Unico's Battery Testing Enters a Competitive Industry

Cars That Think

Paul Kohl, Georgia Institute of Technology At the battery seminar, Wright showed off a BAT300 test channel designed to convert a 400 or 800 volt direct current down to a 10 volt current for cell formation or cell testing. “Battery companies have expended enormous effort on predictive modeling.”

Researchers from MIT and Sun Catalytix develop an artificial leaf for solar water splitting to produce hydrogen and oxygen

Green Car Congress

The overall conversion efficiency of the wired cell indicates that a majority of the current from the solar cell can be converted directly to solar fuels and that a simply engineered functional artificial leaf comprising earth-abundant materials may be realized. —Reece et al.

In London we have congestion charge, plus a customer dense network. Together with Electric Mobility Netherlands (Elmonet) Urgenda tries to stimulate large-scale introduction of (non-converted) EVs on the Dutch roads. With very few moving parts, there is little that can break, so maintenance is infrequent and cheap

A Quantum of Sensing—Atomic Scale Bolsters New Sensor Boom

Cars That Think

MIT The nano-diamonds and the other materials used in the test are cheap. Now a quantum sensor from Imperial College London and Glasgow-based company M Squared can help ships navigate even when GPS is denied. The devices could be scaled up, according to the researchers, to analyze a full batch of samples at once.

The scan is then converted into a string of numbers known as a hash via a one-way function, which makes it nearly impossible to re-create the image even if the hash is compromised. Martin Albrecht , a professor of information security at Royal Holloway, University of London.

they have a degree of autonomy beyond the reach of federal government and can often make tough decisions: for example, California’s climate goals and London’s congestion charging. In effect therefore, the more energy convertion stages there are the less efficient the process is. The closest to that source is solar.
