EV Charging Stations Set for Trans-Canada Highway
The Canadian system being developed consists of an energy storage system, using large-format lithium-ion batteries, along with multiple outlet charging units that can be charge several EVs at once.
Smart Toys Minus the Batteries
Frustrated by a mobile device's inability to hold a charge, researchers designed a child’s smart puzzle using a simple, lightweight and flexible Smart Puzzle Triboelectric Nanogenerator (SP-TENG) to both produce and store energy without having to rely on a battery.
How to Select the Right Pump for Your Chemical Application
Chemical pumps are defined as those with the application of making, using or disposing of chemicals. They are designed and constructed out of materials that can withstand substances with varying levels of viscosity, corrosiveness and abrasiveness. Some chemical pumps are also metering pumps, which provide flow measurement and control for applications that require precise volumes of chemicals.
3D Printed Wearable Sensor Monitors Body Temperature in Real Time
Worn over the ear, the device also contains a microphone to allow users to continue to hear normally.
Brighter, Full-Color Holograms Viewed with Low Light
The technology could be used in a range of applications from currency and ID badges to amusement park rides and other entertainment
Programmable Thermostat? Good Device That's Largely Ignored
For those households that use central air conditioning and have a programmable thermostat, more than two-thirds adjust temperatures without programming it.
UK Pilots Want Tougher Drone Regulations
With an uptick in drone-related incidents, the British Airline Pilots Association is calling for tougher drone regulations.
Hackers Guessing at Passwords, PINs Thanks to Headsets
With only a handful of EEG (electroencephalograph) headsets on the market, researchers are calling for improved methods of securing the devices.
