive industry. However, the real battle of the titans is taking place in East Asia. It concerns electric vehicles, both hybrid and pure electric, and a much bigger picture, because these manufacturers ...5 Feb 2010
Spray-on glass - the world's most versatile new technology?
It's not just Hollywood stars hitting the cream carpet. A new coating of invisible glass sprayed on your cream carpet could make that French Beaujolais easy to clean with just water.29 Jan 2010
Electric vehicles - seeing the big picture
Energy harvesting is being widely considered and used for electric vehicles. The burgeoning electric vehicle EV industry cannot be understood by simply looking at cars. The complete market value is, and will remain, about double the market for cars.28 Jan 2010
Electric Vehicles - Seeing the Big Picture
The burgeoning electric vehicle EV industry cannot be understood by simply looking at cars. The complete market value is, and will remain, about double the market for cars. The leaders such as Toyota, Honda and Nissan make electric vehicles for many applicational sectors.2009

How to improve lithium traction batteries
Dependence on increasingly troublesome oil supplies and rapid degradation of the environment provide every reason why electric cars, whether hybrid or pure electric, should now be adopted rapidly.22 Sep 2009
Cars with thermoelectric and other harvesting
There is now consensus that hybrid and pure electric cars will be the fastest growing sector of the car business for the next twenty years. Analysts and manufacturers project 15-20% of cars made in 2020 being electric.14 Sep 2009
The battery is the car
Plug in hybrid electric cars are now prioritised by most major car manufacturers. Pure electric on- road cars are prioritised by Nissan and a host of vibrant start up companies, they have one thing in common. The cleverest, most expensive part of their planned vehicles is increasingly the traction battery.11 Aug 2009
Motoring without the gas station
Hybrid cars are a great success. In addition, pure electric cars are at last moving beyond the golf car and neighbourhood vehicle stage with serious volumes beginning to be sold.23 Jul 2009
Energy harvesting volume driven by cars
In all forms of electric vehicle, power management is key and any form of energy harvesting is welcome. The modern car will therefore increasingly use regenerative braking, solar panels outside and maybe energy harvesting shock absorbers as well.4 Jun 2009
Advanced flexible OLEDs closer to mass market
The Flexible Display Center (FDC) at Arizona State University and Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ: PANL), has introduced the first a-Si:H active matrix flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display to be manufactured directly on DuPont Teijin's polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate.19 May 2009
Hybrid and pure electric cars - the next ten years
Some of the new electric cars generate at least some of their electric power from solar cells on the vehicle - In future, they may generate electricity in part from shock absorbers, transparent solar cells over windows and thermoelectrically from the engine and exhaust in hybrid.
