Georgia Tech team develops highly efficient multi-phase catalyst for SOFCs and other energy storage and conversion systems

Green Car Congress

The catalyst is also readily applicable to other energy storage and conversion systems, including metal-air batteries, supercapacitors, electrolyzers, dye-sensitized solar cells, and photocatalysis. The catalyst is applied as a sheer coating only about two dozen nanometers thick and comprises two connected nanotechnology solutions.

Stanford team proposes continuous electrochemical heat engines as a direct method of harvesting heat to electricity

Green Car Congress

A team from Stanford University is proposing continuous electrochemical heat conversion as a direct method of harvesting heat to electricity. The electrochemical heat engines can use any redox-active fluids, including gases, not just ones directly conducting electrical charge, and do not rely on fixed-temperature phase transitions.

High-Speed Rail Finally Coming to the U.S.

Cars That Think

The 350 kilometer (218 mile) corridor, which the company calls Brightline West , will connect Las Vegas to the the suburbs of Los Angeles. As Vaclav Smil , professor emeritus at the University of Manitoba, noted in IEEE Spectrum in 2018, there has long been hope that the U.S. I am thrilled to see the U.S. catching up.”

Road Test: 2021 Cadillac Escalade Duramax 4WD

Clean Fleet Report

The ride, comfortable as would be expected, came from an independent rear suspension, an air ride adaptive suspension and magnetic ride control, both of which, along with the electrically assisted power steering, reduce body roll and help with overall maneuverability. The Lyriq represents Cadillac’s electric future.
