British Columbia passes zero emissions vehicles act

The Zero-Emission Vehicles Act means all new light-duty cars and trucks sold in the province will be clean energy vehicles by 2040.

More efficient direct air capture of CO2 for regenerative fuels

Electric cars powered by green electricity or renewable hydrogen will make tomorrow's transportation more climate-friendly. Aircraft and ships, however, are sure to run on hydrocarbon fuels for some time yet.

Dog-like robot jumps, flips and trots

Putting their own twist on robots that amble through complicated landscapes, a team has developed a four-legged robot that is not only capable of performing acrobatic tricks and traversing challenging terrain but is also designed with reproducibility in mind.

3D printed artificial corneas similar to human ones

The existing artificial cornea uses recombinant collagen or is made of chemical substances such as synthetic polymer. Therefore, it does not incorporate well with the eye or is not transparent after the cornea implant.

Increasing energy sources for portable electronics

Scientists have proposed a new approach to replacing carbon atoms with nitrogen atoms in the supercapacitor's crystal lattice and developed a novel capacity enhancement method based on carbon lattice modification with the aid of plasma. Their findings can help create the next generation of power sources for portable electronics.

Navya

Navya develops pure electric, autonomous vehicles.

The future of clean takes shape with advanced robot vacuum and mop

iRobot Corp is launching two new powerful robots that work together in the home.

Expert Analysis On Electric Vehicle & Energy Storage Technologies

Plug-in electric cars are forecast by IDTechEx to sell over 25million units per year in 2029 making up around 30% of total sales by that point. However, electrification does not stop at cars; buses, trucks, construction, mining, two-wheelers, boats, aircraft, and more are all progressing towards electric drive. This combined market shift makes the technologies enabling this transformation a key battleground with plenty to win and lose.

Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation provides anxiety relief

Researchers say it has the potential to revolutionise mental healthcare and could save the health service millions of pounds.

Human-like reasoning for driverless car navigation

With aims of bringing more human-like reasoning to autonomous vehicles, researchers have created a system that uses only simple maps and visual data to enable driverless cars to navigate routes in new, complex environments.

World's largest public bus system transitions to electric vehicles

In line with Governor Anies Baswedan's vision to make Jakarta one of the greenest cities in the world, the Transjakarta Bus Rapid Transit System is rolling out a trial programme of electric buses on certain routes in the city.

Applications for printed electronics in the aviation industry

Today's production and installation of electrical aircraft harnesses is very labour intensive, especially for highly customized cabins.

Flexible generators turn movement into energy

Wearable devices that harvest energy from movement are not a new idea, but a material created at Rice University may make them more practical.

Bringing 3D-printing to the moon

International space agencies and companies are not only planning to further explore, but to colonize space. The moon is of great importance as a research station and starting point for further expeditions. However, the cost of flights and transports to the moon are enormous - a kilogram of loading capacity costs approximately 700,000 Euros. Therefore, infrastructure, components and devices, etc., would at best be manufactured directly on the Earth's satellite.

Injection molded structural electronics

TactoTek transforms how electronics are designed and produced with injection molded structural electronics.

New Electric Vehicle Motors Grab Sales

Huge companies make traction motors for electric vehicles. After all, as the IDTechEx report, "Electric Motors for Electric Vehicles: Land, Water, Air 2019-2029" details, every EV has at least one traction motor and increasingly they have many, including one electric aircraft with no less than 36.
