€20M European research alliance focuses on liquid metals; energy applications

Green Car Congress

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), which coordinates the Alliance, and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are pooling their competences in this network together with other Helmholtz centers and universities in Europe. That’s why liquid metals are best suited to cool down highly energetic processes.

Portable Analyzer Brings Blood Testing to Rural Areas

Cars That Think

Many existing devices in the laboratory use light to analyze blood sample. As light passes through a substance, its intensity changes depending on the concentration of the substance it is passing through. Light is then passed through the sample, and a Raspberry Pi computer analyzes the data.

DOE to re-fund Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis with $75M for solar fuels R&D

Green Car Congress

The research program involves eight core projects: Light Capture and Conversion. This project focuses on the discovery and development of semiconducting materials for solar light absorption. This project focuses on automated, high-throughput discovery of materials that can act as light absorbers or catalysts for solar-fuel generation.

Ford, Volkswagen, and GM Explore EV-Powered Houses

Cars That Think

These V2H/V2G-enabled vehicles offer some three to 10 days powering the fridge and lights in case the power goes down. In case of power outage at home, the DC pins in the charger can send juice back into the house, keeping the lights on. And that’s much cheaper than a new $1,300 kit.

Electric Auto Association

For the Science Center, GEVA is an important resource when it comes to electric vehicles (EVs). My goal at the time was to drive it to work 10 miles away, at the Department of Physics at the University of Missouri. One of our members worked at the science center; that’s how all this started,” said Wayne Garver, President of GEVA.

Structured VLSI design, now taught in more than 100 universities. And unlike university research laboratories, PARC had one unifying vision: it would develop “the architecture of information.” Pake was executive vice chancellor, provost, and professor of physics at Washington University in St. Laser printers.
