Georgia Tech team develops simple, low-cost process for oxide nanowires; superior separators for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a simple technique for producing oxide nanowires directly from bulk materials under ambient conditions without the use of catalysts or any external stimuli. The research was supported by the National Science Foundation and California-based Sila Nanotechnologies. —Lei et al.

DOE announces $11.5M in Phase 1 funding for carbon capture and storage program; ARPA-E FLECCS

Green Car Congress

The post-combustion outlet gas is more easily separated into water and CO 2 to the pipeline, thereby lowering the electricity costs of grids with high levels of VRE. The team’s approach uses a novel and low-cost heat-pump thermal storage system. Georgia Institute of Technology. 8 Rivers Capital. Southwest Research Institute.

Following the Money in the Air-Taxi Craze

Cars That Think

When entrepreneur JoeBen Bevirt launched Joby Aviation 12 years ago, it was just one of a slew of offbeat tech projects at his Sproutwerx ranch in the Santa Cruz mountains. Even by the standards of big-money tech investment, the vision is giddily audacious. Laurie Garrow, Georgia Tech And somehow, the cost would be no greater, either.
