For a long time, it was thought that smart charging required the charging point to be made ‘smart’. However, the significant growth of smart charging – including in Europe – lies in car connectivity. This creates the best and most logical user experience and makes a fleet of EVs grid-responsive.

Carcinogenic effects of long-term exposure from prenatal life to glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides in Sprague–Dawley rats - Environmental Health
Background Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are the world’s most widely used weed control agents. Public health concerns have increased since the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen in 2015. To further investigate the health effects of glyphosate and GBHs, the Ramazzini Institute launched the Global Glyphosate Study (GGS), which is designed to test a wide range of toxicological outcomes. Reported here are the results of the…

Bipolar surface charging by evaporating water droplets
Surface charging is a ubiquitous phenomenon with important consequences. On one hand, surface charging underpins emerging technologies such as triboelectric nanogenerators; on the other, uncontrolled charging can damage delicate nanostructures and devices. Despite its significance, surface charging by evaporating water droplets remains poorly understood. Here, using Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy, we spatially resolve the surface-charge patterns from evaporating droplets and propose a physical m…

That seems a bit far-fetched: £211 a year in savings would supposedly see 49% of people switch to EVs. The headline is missing the word 'sooner', as well as information on how much sooner.

Public charging VAT cut would see 49% switch to EVs
Half (49%) of UK drivers would switch to EVs sooner if public charging carried the same VAT rate as charging at home.

Crossing numbers of dense graphs on surfaces
In this paper, we provide upper and lower bounds on the crossing numbers of dense graphs on surfaces, which match up to constant factors. First, we prove that if $G$ is a dense enough graph with $m$ edges and $Σ$ is a surface of genus $g$, then any drawing of $G$ on $Σ$ incurs at least $Ω\left(\frac{m^2}{g} \log ^2 g\right)$ crossings. The poly-logarithmic factor in this lower bound is new even in the case of complete graphs and disproves a conjecture of Shahrokhi, Székely and Vrt'o from 19…

A Topic Modeling Analysis of Stigma Dimensions, Social, and Related Behavioral Circumstances in Clinical Notes Among Patients with HIV
Objective: To characterize stigma dimensions, social, and related behavioral circumstances in people living with HIV (PLWHs) seeking care, using natural language processing methods applied to a large collection of electronic health record (EHR) clinical notes from a large integrated health system in the southeast United States. Methods: We identified 9,140 cohort of PLWHs from the UF Health IDR and performed topic modeling analysis using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to uncover stigma dimen…

🇬🇧 EV charging hubs may now be signposted from major A-roads, helping (prospective) EV drivers to find the rapidly growing number of these chargers.
More financial support is available for:
HDV depot charging
NHS electrification
Councils will be supported in providing cross-pavement charging.
