Coreless power solution named finalist at Elektra Awards
European power supply company, Powerbox,has announced its new coreless technology platform to power medical and industrial equipment operating in very high magnetic field environments such as magnetic resonance imaging or particle accelerators has been selected by the prestigious Elektra Awards committee as finalist.
First hydrogen fuel conversion for UK company completed
Specialists in ultra-low emission hydrogen-fuelled commercial vehicles in the UK, ULEMCo has just completed the first hydrogen fuel conversion for a UK commercial waste company. Oxfordshire-based Grundon Waste Management selected ULEMCo to carry out the hydrogen diesel dual-fuel conversion for one of its waste disposal trucks.
Studying invisible magnetic bubbles in outer solar system
Space may seem empty, but it's actually a dynamic place populated with near-invisible matter, and dominated by forces, in particular those created by magnetic fields. Magnetospheres-the magnetic fields around most planets-exist throughout our solar system. They deflect high-energy, charged particles called cosmic rays that are spewed out by the Sun or come from interstellar space. Along with atmospheres, they happen to protect the planets' surfac...
NASA scientists search for exoplanet atmospheres
Some exoplanets shine brighter than others in the search for life beyond the solar system. NASA research proposes a novel approach to sniffing out exoplanet atmospheres. It takes advantage of frequent stellar storms—which hurl huge clouds of stellar material and radiation into space—from cool, young dwarf stars to highlight signs of habitable exoplanets.
Startup acceleration programme launched at Station F
Usine 10 is a Paris-based service offering expertise, network and/or infrastructure for any hardware project looking to accelerate their development. Usine 10 enhances and improves product design strategies from prototyping stages to manufacturing. FOCUS by Usine IO now presents its selection of six innovative and ambitious small companies themed around the autonomous vehicle and connected mobility business.
Lockheed Martin unveils water-powered Mars lander
A reusable, water-powered Mars lander that will allow humans to explore the Red Planet from an orbiting 'base camp' as early as the 2030s was unveiled Friday by US defence giant Lockheed Martin.Governments and private firms are collaborating on projects to send humans to new frontiers, with NASA planning missions next decade into the space between Earth and the Moon to prepare for trips to Mars.
Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays have extragalactic origin
Researchers participating in the Pierre Auger Collaboration, which runs the world’s largest cosmic ray observatory located in Mendoza Province, Argentina, have discovered that, above a certain energy level, these particles are of extragalactic origin.Cosmic rays include some of the most energetic particles in the universe and constantly collide with the Earth’s atmosphere.
Renewables and EVs: Japan and New Zealand compared
According to IDTechEx's latest renewables and EVs: Japan and New Zealand compared report,Japan has very dirty power generation with renewables stuck at around 10% for two decades then rising last year to approach 15%. New Zealand has now powered up from 80-85% renewables feeding its grid - around the figures of Iceland and Norway.
Are EIVs a reality or a wild-eyed dream?
The industry may have to rethink the Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure warns IDTechEx, as multiple energy harvesting leads to Energy Independent electric Vehicles (EIV) range being thousands of kilometres.
3D printing wear resistant parts for harsh environments
Expanding its range of wear-resistant tribo-filaments for 3D printing, igus has introduced the chemical-resistant iglidur C210.The company now offers a total of six different materials that are suitable for printing using the fused deposition modelling (FDM) method. Prototypes and small batches for even more applications - for example in contact with aggressive cleaning agents - can be implemented with this new solution.
