AEG Power Solutions announced that it has been chosen by Petronash and another major EPC in two separate contracts, which will secure the power supply for gas process skids in a harsh environment.

A recent study by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has revealed that the transportation sector has the capacity to nearly halve its CO2 emissions by 2050, and thus contribute far more than previously thought to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Realising this would require further efficiency improvement and, particularly, promotion of public transport in cities, alongside a large scale shift to electric cars.

When Clayton Equipment secured the contract from London Underground to convert a fleet of maintenance locomotives from diesel to electric power, it asked EnerSys to supply the motive power batteries. The battery manufacturer supplied cells from its Hawker Perfect Plus range which were assembled into high-performance 210kWh packs to deliver the power needed to support a highly demanding operational requirement.

Haydale has announced that it has recently been awarded a number of research grants, totalling over £450,000. The projects relating to each grant are expected to run for a period of between 18 to 24 months.

Sheets of graphene and other materials that are virtually two-dimensional hold great promise for electronic, optical, and other high-tech applications. But the biggest limitation in unleashing this potential has been figuring out how to make these materials in the form of anything larger than tiny flakes. Now researchers at MIT and elsewhere may have found a way to do so.

Using an innovative 3D printing technology they previously developed, nanoengineers from UC San Diego have manufactured multipurpose fish-shaped microrobots - called microfish - that swim around efficiently in liquids, are chemically powered by hydrogen peroxide and magnetically controlled. According to the researchers, these proof-of-concept synthetic microfish will inspire a new generation of 'smart' microrobots that have diverse capabilities s...

Perovskite PV efficiency gains are double those of organic PV, exciting researchers from KIMM in Korea to Dyesol in Australia. However, it can be like the little girl in the nursery rhyme: 'When she was good she was very, very good and when she was bad she was awful'. Perovoskite PV promises over 20% efficiency, low cost materials and even flexible, transparent and stretchable versions needed for new applications. Record power to weight ratio is ...

BTU International has announced that it will exhibit at HeatTreat2015, ASM’s Heat Treating Society Conference & Exhibition, scheduled to take place 21st - 22nd October, 2015, at the Cobo Convention Center in Detroit, MI, USA. BTU will highlight its controlled atmosphere furnaces in Booth 449.

A team of Harvard scientists and engineers has demonstrated a rechargeable battery that could make storing electricity from intermittently available energy sources (e.g., sun and wind) safe and cost-effective for both residential and commercial use. The research builds on earlier work by members of the same team that could enable cheaper and more reliable electricity storage at the grid level.

A zero-emissions solution to making battery electric vehicles more user-friendly will be the centrepiece of energy technology group, Intelligent Energy’s presence at the 2015 Low Carbon Vehicle (LCV) event, which takes place at Millbrook, UK, from 9th to 10th September.
