University of British Columbia (UBC) engineers have used polymeric scrap tire fibers (STF) to develop a more resilient type of concrete that could be used for concrete structures such as buildings, roads, dams and bridges, while reducing landfill waste. The research has received support from IC-IMPACTS; Tire Stewardship B.C., Onuaguluchi, O.

In 2017, Momentum Technologies licensed ORNL’s 3D-printed magnet technology and plans to produce the first 3D-printed magnet made from recycled materials. It’s an improvement over traditional processes, which require facilities with a large footprint, high capital and operating costs and a large amount of waste generated.

The first hydrogen TTO is focused on durable, high activity electrocatalyst with low platinum content and low cost for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell applications. Conventional polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology requires high content of platinum electrocatalyst, which raises manufacturing costs.

Any whisper of production bottlenecks at Tesla inevitably recalls the Model 3's troubled launch in 2017 and 2018 , the one that had Musk sleeping in his office. Each jelly-roll cell packs in more active battery material, and less wasted space in metal casing. Yet this "bigger can" brings big benefits.

This makes it possible for the waste heat from the electrical drive components to be made available to the interior of the Q7 e-tron quattro. Their outer skin is made from aluminum-coated polymer and this in turn brings weight advantages. Market launch is scheduled to begin in 2017. The company hopes to launch AWC in 2017.
