Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had its fair share of negative media coverage in recent months. As the technology becomes increasingly sophisticated and moves more to the fore in our daily lives, so the doomsayers have turned up the volume when warning of the dangers of machine intelligence.

Plessey has announced the opening of a new 2MW behind the meter (BTM) battery storage solution installed at its flagship manufacturing and R&D site in Plymouth, Devon. The project was completed by KiWi Power.This project follows KiWi Power’s success in building two other BTM battery storage systems in the UK. The company is targeting an extensive roll-out of similar BTM projects for high energy users particularly in the commercial and i...

An electric vehicle or a hybrid is a good choice for drivers who value fuel efficiency and eco-friendliness.The right tyre choicecan extend the car’s range, emphasise the best features ofthe electric vehicle and improve safety. A well maintained tyre will offer power and safety mile after mile with aneven 50% longer lifespan.

From the first satellites fired into orbit to man’s first triumphant step on the moon, the idea of space travel has sparked imaginations across the globe for decades.Now, the very same launch pad at the Kennedy Space Centre that once saw Apollo 11 soar for the moon recently launched a rocket to truly signal the next generation of space travel - Space X. Whereas once there were a handful of nations competing to reach the stars, now there are...

UPS and ARRIVAL are working together to developapilot fleet of 35 electric delivery vehicles (EVs) to be trialed in London and Paris.These zero tailpipe emission, lightweight composite vehicles have a battery range of more than 150 miles (240km), which is higher than other EVs currently in service. The vehicles will also come equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that help to improve safety and reduce driver fatigue.

The global automobile industry, currently worth $3.5 trillion in annual revenues, could face four concurrent disruptive threats, according to GlobalData. These four include: the connected car, autonomous driving technology, electric vehicle technology and transport-as-a-service. Overthe next five years, the auto industry is due for a radical reset as these unfolding industry mega-trends dislocate its legacy supply and value chains and reallocate ...

Wide band-gap devices have yet to break into the EV market in a meaningful way, but the stage is set for them to become the technology of choice as they drop in cost and demonstrate the performance and reliability needed. ByAnup Bhalla, VP Engineering at UnitedSiC.

Manufacturer of soft-magnetic materials, inductive components and filter systems,SMP Sintermetalle Prometheus is presenting EMC filters with high frequency stability for power electronic applications. The materials have been developed by SMP especially for this application and are now effective for frequencies up to the gigaHertz range. The new EMC filters will be exhibited alongside the familiar inductive components at this year’s PCIM in ...

A UPSled consortium has deployed a radical new charging technology in London that overcomes the challenge of simultaneously recharging an entire fleet of EVs without the need for the expensive upgrade to the power supply grid. The breakthrough signals the beginning of the end of a reliance upon traditional combustion engine powered vehicles by allowing UPS to increase the number of EVs operating from its central London site from the current limit...

The release of Ready Player One this past weekend is a significant moment for the Virtual Reality industry. Ernest Cline's bestselling science fiction adventure will achieve a Spielberg-fueled launch to new heights of popular culture fame. It describes a world where living in the virtual reality of the OASIS becomes preferable to living within a dystopian future society riddled by war and energy crises.
