Getting on that electric highway
When Elon Musk unveiled Tesla’s first electric truck to much fanfare last November, there was talk of this neglected area of the electric vehicle market finally getting some attention. However, for entrepreneur and former submarine commander Asher Bennett, Musk is seriously behind the times.
Making a compelling case for proven clean energy biotechnology
One of the largest ever GWE RAPTOR anaerobic biological transformation energy crop/ waste-to-energy plants is being installed by clean energy specialists Organic Power, at its new green energy facility in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico.When fully operational in mid-2018, it will produce 2.055MWe, making it one of the largest RAPTOR (Rapid Transformation of Organic Residues) installations worldwide and the latest of a series of more than 200 successful GW...
Relays won't melt during reflow soldering
The Excel Cell Electric GQ Series of 1-Pole Reflow Solderable Relays, are now available with THR (Through-Hole Reflow) Technology from New Yorker Electronics. The THR Series Through-Hole Type Electromechanical Relays from Excel Cell Electronic (Goodsky/ECE) now allow the GQ Series to withstand the harsh melting temperatures of the reflow soldering process.
Electric intelligent SUV steals the show at CES 2018
At the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, BYTON debuted its first drivable concept car. With a digital design and human-vehicle interaction, the premium SUV functions as a next-gen smart device, built for the coming era of truly shared, smart mobility and autonomous driving. The new SUV will be manufactured at BYTON’s plant in Nanjing, China. Its price will start at $45,000. The car will be available in China toward...
Enabling communication between cells
A basic structure that allows cells and subcellular units to converse in chemical language turns out to have a lot more abilities than expected. The structure, called a “fusion pore,” allows hormones, chemicals that carry nerve impulses, and proteins produced in containers inside cells to reach their destination.Without fusion pores, multicellular life is difficult to envision, says University of Wisconsin–Madison neuroscientist...
Spider's web inspires removable implant for managing type 1 diabetes
For the more than 1 million Americans who live with type 1 diabetes, daily insulin injections are literally a matter of life and death. And while there is no cure, a Cornell University-led research team has developed a device that could revolutionise management of the disease.
Next-gen integrated stepper motors are silent running
Integrated servo and stepper motor producer, JVL Industri Elektronik, has announced a new generation of the NEMA23 integrated stepper motors.The new motor family, ServoStep, uses the newest technology and the advancement of the previous designs, incorporating customers’ feedback. According to the company, the family has the widest pallet of options in the market and will thus fit into all possible customer applications.
A model for three types of extreme-energy space particles
New model connects the origins of very high-energy neutrinos, ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays, and high-energy gamma rays with black-hole jets embedded in their environments.Oneof the biggest mysteries in astroparticle physics has been the origins of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays, very high-energy neutrinos, and high-energy gamma rays. Now, a new theoretical model reveals that they all could be shot out into space after cosmic rays are accelerated by...
Thermal camera combines accuracy and sensitivity
Including a thermal sensitivity function which is twice as precise that of the industry standard, the FLIR T1030sc combines an extraordinarily sensitive detector with High Definition (HD)-ready optics, the camera detects temperature differences of less than 20mK at 30°C.
How recycling plant managers can improve recovery of electronics
Between 2009 and 2012, the European Union (EU) funded an aptly-titled project called the Recovery of Electronic Waste through Advanced Recycling and Demonstration (REWARD). Although, the project has concluded, electronics recycling and recovery is an ongoing task in many recycling plants. Stephen Harding, Managing Director ofGough Engineering, explains how recycling plant managers can improve electronics recovery and reap the rewards.
