For anyone who cares about the ongoing impact that the consumption of fossil fuels is having on our environment - yet still needs a constantly charged power hungry smartphone - the JAQ charger from myFC looks to be the ideal solution.Widely talked about last week at MWC in Barcelona and due to be launched later this year, JAQ uses a slim 'power card' that contains water and salt.

SCHOTT has expanded its design portfolio of TO packages for the 10Gb/s range to suit high-frequency, actively cooled applications. SCHOTT's latestTEC TO package enables the development of high-speed data transfer in the telecomms and datacomms markets and suits 10Gb/s laser diodes that require a ThermoElectric Cooler (TEC), enabling its application in middle to long distances.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is both a greenhouse gas and essential to life (photosynthesis). It is used to make drinks as well as in a huge range of industrial and commercial processes such as welding, oil production, electronics, paper making, steel manufacture, water treatment and even in the theatre. The problem is that it is also very good at getting into places you don't want it to be, and out of places you do. Not through leakage - but through bec...

Whilst showcasing its Switched-Reluctance (SR) motor-generator technology at the SAE 2015 Hybrid & Electric Vehicles Technologies Symposium, Controlled Power Technologies (CPT) witnessed an growing interest in 48V mild hybrid vehicles.

Launches of fuel cell cars are reportedly planned by up to six carmakers from 2015, including Tata Motors of India, owners of Jaguar Land Rover. Hydrogen fuel cells are portrayed as pivotal in creating success for pure electric cars but the truth is very different. More is explained in the latest IDTechEx report,Future Technology for Hybrid and Pure Electric Cars 2015-2025.

Helping industry unlock graphene’s potential, 2-DTech has embarked upon research which it says could have a huge impact on the effectiveness of electronics in industry. 2-DTech, a spin-off from the University of Manchester (where graphene was first isolated), has secured a £100,000 Innovate UK grant to finance a long term project, aiming to find ways to improve anti-corrosive coatings by incorporating graphene.

An IDTechEX report has recently been released, which forecasts the growing market for EVsin 37 categories of land, water and airborne e-vehicle, and predicts that electric buses will replace five million conventional buses in Asia.There are two types of these buses - one set not requiring plugging in, which will be found outside of East Asia, whilst East Asia will pay host to the other types - PHEVs and PEVs.

Increasing oil extraction pressures and temperatures, aggressive chemicals and rapid gas decompression (RGD) in new, more difficult drilling sites are creating operating environments beyond the capabilities of most elastomers. DuPont Kalrez 0090 (K-312 “A” O-rings) perfluoroelastomer sealing parts, however, were developed to provide enhanced rapid gas decompression resistance in aggressive environments and have received the industry b...

London South Bank University is the number one London modern university for world leading and internationally excellent research in engineering, according to the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014.LSBU, which focusses on applied research to address real world challenges, emerged as London's top modern university for ‘General Engineering’ research, with the majority of its projects given either a 4 (world-leading)- or 3 (internat...

Diesel-to-hydrofuel converted vehicles have been verified as achieving the definitions of ultra-low status by the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA). Ford Transit vans retrofitted with ULEMCo’s hydrogen gas system achieved 59g/km CO2under test, representing a 70% reduction on the unconverted equivalent vehicle. Tailpipe emissions also showed a 40% reduction in harmful NOx.
