Electric vehicles are taking over the automotive market
Without a doubt, the market for electric vehicles is growing rapidly. While we are still in the initial phase there are several signs that the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) market is emerging from its infancy. Figures from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) confirm this; whereas in 2010 the worldwide electric vehicle market was more or less zero, by 2015 over half a million electric cars had been sold - and sales are continu...
EV charging platform built on Ethereum blockchain
Tech Start-Up Charg Coin brings Ethereum blockchain technology to a predicted $11.6tn industry. The Charg app connects Electric Vehicle (EV) frivers with charging station owners to create a secure marketplace for anyone to sell electricity. The platform ICO ends 31st December 2017.
EV charging stations are zooming to Europe
There are more than a few reasons why owning an electric car is desirable.In a world where climate change is a constant concern, owning a vehicle that lowers one's carbon footprint feels like a moral imperative to some.

Running a car on electricity is, simply put, less expensive than r...
Berkeley startup to train robots like puppets
Pieter Abbeel, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, and his students, Peter Chen, Rocky Duan and Tianhao Zhang, have launched a startup, Embodied Intelligence Inc., to use the latest techniques of deep reinforcement learning and artificial intelligence to make industrial robots easily teachable.
100 days to build a battery, or it's free!

Many Twitter users might have thought this when Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, struck a deal with Australian software entrepreneur Mike Cannon-Brookes to build a 100MW (129MWh) lithium battery.The terms of the deal were clear: if Tesla takes more than 100 days to build the wind-charged battery, the state will get it for free.
Pack it in! Memory packaging market growing steadily
The total memory market is expected to increase at a nine percent CAGR 2016-2022, reaching about $135bn by 2022, with DRAM and NAND constituting almost 95% market share. Moreover, a supply-demand mismatch is pushing memory device ASP, resulting in big memory IDMs reaping record profits. According to Yole Développement (Yole), the total 2016 memory packaging market is estimated at about $20bn with a 4.6% CAGR until 2022. Therefore, memory d...
Will the digital future be a let down?
While we have been promised flying cars, living buildings and holographic displays, we may have to be content with 140 characters, Siri and Alexa for some time to come, suggests futurologist Professor William Webb in his latest book, ‘Our Digital Future’.
Brain rewires itself to adjust to advanced prostheses
EPFL scientists from the Center for Neuroprosthetics have used functional MRI to show how the brain re-maps motor and sensory pathways following targeted motor and sensory reinnervation (TMSR), a neuroprosthetic approach where residual limb nerves are rerouted towards intact muscles and skin regions to control a robotic limb.
