Researchers in Australia have compared the technical and financial performances of a hydrogen battery storage system and a lithium-ion battery when coupled with rooftop PV. They evaluated two commercially available systems – LAVO and Tesla Powerwall 2 – and found that the lithium-ion battery provides better financial profits, whereas the hydrogen battery offers more battery lifespan for long duration of energy storage.
Regionalverkehr Köln GmbH (RVK), the public transport authority of the German city of Cologne, has once again chosen Solaris for the supply of hydrogen-powered buses. This time the contract comprises 20 vehicles, nine of which will be Urbino 12-metre buses, while the remaining eleven will be Urbino 18-metre articulated buses. After delivery of this order - scheduled for the first half of 2025 - the hydrogen bus fleet in Cologne will comprise 84 Solaris vehicles.
Alstom, global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has been chosen by ‘Le Mans Métropole’ to extend the existing Citadis trams of the city. The 34 32-metre-long Alstom trams, acquired successively in 2007, 2010 and 2013, will be extended to 44 metres, increasing passenger capacity by 85 passengers per tram.
After the complete assessment of a first tram, the project will also enable some systems to be modernised (CCTV, tachometric control unit) and new ones to be installed (lubrication and anti-drift systems).
Annoncé en 2022, le projet d’implantation d’un centre R&D d’Intel en France ne verra pas le jour pour le moment. L’entreprise américaine préfère concentrer ses efforts sur ses nouvelles usines.
Es uno de los grandes científicos del comportamiento, pero Robert Sapolsky (Nueva York, 66 años) no cree que tenga ningún mérito. No lo dice con modestia, sino con convicción. Este prolífico autor cree que el libre albedrío es una ilusión, que nuestras decisiones conscientes serían la consecuencia de procesos inconscientes del cerebro.
En los archivos del Instituto Tecnológico de California se conserva una fotografía de la pizarra del legendario físico Richard Feynman tomada en 1988, el año que murió de cáncer.
The high-tech company TRUMPF today signed a cooperation agreement with the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) of the University of Stuttgart. The aim of the agreement is to provide TRUMPF employees with the extensive computing capacities of the HLRS. "This cooperation shows that we in industrial Germany also have a powerful digital ecosystem.
At this year’s in-house INTECH exhibition, TRUMPF is presenting the “Runability Guide”, an initial version of a new AI-based solution that helps production employees run in the high-performance TruMatic 5000 punch laser machine more quickly and more easily. At present, when using the machine to produce a new order with a new geometry or from new materials, users must individually test the machine program.
Electric vehicle intenders want 20-minute charging times, a 350-mile driving range and to pay $50,000 for a car, according to a Boston Consulting Group study. Only one EV on the market — the Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE RWD Long Range model — meets those thresholds.
Automakers are losing thousands of dollars on every EV they sell, and for the most part not meeting consumer expectations for the vehicles, according to Boston Consulting Group.
