  • New LSZH and PVC, USB 3.0 cables with ferrite beads

    Cable assemblies with ferrite beads prevent interference from or to a connected device and help to reduce electromagnetic interference from either being radiated by or received by a cable.

  • Video: Seismic noise falls globally as air quality and solar energy gain during the COVID-19 pandemic

    During the global lockdowns, air quality and solar energy output have improved while seismic noise has lowered.

  • Soft but solid electrolyte extends lithium battery life

    A new battery chemistry combines ceramics and polymers to ward off the formation of dendrites, which undermine the performance and operating life of lithium metal batteries.

  • Watch: Spinal cord stimulators restore sensory feedback to prostheses

    Commercially available spinal cord stimulators commonly used to treat chronic pain restored natural sensations for prosthetic arm users.

  • Microgrid to power Pittsburgh International Airport

    The system will pair five natural gas-fired generators with nearly 7,800 solar panels to supply 23 MW, exceeding the facility's peak demand of 14 MW.

  • New turbines tested for Swiss hydropower plant upgrade

    Two Pelton turbines, each up to 60 MW capacity and with a 60 MW storage pump, were successfully tested as part of the refurbishment project.

  • Video: Online tool supports environmentally sound wind system siting

    An interactive map provides a tool for avoiding conflicts between wind system siting and wildlife habitat protection in the central U.S.

  • Video: Integration of hybrid electric drive into a combat vehicle under US Army contract

    Integration of a hybrid electric drive onto a Bradley Fighting Vehicle is planned to increase vehicle efficiency and boost power generation.

  • Solar flow battery teams with tandem cells

    High-efficiency perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells combine with aqueous organic redox flow batteries to form a high-performance, stable solar flow battery device.

  • Putting pressure on perovskite solar cells

    Compression was demonstrated to improve perovskite solar cell stability against photoinduced halide segregation.

  • Longer lithium-ion battery life with new cathode coating

    The new polymer coating enhances battery performance by facilitating lithium ion and electron transport in and out of the cathode.

  • Researchers give biofuel production effluents a jolt

    An electrochemical oxidation process demonstrated to efficiently remediate these effluents may also be applicable in the pharmaceutical and pulp and paper industries.

  • UL plans new wire and cable training in the virtual classroom

    Three virtual classroom training workshops are aimed at delivering firsthand industry and technical training to customers and stakeholders worldwide.

  • Waterproof USB 3.0 cable assemblies enable harsh environment connectivity

    New waterproof USB cable assemblies are USB 3.0 compliant and feature a waterproof, panel/enclosure mount connector on one end of the assembly.

  • Video: Battery initiative to boost UK rail service

    A joint venture will produce battery packs to advance rail electrification and also offer domestic production of batteries for the automotive and construction sectors.

  • Watch: Students design an electric motorbike

    The superbike includes a 17 kWh oil-cooled battery and a powertrain capable of delivering 150 kW and 400 Nm of torque at an estimated top speed of 160 mph.

  • Silicon Line launches HDMI 2.1 active optical cable modules sampling program

    The sampling program is expected to provide an opportunity for cable manufacturers and partners to accelerate their time to market.

  • Liquid fuel cell design outperforms hydrogen-powered technology

    A high-power direct borohydride fuel cell was demonstrated to operate at double the voltage of conventional hydrogen fuel cells.

  • SPI, ESI and North America Smart Energy Week heads outdoors to Las Vegas this October

    The renewable energy industry event will provide an experience that is safe for all stakeholders and will include virtual options for attendees who cannot safely participate in person.

  • Million-mile battery could end the internal combustion engine
