Audi plans to sell 800,000 electrified cars in 2025

Audi aims to sell approximately 800,000 fully electric cars and plug-in hybrids in the year 2025. To enable about every third customer to decide in favor of an e-model by the middle of the next decade, there is to be an electrified variant in each model series by then - most of them are to be fully electric, with a smaller proportion as plug-in hybrids.

Drawing closer to people combining robot technology and AI

Robots are starting to help make our lives more enjoyable and convenient in everyday situations. An example is a service using robots in business, in a hospital, where robots use gestures and speech to guide people who are having trouble with automated reception machines. What allows this to happen is the robots communication skills, in particular its use of emotional expressions.

Validation of wearable technology for dogs

Animal Dermatology Group announces a new publication validating the ability of a wearable device to assess itching and scratching behaviors.

3-D printing of weapons threatens security

While advances in additive manufacturing offer potential breakthroughs in prosthetic arms or jet engine parts, 3D printing, as it is known, may also accelerate weapons proliferation.

Increasing silicon photovoltaic efficiency

At ICREN Barcelona, April 2018, Dr Wilhelm Warta (Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE) noted that reducing the cost of electricity from PV calls for increasing the conversion efficiency of solar cells.

Nanosys Ltd

We caught up with Nanosys in May 2018. Here is a summary of their progress.

Graphene commercialization: Moving out of the lab and into the market?

In this article we will review the latest progress in graphene commercialization and will provide our insights and forecasts about the medium- as well as the long-term future of this industry. This analysis is drawn from our recently updated report Graphene, 2D Materials and Carbon Nanotubes: Markets, Technologies and Opportunities 2018-2028. This long-standing and comprehensive report covers graphene, carbon nanotubes and non-graphene 2D materials.

Solid state electrolyte for batteries

Solid state electrolytes have attracted tremendous attentions in recent years due largely to their commercial applications for highly safe energy storage and large energy storage devices.

Fast e-vehicle chargers put Iceland on road to energy sustainability

Iceland is implementing an ambitious plan to increase the adoption of renewable energy, with incentives to promote electric vehicles.

Amazing Innovations in Flexible and Printed Electronics

If your company serves the electronics industry you owe it to yourself and your company to explore your opportunities at Printed Electronics USA - the world's largest event dedicated to printed, flexible and hybrid electronics and all its applications.

Solar-Plus-Sharp SmartStorage® Microgrids installed in Santa Rita

The solar PV plus SmartStorage energy storage systems have been installed at six sites within the Santa Rita Union School District in Salinas, California. The systems will provide up to seven hours of power at each school during a grid outage and will also offset the school's energy and demand usage resulting in substantial savings on its utility bills.

The first wireless flying robotic insect takes off

Insect-sized flying robots could help with time-consuming tasks like surveying crop growth on large farms or sniffing out gas leaks. These robots soar by fluttering tiny wings because they are too small to use propellers, like those seen on their larger drone cousins. Small size is advantageous: These robots are cheap to make and can easily slip into tight places that are inaccessible to big drones.

Miniaturised gas sensors open new markets

There is an increasing demand for monitoring environmental air conditions both indoors and outdoors, as poor air quality is a growing threat to the public health.

Researcher develops a new generation of graphene

The material graphene has many incredible properties, but to date it has been difficult to use on a large scale in industry, because it loses its unique properties and goes back to its origin graphite. A researcher has developed a new form of graphene that can solve the problem.

Plans for Long-Term Clinical Trial for walkasins

RxFunction Inc has announced plans to conduct its first long-term clinical trial of walkasins®, the walk2Wellness study.

Optimising management of microgrids

Guillermo Domínguez, Catalonia Institute for Energy Research said that future power systems with high penetration of renewable generation and ICT will facilitate better controllability and observability of the grid. However, new challenges for low voltage distribution networks have arisen where the increasing distributed generation is mainly PV installed on the roofs of buildings.
