Concentrated Solar Energy to Exceed 1000 Degrees Celsius

Heliogen has concentrated solar energy to exceed temperatures greater than 1,000 degrees Celsius. At that temperature, Heliogen can replace the use of fossil fuels in critical industrial processes, including the production of cement, steel, and petrochemicals, dramatically reducing greenhouse gas emissions from these activities.

The Importance of Waste-to-Energy Solutions

Our world is dealing with a crisis — mountains and mountain of waste. At the same time, the worry of fuel shortages is also rising. Can the two issues be combated together?

99.977% Purity from Recycled Lithium-ion Battery Material

The next steps involve shipment of high purity recycled material back to the tier-one companies for analysis and confidential technical discussion regarding the recycling process.

3D Printing Keeps Trains Running

Stratasys announced its Rail Industry Solution to help passenger trains - from long-haul to urban metros - run on time more frequently and potentially save thousands of euros a day.

Making Tiny Antennas for Wearable Electronics

When it comes to electronics, bigger usually isn't better. This is especially true for a new generation of wearable communication systems that promise to connect people, machines and other objects in a wireless "internet of things." To make the devices small and comfortable enough to wear, scientists need to miniaturize their components.

Perovskite Solar Cells Can Capture More Electricity

Scientists have developed a method to analyse which pairs of materials in next-generation perovskite solar cells will harvest the most energy.

Commercial-Grade Autonomous Vacuum Sweeper

Whiz can record up to 600 cleaning routes, for which staff teach the robot the initial floor cleaning route upon their first use. Subsequently, routes are stored in Whiz so it can repeat the cleaning route autonomously on its own. Through cloud data visualization, cleaning and status reports on Whiz can be gathered and analyzed.
