Tesla is an eye-catching company active in clean energy applications - not only pure electric cars, but also home battery systems. With its launch of the Powerwall on 30th April, 2015, and every progress update on its Gigafactory’s building, Tesla has continue to fuel interest in home battery systems. By Dr Xiaoxi He, Technology Analyst, IDTechEx.

Ahead of Bosch and Autoliv, Continental was the leading vendor of electronics for automotive ADAS in 2015. Collectively the top ten vendors accounted for almost 90% of the ADAS market.

Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx, was interviewed yesterday (27th July 2016) by BBC Television World News in a live programme transmitted worldwide. The subject was the opening of the Tesla battery Gigafactory billed as the world's largest factory building. There had been talk in the press of this giving Tesla global battery dominance and even leading to ten times global battery output and the BBC sought reveal the true situation.

It has been a very hotly debated topic in recent years. Could existing EVs, despite their limited driving range, bring about a meaningful reduction in the greenhouse-gas emissions that are causing global climate change? Researchers at MIT have just completed the most comprehensive study yet to address this question and have reached a clear conclusion: Yes, they can.

What a year 2015 was for technology. Apple starting us off with their leap into wearable technology, by launching the Apple Watch in April and then October brought us one step closer to self-driving cars with the launch of Tesla’s semi-autonomous autopilot system.Now half way through 2016, it's likely that your business is looking to replicate 2015's successes and eradicate the chance of failure.

A group of Russian physicists, with the contribution from their Swiss colleagues, developed a way to use the therapeutic effect of heating or cooling the tissues due to the magnetocaloric effect. The article with the results of the work was published in the latest issue of the International Journal of Refrigeration.A team of the Lomonosov Moscow State University scientists proposed a way to use the magnetocaloric effect for the targeted delivery ...

Inventors at Kansas State University and Catalyst Power Technologies are paving the way for the future with energy-efficient batteries for sensors, portable devices and electric cars.Jun Li, professor of chemistry; Steven Klankowski, May 2015 chemistry doctoral graduate, La Crescent, Minnesota; and Ronald A. Rojeski, Catalyst Power Technologies, Santa Clara, California, received a patent for their Li-ion battery anode, including a core-shell hete...

Architectural designer Philip started to develop a superior construction toy for his children, when it unpredictably resulted in the world’s first modular multi-functional robot system. A robot can traditionally handle one task at a time, but it is an unknown area as to happens when the working environment demands multiple tasks.

Researchers at the UCLA Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research have discovered that a metabolic molecule called alpha-ketoglutarate helps pluripotent stem cells mature early in the process of becoming adult organs and tissues. The findings, published online in the journal Cell Metabolism, could be valuable for scientists working toward stem cell–based therapies for a wide range of diseases.

As cars become more connected and with processing power that makes them like computers on wheels, it should really be no surprise that they are now drawing the attention of the hacking community.Steve Rogerson talks to some of the hackers and security experts.
