New battery technology offers unprecedented performance
Battery technology has changed little for many years but new technologies are emerging - now one has arrived, it’s making waves and is called Lead Crystal. Recently launched in the UK, the Lead Crystal Battery utilises a new, patented technology to provide a battery that performs unlike any other available.
Supercapacitors Gain Ascendancy
Life is good for supercapacitors manufacturers and developers. That includes those involved in the intermediate product, the supercabattery or Asynchronous Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitor (AEDLC) with its higher energy density achieved in a compromise of other operational parameters intermediate between supercapacitors and batteries, notably the supercabattery called a lithium-ion capacitor.
Future Outlook For The Automatic Sector
Hydrocarbons, sulphur oxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate emissions from vehicle exhausts are responsible for numerous environmental issues, including air quality challenges, such as smog and acid rain, as well as a number of detrimental health effects. With the 2020 deadline for reducing the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions by 20% drawing closer and the need for increasing the usage of lower carbon and renewable energy, the automotive industry...
Oxford Instruments X-Ray Technology Helps NASA Find Life On Mars
Scientists are in the process of confirming that there was once life on Mars - with the help of an Oxford Instruments X-Ray Technology product. Using a drill on its robotic arm, NASA’s Curiosity rover recently collected a second rock sample for analysis by its onboard Chemistry and Mineralogy instrument (CheMin). Researchers expect to confirm preliminary findings from the first drilling in February, which indicate that the red planet was once f...
