—Drew Winter, editor-in-chief, WardsAuto World magazine. kWh lithium polymer battery pack provides an all-electric range (AER) of 27 miles (43 km). The vehicle is powered by Hyundai’s 2.0-liter liter Nu four-cylinder GDI engine, which produces 154 hp and 140 lb-ft (190 N·m) of torque. Lastly, the vehicle’s 9.8

Thirty-two years later, our laptops are powered by much, much lighter lithium-ion or lithium-polymer batteries. And, most crushingly, the unit weighed more than 7 kilograms (16 pounds)—much of that weight from a lead-acid battery. Batteries have gotten a whole lot better, but they have not gotten Moore's-Law better. But it'll never happen.

Carbon3D recently emerged from stealth mode to introduce an innovative approach to polymer-based 3D printing that it says will advance the industry beyond basic prototyping to 3D manufacturing. Carbon3D introduced the CLIP technology (CLIP) simultaneously at TED 2015 and to the scientific community on the cover of Science Magazine.

Geotextiles made of synthetic polymers are buried deep underground to strengthen land embankments. One of the fibers is a piezoceramic nanocomposite fiber designed by Fibers@MIT, and the other is a polymer we harvested from commercial piezoelectric cabling, then modified to be suitable for fabric integration.

Visually, it’s an astounding aircraft, like something from a 1930s pulp sci-fi magazine. The batteries were modified model-aircraft lithium-polymer types. It’s also a triumph of engineering. The main objective behind this was proof of concept,” he says.“I
