On December 28th, the world’s first hydrogen-powered urban train with independent intellectual property rights, developed jointly by CRRC Changchun and Chengdu Railway Group, rolled off the assembly line at the Chengdu CRRC Changchun production base in Xinjin, Chengdu.
The rapidly growing electric vehicle market generates a growing number of end-of-life batteries. By 2030, we will have around 90GWh of spent batteries retiring worldwide.
Thanks to the challenging nature of spent battery treatment and the potential of recycling raw materials in batteries, the global end-of-life battery market would reach USD 150 billion by 2030 and USD 470 billion by 2050. This is why local governments and many companies in Korea are keenly eyeing used batteries.
Sodium-ion batteries expected in EVs with ranges of up to 500 km, CATL exec says.
A CATL executive’s words imply that initial sodium-ion batteries used in production vehicles may not abandon the use of lithium altogether, but rather a mix of the two.
A CATL executive said the sodium-ion batteries are expected to be carried in electric vehicles (EVs), in what appears to be the first public mention of the prospect of using the new battery in passenger cars by someone at the power cell giant.
Deere & Company (NYSE: DE) announced its next steps in meeting the growing demand for batteries as a sole- or hybrid-propulsion system. In addition to the production facility in Austria, John Deere is making an immediate investment in two additional locations to increase the production capacity expansion of Kreisel Electric (“Kreisel”) — the battery technology pioneer in which John Deere recently acquired majority ownership.
Cell migration is key to allow the cells to move between two points. This is of utmost importance during embryogenesis and development for proper organ formation. However, cell migration is another key characteristic that cancer cells use to invade and move from place to place exploring new environments and (in the worst case) colonizing them in a process that is called metastasis.
Como cualquiera con tres minutos de experiencia en el mundo de la titulación de articulos sabe, cualquier titular escrito en forma de pregunta se puede responder con un resonante no. Hablo, naturalmente, del experimento de fusión nuclear reportado urbi et orbe en medios. Un excelente resumen se puede encontrar en este artículo de Science: With historic explosion, a long sought fusion breakthrough. Si os apañáis con el inglés, leedlo. Os espero.
Recientemente, el conglomerado estatal CASC —el equivalente de facto a una agencia espacial nacional china— realizó una presentación sobre los planes del programa tripulado chino, incluyendo las misiones tripuladas a la Luna.
El pasado 21 de diciembre de 2022 a las 01:47 UTC despegaba el segundo cohete Vega-C, el 22º Vega en total, desde la rampa ELV (ZLV) del centro espacial de la Guayana Francesa (CSG) en la misión V22 (Vol Vega 22). La primera etapa P120C se separó correctamente y la segunda etapa Zefiro 40 (Z40) tomó el relevo. Pero 2 minutos y 24 segundos tras el despegue la etapa experimentó una pérdida de empuje inesperada. Aunque la cofia y la tercera etapa también se separaron correctamente, la carga útil no alcanzó la velocidad orbital y acabó estrellándose en el Atlántico norte.
