La multinacional española de automoción propiedad de los hermanos Riberas, Gonvarri, anunció este jueves la adquisición de casi la totalidad de las participaciones de la compañía eslovena Hidria, dedicada a la producción de componentes para automóviles. En el año 2022 se convirtió en socio estratégico de la empresa al adquirir más de un 40% de su capital.
BENTELER has today officially inaugurated a new paint line at its plant in Schwandorf. The cathodic dip coating system strengthens sustainable production at the site. Thanks to the intelligent use of resources, energy and water consumption is reduced and the waste heat for the entire process is reused. In future, the plant can be operated entirely CO2-neutrally by using biogas.
In physics, nonreciprocity occurs when a system's response varies depending on the direction in which waves or signals are propagating within it. This asymmetry arises from a break in so-called time-reversal symmetry, which essentially means that a system's processes observed as they evolve over time will be different compared to those processes observed on rewind.
Spanish startup FutureVoltaics, a spinoff of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), has developed a launched a pre-assembled, vertical PV system for rooftop applications.
The Vechtor system can be installed simply by unfolding it, with polished and rough metal specular reflectors. They are arranged in a specially designed patternon both sides of the bifacial solar panels.
The Swiss government has presented a report to reduce the country's “massive” dependence on the Chinese solar industry. The Federal Council said the report shows “how Switzerland has so far supported efforts to rebuild a European photovoltaic industry, how this could be done even more in the future and what ecological, economic and social impacts this would have.”
Marelli has been awarded a significant contract from a major global carmaker to supply the Battery Thermal Plate (BTP) for future Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). The solution, a key technology for thermal energy management in electric vehicles, has been developed and will be produced in-house by Marelli.
Cuando el francés Ernest Duchesne halló la penicilina en 1897 y la redescubrió Alexander Fleming en 1928, la salud de la humanidad dio un paso de gigante. Por primera vez, las posibilidades de morir por una infección descendían drásticamente. Sin embargo, el uso y abuso de antibióticos en los últimos 100 años ha enseñado a los patógenos microbianos a desarrollar defensas frente a la mejor arma farmacológica.
Intel used this year’s Intel Technology Tour to announce its new Lunar Lake architecture, reported to bring 3x more AI performance than Intel's previous generation. Compared to Intel's last AI laptop chip, Meteor Lake, the new architecture triples the amount of NPU hardware on the die—boasting up to 48 NPU tera operations per second (TOPS)—doubles the memory bandwidth, and brings clock speeds to 1.95 GHz.
Software engineers developing artificial intelligence (AI) models using standard frameworks such as Keras, PyTorch, and TensorFlow are usually not well-equipped to translate those models into silicon-based implementations. A new synthesizable tool claims to solve this design conundrum with faster and more power-efficient execution compared to standard AI processors.
