Harvest Croo

Harvest Croo was set up in 2013 by a Strawberry grower, Mr Gary Wishnatzki, and a robotic engineer, Mr Robert Pitzer. They have developed robotic strawberry pickers.

Europe expanding hydrogen refuelling infrastructure

Yesterday saw the launch of a second pan-European deployment of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure, and passenger and commercial fuel cell electric vehicles. The six-year H2ME 2 project brings together 37 partners from across Europe.

Labs in NNSA lead the way in 3D printing

Award-winning researchers from NNSA labs have 3D-printed beads to capture carbon dioxide to mitigate climate change, better armor material for warfighters, and even living tissue. NNSA material scientists have found that 3D-printed foam works better than standard materials in durability and long-term mechanical performance.

Very large lithium-ion batteries

Very large lithium-ion battery banks were largely unknown ten years ago. Now, it is tough to keep up with the variety of uses for them.

New nanomaterial offers promise in bendable, wearable electronics

An ultrathin film that is both transparent and highly conductive to electric current has been produced by a cheap and simple method devised by an international team of nano materials researchers.

24m Technologies
