A user is able to "grab" the car hologram and manipulate itPublic University of NavarraRemember that scene in Iron Man 2 where Tony Stark manipulates virtual 3D elements with his hands—moving, pinching, swiping, and tossing holograms through the air? That felt futuristic in 2010. But what about 2025?While we're not quite at Stark-level tech...
The SG DD-276 turbine spans over three football fields across with a 21.5 MW capacitySiemens GamesaIn the ever-competitive game of "who builds it bigger," China has stepped aside for now as European company Siemens Gamesa sets a new world record with a massive wind turbine installed at the Østerild test field in Denmark.A Giant...
Manufacturing partner, Horien, in Switzerland has so far been producing sodium metal chloride batteries in factories like this, but will also take on production of Inlyte's sodium-iron batteriesInlyte EnergyFor years, lithium-ion batteries have been the go-to solution for long-term energy storage, but their production and maintenance costs remain high. A California-based startup, Inlyte, aims...
A small dye-sensitized betavoltaic cell has radiocarbon on both the cathode and anode to increase its energy-conversion efficiencySu-Il InResearchers at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology in South Korea have developed a nuclear battery capable of converting radiation directly into electricity for decades — all without the usual dangers associated with nuclear...
A sample of the new carbon-negative material, made from seawater, electricity and CO2Northwestern UniversityThis seemingly simple white paste could be key to addressing the global sand shortage while also transforming the cement production process to capture, rather than emit, carbon dioxide. Researchers at Northwestern University have developed this material using seawater, electricity, and CO2.Concrete...
The sodium-ion battery tech inside Elecom's new power bank has been in development since the 1970sElecomElecom, a Japanese hardware company, has introduced what it claims to be the world’s first power bank featuring a sodium-ion battery. This new battery technology promises a significantly longer lifespan compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries and can operate in...
The new fuel is designed to be produced in bulkINLThe Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has overcome a major challenge in making a Generation IV nuclear reactor feasible. Using a new process, a team developed a more efficient way of processing fuel for cutting-edge molten salt reactors.One of the main drives to revive nuclear energy...
Credit: PixabayA gravity battery generates electricity by releasing a heavy load, converting potential energy into power when grid demand is high. When surplus energy is available, the system lifts the load back up for future use.A common example is pumped-storage hydroelectric systems, where water flows downhill to generate power and is pumped back up...
