Applying the physics principle of radiative sky cooling, a team was able to harvest a small but useful amount of energy from the cool night sky using a simple, low-cost, non-critical...
This lithium battery, developed by Carnegie Mellon researchers, uses a semi-liquid, metal-based lithium anode that prevents hazardous dendrite formation found on anodes using ...
By using a plasma created by high voltage moving across a wing’s surface, researchers devised and tested a technique for deicing aircraft wings that doesn’t rely on diverted engine...
A new cathode implementation for lithium-sulfur batteries uses a hybrid of materials and fabrication techniques, greatly improving weight and energy density specifications versus...
Now becoming available for large wind-turbine systems are less expensive, lightweight, and higher-performing alternatives to the low-speed, rare-earth permanent-magnet direct-...
Researchers developed a friction-based transducer comprised of liquid metal and a polymer-layer sandwich that can harvest energy of low-frequency motion, such as from a body.
This brushless synchronous doubly-fed electric machine system is less expensive but more robust and higher performing than its rare-earth permanent-magnet counterpart.
Paul Rako had the opportunity to tour Kansas State University’s “TRIGA” nuclear reactor, which serves an educational facility for students and researchers alike.
The industry needs a robust qualification strategy that allows manufacturers to demonstrate their devices can provide a high level of reliability. Infineon came up with a four...
