Sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), which use a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid one, are emerging as a promising way to overcome the safety and energy-density limitations of conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, a major obstacle […]

Researchers at Skoltech conducted a comparative study of two techniques for evaluating mesoscale residual stresses in the aerospace alloy VT6 (Ti-6Al-4V) used to manufacture fan and compressor blades in aircraft engines. The study, published in […]

As electric vehicles become more common, cities are facing the new and increasingly complex task of managing when and where drivers plug in. Concordia researchers have developed a new tool that offers a clearer picture […]

A research team led by Su-Min Kim and Jung-Goo Lee (Korea Institute of Materials Science; KIMS) has developed next-generation magnet manufacturing technology that uniformly enhances magnetic performance throughout thick magnets while reducing heat generation.This article […]

The effects of the Iran war on the oil market have brought renewed attention to the EU’s plans for domestic production of fossil-free aviation fuels. But EU rules for synthetic aviation fuels risk steering development […]

The experimental plane Solar Impulse 2, which completed a historic round-the-world trip in 2016 without using jet fuel, crashed into the Gulf of Mexico recently, its owner revealed.This article was originally published here

Picture this: you’re driving on a mountain road, when you suddenly hit a thick patch of fog. You respond instinctively. Your vision sharpens, and you narrow your eyes to make out the shape of any […]

From the heartbreak of an early flight failure to a resounding triumph over the Norwegian Sea, the Boundary Layer Transition and Turbulence (BOLT) Program spent nearly a decade launching rockets into the atmosphere, to investigate […]

Fast charging shortens the life of vehicle batteries, but is necessary on longer journeys with electric vehicles. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now developed a new AI method that adapts fast charging […]

Australia is in the midst of an electric vehicle boom. The combined rise of battery electric, plug-in hybrids and conventional hybrid cars is steadily shifting the long-term market dominance of petrol and diesel.This article was […]
