Researchers at the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Center (AMRC) have developed a lightweight fuel tank for small-scale satellites. MiniTANK is a joint effort involving the AMRC and Oxford-based Added Value Solutions (AVS) UK […]
Researchers at Binghamton University have designed a biosolar cell that generates electricity using two types of bacteria: one is photosynthetic and the other uses the nutrients it creates. This symbiotic relationship can provide a four-day […]
Researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden have developed a proton battery based on abundant organic materials. Though lithium-ion batteries are expected to remain the favored solution for energy storage, the potential for alternate battery types […]
Researchers from the Skoltech Center for Energy Science and Technology (CEST) in Russia have created a new cathode material based on titanium fluoride phosphate which has achieved superior energy performance and stable operation at high […]
The European Commission has approved €3.2B (~$3.5B US) of state aid to help fund new research and innovation in battery technology. The entire project is expected to be completed in 2031 and is expected to […]
Researchers at Iowa State University and the University of California at Berkeley have developed new nanoscale sensing technology to image and measure the stresses and strains on materials under high pressures. Their paper, “imaging stress […]
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. […]
