  • Training for rooftop PV installation via video

    Video-based training materials cover rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment.

  • 60 A micro-sized FlexPro servo drives from Advanced Motion Controls

    The small size is perfect for autonomous mobile robots, automated guided vehicles, portable devices, lab and warehouse automation and any other integrated design.

  • Self-repairing cells improve battery life and EV performance

    The system identifies underperforming cells and temporarily takes them out of service for repair without loss of electric vehicle (EV) performance.

  • Video: The case for batteries in rail service

    Viable applications range from the replacement of polluting diesel propulsion in freight systems to the provision of emergency power supplies at railroad crossings.

  • DVIGear introduces HyperLight mini DisplayPort 1.4 cables

    The cables are designed for use in mission critical applications where image quality and long-term reliability are paramount.

  • Resins feature flame retardancy and impact resistance for EV battery modules

    The resins address key requirements for electric vehicle (EV) batteries for improved safety, range and power with enhanced flame retardancy and impact strength.

  • Consent-based siting program revived for spent nuclear fuel

    The U.S. Department of Energy has issued a request for information on a consent-based siting process that would be used to identify sites to store the nation’s spent nuclear fuel.

  • Tape keeps the lead inside perovskite solar cells

    The transparent film mitigates the environmental risk posed by the release of lead if a perovskite panel is damaged.

  • New flow battery tech for large-scale renewable energy storage

    Technology developed by Honeywell works with renewable generation sources to meet the demand for sustainable energy storage.

  • First US cable plant to supply the offshore wind sector

    High-voltage subsea cables up to 525 kV DC and 400 kV AC, covering the range of needed products for export cables for offshore wind and subsea interconnectors, will be manufactured.

  • Single pair Ethernet system makes buildings smarter

    The first complete single pair Ethernet system on the market has been launched by Switzerland-based R&M.

  • CABLE competition to advance conductive material R&D

    The CABLE Prize provides funding and technical assistance to advance new ideas that can enable U.S. manufacturers of cables and electrical equipment to leapfrog to next-generation conductive materials.

  • KSTAR beats its own fusion plasma record

    The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy has set a new fusion plasma temperature record by operating its tokamak device at 100 million° C for 30 seconds.

  • Watch an electric autonomous cargo ship set sail

    Without emissions and soon to be without a crew, the world’s first electric and self-propelled container ship has completed its maiden voyage.

  • Help NASA bring nuclear power to the Moon

    Industry partners are sought to design nuclear power system for lunar applications.

  • Watch the world’s fastest electric aircraft

    The Spirit of Innovation achieved a maximum speed of 623 km/h (387.4 mph), making it the world’s fastest all-electric vehicle.

  • Supercapacitors as energy storage devices

    These electrochemical energy storage systems offer scope to resolve power crises and minimize pollution.

  • New molten salt battery keeps its cool

    Cooler operating temperatures permit use of less expensive materials and insulation in a design that eliminates the risk of thermal runaway.

  • Quantum material pushes electrons to the limit

    Until these discoveries, scientists were unable to fully test the extreme quantum limit’s physics because of the level of difficulty. This could bring huge advancements to quantum computing.

  • Report: A sunny outlook for renewable energy sector employment

    About 12 million people were employed in the renewable energy sector, directly and indirectly, in 2020.
