Researchers at the University of Colorado are developing low-cost, high-performance, aqueous flow battery technology that potentially will lead to scalable grid-level storage for wind and solar energy. They use chromium – which is abundant in […]
The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded separate $1.6 million contracts to Raytheon BBN Technologies Corp. and Signature Science LLC for the development of new kinds of biological sensors that can detect […]
Researchers at the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) in Vladivostok, Russia have developed a multi-purpose sensor based on a gold film containing millions of parabolic nano-antennae. The sensor is capable of identifying trace molecules in […]
OneWeb, a London-based space startup, has announced its first official commercial service – a “fiber-like” internet to the Arctic region from 2020 with plans to be the first to provide 100% coverage to the region. […]
Researchers at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia are proposing the use of floating microgrids made up of electric boat motors, renewable energy, and controls to help power islands after disasters. “Powering […]
The US Department of Energy (DOE) awarded General Motors (GM) a total of $9.1 million as part of its 2019 fiscal year award funds – $2 million of which is explicitly related to research and […]
A team of researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed flexible high-performance sensors that can be applied to irregular or flexible surfaces such as clothing or skin. They developed a […]
NanoGraf Corporation – formerly SiNode Systems – has been awarded a $7.5 million technology development contract from The United States Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC) for the commercialization of high-energy anode materials. USABC is a subsidiary […]
Technical advisory services firm American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Google Cloud, and Ukrainian software company SoftServe have completed a pilot project using artificial intelligence models to detect corrosion and coating breakdown on ships and offshore […]
The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) is launching a new microgrid research facility – the new Center for Grid Innovation in NAIT’s Productivity and Innovation Centre, a 17,650 square meter facility which includes advanced […]
