Chalmers team develops graphite-like anode for Na-ion batteries; Janus graphene

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a nanometric graphite-like anode for sodium ion (Na + storage), formed by stacked graphene sheets functionalized only on one side, termed Janus graphene. The estimated sodium storage up to C 6.9 Na is comparable to graphite for standard lithium ion batteries.

BTG and GoodFuels exploring options for joint investment to convert pyrolysis oil to low-carbon fuel for ships

Green Car Congress

The goal is to use the pre-commercial facility as a reference for rolling out commercial refineries with a capacity of possibly hundreds of thousands of tons per year of an advanced sustainable marine biofuel for ships. GoodFuels intends to market the pilot volumes produced to further strengthen the commercial business case.

How Generative AI Helped Me Imagine a Better Robot

Cars That Think

NASA research engineer Ryan McClelland calls these 3D-printed components, which he designed using commercial AI software, “evolved structures.” The phrase refers to how the AI software iterates through design mutations and converges on high-performing designs. We plan to build such a robot in my lab at Uppsala University , in Sweden.

Metamaterials Could Solve One of 6G’s Big Problems

Cars That Think

Vendors such as Huawei, Ericsson, NEC, Nokia, Samsung, and ZTE are working alone or in collaboration with universities. At Huawei Sweden , where I work, we’ve had a lot of discussions about the best placement of RIS units in urban environments. For RIS to be commercially competitive, it will have to preserve its low-power nature.

How Carmakers Are Responding to the Plug-In Hybrid Opportunity

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

This is from "Commercializing Plug-In Hybrids" (pdf), the current CalCars 24-slide presentation about PHEVs available along with other documents at CalCars Downloads. DaimlerChrysler has presented plug-in hybrids in commercial vans that have enough room to store the batteries, but the technology is not quite ripe for cars."Plug-in
