Leading scientists describe the automotive future
By 2050, if emission targets set by governments are to be met, most vehicles will need to be electrically propelled, with an on-board battery or hydrogen fuel cell, concludes the expert team responsible for 'Towards Sustainable Road Transport'. As senior research chemists who have spent their professional careers working in the fields of energy and electrochemistry, the trio of scientists describe the growth and technical development of road vehi...
Cloud based tools used to develop hydrogen fuel cell car
Riversimple has chosen to use Cadonix’s Arcadia cloud based tools to develop the first road-going version of it’s hydrogen fuel cell powered car. Schematic design, animated circuit simulation and analysis, electrical networking and harness design are provided by the Arcadia CAD. For wire harness layout and manufacture, the easy to use tool also offers full design rule checking.
High-performance pyroelectric detectors with DLaTGS
The basic material of pyroelectric detectors with the highest performance level is DLaTGS (Deuterated and L-alanine-doped TriGlycine Sulfate). The D* of DLaTGS is typically 2.5 times higher than in LiTaO3 detectors. DLaTGS detectors have a high detectivity, even at high frequencies, and a wide spectral sensitivity range from UV to THz wavelengths that is only limited by the detector window used.
Partnership seeks to 'drive' engineering students
Altair has been chosen as a strategic software partner for Cranfield University’s Advanced Motorsport Engineering course. The partnership hopes to teach progressive simulation techniques to students who are aspiring to lead the next generation of motorsport teams at companies such as Mercedes AMG, Red Bull Technology, Lotus F1, McLaren F1, Sauber F1, Williams F1, Caterham F1, Marussia F1, and Sahara Force India.
