Electric cars, as Mercedes-Benz Chief Dieter Zetsche puts it, need both convincing vehicles and a comprehensive charging infrastructure. Now, a robust charging network is taking shape in order to galvanise the mass consumer adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs).

With a wealth of fascinating technologies being developed specifically for autonomous driving the possibilities are appearing endless, from neural networks to advanced sensors. However, there is a less glamorous technology, which may hold just as much importance, but will not get all the glory- the roads.

The secret ingredients for producing sleek vehicles for years have been common knowledge to only car manufacturers.But now, the wizards from Silicon Valley are eclipsing powerful engines and sleek bodywork with invisible algorithms.Until recently, self-driving cars were no more than pie in the sky. But suddenly, everyone is in a rush. Even legislators, who are generally not known for acting quickly.

At the 36th ESTRO (European Society for Radiotherapy & Oncology) meeting, Elekta introduced Elekta Unity, a MR/RT system that integrates a premium diagnostic quality (1.5 Tesla) MRI scanner with an advanced linear accelerator and intelligent software. Elekta Unity is expected to deliver precisely-targeted radiation doses while simultaneously capturing the highest-quality MR images, which will allow clinicians to visualise tumors at any time a...

Scotland’s Minister for Transport and the Islands, is appearing as a keynote speaker at a packed two day conference programme, which will see over 20 low carbon vehicles form the basis of the first Smart Urban Mobility Solutions (SUMS 2017) conference and exhibition. The event will take place from 10th to 11th May at Glasgow’s Scottish Event Campus (SEC – formerly SECC).

High demand is rapidly depleting oil reserves, making the era of cheap oil a thing of the past. Tesla has shown the world that using alternative sources of energy, combined with increasingly cheap and improving batteries, can solve this problem. In the car-industry, the Tesla Revolution has already begun. A new age of energy is about to make its global debut, and it’s all about clean energy, mainly generated by windmills and solar panels. D...

Artesyn Embedded Technologies has announced a new hyperscale media acceleration server sled based on the CG-OpenRack-19 architecture, which is inspired by rack-scale architectures. Artesyn’s new platform, named the CG19-GPU sled, will be used by carriers to add NVIDIA TeslaP4 processing to their network infrastructure systems.

In its latest power electronics report,Power MOSFET: Market & Technology Trends,Yole Développement (Yole) announced that 'in 2016, the MOSFET market recovered, after a minor downturn in 2015.”With stable growth, mainly in automotive and industrial sales in 2016 the overall silicon power MOSFET market size surpassed 2014’s performance. “We expect the market to grow steadily thanks to increasing demand for efficient ele...

Not so long ago discussions around artificial intelligence in robotics were limited to theoretical ideas and possible applications. But now the existing systems are already capable of taking advantage of advanced AI to help make robotics and automation more efficient.And it doesn’t have to stop at laboratories and research facilities either. Artificial intelligence is already being used in production lines and other practical applications.

The field of battery energy storage is set to grow significantly over the coming years. The question that incumbents, raw materials suppliers, end users, and innovators are all asking themselves is whether Li-ion batteries (LIB) will keep the lion’s share of the market, or whether disruptive innovation will drive technology diversification according to applications.
