Sandia team reports significant output from MagLIF fusion technique

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories’ Z pulsed-power accelerator have produced a significant output of fusion neutrons, using a method fully functioning for only little more than a year. The method could be useful as a future energy source if the individual fusion pulses can be sequenced like the firing of an automobile’s cylinders.

AI for Wireless

Cars That Think

have resulted in the ever-increasing complexity of wireless systems design. Wireless networks have also become more difficult to manage due to requirements necessitating optimal sharing of valuable resources to expanding sets of users. These systems then optimize the resources given to that link to improve performance.

LCA study finds connected and automated vehicle subsystems could enable net reduction in vehicle energy use and GHGs by up to 9%

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Michigan and Ford Motor Company have found that using a Level 4 connected and automated vehicle (CAV) subsystem could increase vehicle primary energy use and GHG emissions by 3–20% due to increases in power consumption, weight, drag, and data transmission. 16% compared to typical human-controlled drive cycles.
