A new research project focusing on technology to develop lightweight vehicles will be led by Professor Ken Kendall from the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), a department at the University of Warwick, UK. The project – […]
Researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Rochester, NY have developed a practical and inexpensive method of preventing fires in damaged or improperly packaged lithium-ion batteries. “In a lithium-ion battery, a […]
Dr. Jan Schnitker has co-founded a startup called ‘Is It Fresh’ – a spin-off from the Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH – to introduce smart, low-cost chip and sensor technology into the world of packaging. ‘Is It […]
Engineers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have developed a flexible quadcopter drone. Unlike other drones which are based on the principles of origami, these quadcopters were also inspired by the […]
Researchers at MIT have developed microscopic chemical sensors that can be sprayed as an aerosol mist. Spray-able sensors could someday be used to detect gas leaks, pollution from power plants, volatile organic compounds, and other […]
The Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam – home to the Dutch national football team AFC Ajax – is demonstrating the potential use of second-life batteries. Second-life batteries have been removed after a first life in […]
Increasingly, the construction industry is taking advantage of a connected ecosystem to make their job-sites smarter by the use of IoT and sensors. Three areas serve as examples where sensors are building a connected network […]
Researchers at the University of Maryland, the U.S. Army Research Lab, and Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new battery cathode material that is expected to triple the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. The ability […]
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory have discovered a method for improving the energy efficiency of lithium ion batteries. The researchers bombarded graphite in an ultra-high vacuum environment with ions to create […]
Researchers at MIT have developed an ingestible sensor equipped with genetically engineered bacteria, that can diagnose bleeding in the stomach or other gastrointestinal problems. Called a “bacteria-on-a-chip”, the technology combines sensors made from living cells […]
