Dans le cadre d'un concours d'innovation lancé par le ministère de l'énergie et du changement climatique (DECC, department of energy and climate change), le consortium EVEREST [1] (Electric Vehicle Embedded Renewable Energy Storage and Transmission, en français : de stockage et transmission d'énergie renouvelable embarqué sur des véhicules électriques) a reçu un contrat d'une valeur de 3 M£ afin de développer un démonstrateur d'une nouvelle technologie de stockage d'énergie.
Maiatzaren 9an eta 10ean egingo dira jardunaldiak, Lekeition. 'Konfiantzaren Pedagogia' deritzon hezkuntza ereduaren gainekoak izango dira eta antolatzaileak dira, Bergarako Aranzadi Ikastola, Arizmendi eta Azkue Ikastolak. Hezkuntza alorreko hizlari entzutetsuek hartuko dute parte jardunaldi horietan.
Haurraren ahalmenak errespetatzea eta sustatzea oinarri dituen sistema berritzailea da Konfiantzaren Pedagogia.
Makina-erremintetan, neurketa-ekipamenduetan eta piezetan akatsak gertatzearen eragile nagusiak efektu termikoak izaten dira. Efektu termikoen neurketa gero eta garrantzitsuagoa da, makinen eta neurketa-ekipamenduen errepikagarritasunean eta egonkortasunean eragina baitute epe luzera.
Garrantzia hori dela eta IK4-IDEKOko Mikroteknologia eta Ultradoitasuna ikerketa lerroko ikerlariak efektu horien simulazioa lantzen ari dira, termikoki eragindako akatsak konpentsatu ahal izateko, edo akats horiek murrizteko kontzeptu eta estrategia berriak garatu ahal izateko.

The energy-efficient power networks of the future will require entirely new ways of forecasting demand on the scale of individual households. That won’t be easy.
When the world’s largest solar thermal power plant—in Ivanpah, California—opened earlier this year, it was greeted with skepticism. The power plant is undeniably impressive. A collection of 300,000 mirrors, each the size of a garage door, focus sunlight on three 140-meter towers, generating high temperatures. That heat produces steam that drives the same kind of turbines used in fossil-fuel power plants.
Stanford researchers develop a copper catalyst that can efficiently convert carbon monoxide and water to ethanol.
Today, nearly all ethanol fuel is made from corn or sugarcane, which requires vast tracts of land and huge quantities of water and fertilizer. Researchers at Stanford University have now developed an electrochemical process that could be far cheaper and better for the environment.
Early-stage deals to food and grocery delivery startups have exploded as a number of prominent VCs from Greylock to Intel Capital have entered the space.
Investors proved hungry for GrubHub’s IPO, which soared over 30% in its first day of trading and notched a nice return for its backers including Benchmark Capital. And based on recent activity, venture investors are piling into the space eager to find the next winner in the food & grocery delivery space.
The jump in funding to food & grocery delivery companies looks to be part of the larger trend and increased interest in the food tech space.
Extreme Reality’s software-based 3D solution for 2D cameras moves beyond games into national security.
Extreme Reality, an Israeli video technology firm, may have found the solution to racial or ethnic profiling in a biometric profiling system that can automatically analyze how an individual moves, based on a “skeletal map” that indicates if an individual is up to no good.
In addition to traditional VCs, mobile point-of-sale startups are seeing investment from the likes of eBay, Mastercard, Starbucks and Verizon to name a few. In other words, the payments landscape continues to get messier.
Mobile PoS startups which enable merchants to conduct transactions and sometimes manage their businesses through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have raised $340M across 34 deals in the last 4 quarters. Deal growth at the seed and Series B stages suggests increased competition at the early stage and a healthy follow-on investment market for those with early traction.
