Smarter battery tech knows whether your EV will make it home
Current battery management systems might report a car is 40% charged but drivers have to guess whether they can go 100 kilometers over hills with the heater running. Engineers at the University of California, Riverside want to take the guesswork out of it.

Self-tuning energy device turns vibrations into power
Researchers at National Taiwan University developed a new device that captures energy from vibrations more efficiently. Its self-adjusting mechanism enables resonance with environmental frequencies, resulting in higher power output across a broader operational range.

Pro-cycling crashes can be bad, but evidence suggests slower bikes aren't the answer
It might seem counterintuitive in a sport built around speed, but the world governing body for competitive cycling wants to slow elite riders down.

Powering a path to Mars with reactor test bed
Nuclear energy is a leading option to power space exploration, but its success depends on reactors that can operate autonomously rather than relying on human operators in space.

🦾 Simplified wrist mechanism gives robots a hand

Simplified wrist mechanism gives robots a hand
Give robots a specific job—say, placing a can on a conveyor belt in a factory—and they can be extremely efficient. But in less-structured environments with varied tasks, even seemingly simple things like unscrewing a light bulb or turning a door handle, things get a lot trickier.

Floating platform to produce synthetic fuels using wind, seawater, and air
Off-grid, modular, and seaworthy: KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and partners intend to produce synthetic fuels on a floating platform using wind energy, seawater, and ambient air. For this purpose, the "PtX-Wind" project was launched under the H2Mare lead project. A corresponding modular plant was installed on a barge and lies operational at anchor in Bremerhaven. Later this year, it will start producing synthetic fuel directly on the sea just off Helgoland Island.
