Researchers at Japan’s Atomic Energy Agency have come up with a new method of processing seawater to extract lithium—an element that plays a key role in advanced batteries for electric vehicles and one that, if current predictions for the EV market prove accurate, could be in short supply before the end of the decade.

Colabo wants to be the bridge between the “old world” of customer relationship management (CRM) systems and the newer one of social networks, where many customers reside.
Today, the San Mateo, California-based company is announcing newly-raised Series A funding of $7 million to strengthen its role as a go-between. And it is unveiling a new integration with Oracle’s CRM that it hopes will give it a leg up.
Two companies are today announcing new products to make those lumbering behemoths of the highway more logistically nimble.
One company, the San Jose, California-based Trucker Path, has had a popular mobile Android application of the same name that offers crowd-sourced guidance to road comforts — the nearest truck stop, weigh stations, hotels, diesel fuel, and so on. It claims more than 240,000 users — or about 15 percent of the big Class 8 rigs.

Desde el inicio, el tren de alta velociad (AVE) ha tenido políticamente vocación y objetivos europeos. En una primera fase la meta era acabar con la ínsula ferroviaria ibérica, mediante la homologación de nuestras nuevas infraestructuras ferroviarias y una mayor integración con la red de trenes transeuropeos. Y, después, acelerar su convergencia, gracias al Tratado de Maastricht y la duplicación de las solidarias ayudas europeas.
Seat precisará de la planta de Landaben en Navarra para dar salida a la producción que podría asignarle su matriz Volkswagen (VW). Así lo explican fuentes sindicales y cercanas a la empresa que prevén que el grupo alemán especialice a Seat en modelos pequeños compatibles con el Ibiza, lo que superaría la capacidad de la planta catalana. La salida: Landaben, donde todavía hay margen para producir vehículos. Sería la primera vez en muchos años que Landaben fabricaría un modelo que no fuese el Polo.
Roboticists from around the world came together in Pomona, Calif., today and yesterday for the 2015 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Robotics Challenge, and DARPA has just named the winner: Team KAIST of Korea.
The team is a collaboration between the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) Humanoid Robot Research Center and from Rainbow Co., a company that was spun out of the research lab. The team’s humanoid robot, or HUBO, stands 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing in at 176 pounds. It works in bipedal mode, and it can kneel down to roll around on wheels.
Cars are a new frontier for tech startups, now that other internet connected-device markets are more mature. The market opportunity is significant since 65 million passenger cars were sold globally in 2014. While many companies are working to connect cars to the cloud, other startups are trying to utilize that data to improve driver safety, build navigation systems, or provide more accurately priced insurance plans.
Using CB Insights data, we identified companies that are working to improve different services and products associated with the auto industry.
The hillsides around Tehachapi, a brown and blustery town on the edge of California’s Mojave Desert, are bristling with a forest of wind turbines of all makes and sizes.
But the tallest and strangest one stands down in the valley. It rises 450 feet from base to blade tips – almost half the height the Eiffel Tower – and has a large spinning silver aluminum dome bolted to its rotor. “It almost looks as if an UFO got stuck on the face,” says Mike Bowman, who leads sustainable energy projects at GE Global Research. “But the dome could be the future of wind.”
