Rust and corrosion are some of the biggest enemies of metals. These deficiencies can lower the strength of the part over time, and in some circumstances, become a safety issue. There is a difference between rust and corrosion, though. Rust is generally used to describe the oxidation of iron and iron-based alloys only. Usually, rust […]
Read MoreThermal conductivity is a crucial quality of metals since it measures the amount and speed of heat the material can displace. This quality is especially important in high-temperature environments. Extremely high temperatures can change the properties of any metal, usually reducing the strength. Therefore, conducting the heat quicker can significantly reduce the stress on the […]
Read MoreGEV (Global Energy Ventures) has designed a compressed hydrogen transport ship called “H2 Ship”, which is meant to solve the puzzle of transporting the precious fuel from northern Australia to Singapore, South Korea, China, and Japan. The “H2 Ship” can theoretically store up to 2,000 tons of compressed hydrogen that is produced in Australia using […]
Read MoreEinride, an autonomous EV mobility systems developer from Sweden, has presented the “Pod”, a fully autonomous truck built for the public roads. We have seen many prototypes of this kind, and freight truck drivers knew that the “end of the road” is coming since quite a few years ago, yet this is the first model […]
Read MoreRust is one of the biggest enemies of steel and other iron-based, ferrous metals. That’s because, in big enough quantity, it can seriously lower the strength of the part. You can do some things to prevent rusting, though. Here, we will revisit everything you can do to limit rusting. Before we do that, though, let’s […]
Read MoreDid you know over 90 percent of world trade is carried across the world’s oceans by over 90,000 marine vessels? Pollution from the shipping industry significantly contributes to global climate change. Thanks to the Swedish consortium that has unveiled the Oceanbird, which it says can reduce emissions by 90 percent. This innovative sailing cargo vessel is going […]
Read MoreHonda has decided to wrap up its Formula One engine program and put the money they invest in it to the acceleration of the adoption of carbon-neutral technologies. The Japanese have set a goal to electrify two-thirds of its global car sales by 2030, and their F1 program just doesn’t fit anywhere on these plans. […]
Read MoreThe maiden test flight of the “Flying-V” aircraft model was successful, and the teams of engineers and researchers behind it were filled with pride and hope for the next steps of the project. “Flying-V” is being co-developed by KLM engineers and TU Delft researchers, to create an extremely energy-efficient aircraft. Its shape and size are […]
Read MoreThe Volkswagen Group is looking to close the circle of experimentation with the ultra-hyper-car brand that is Bugatti, and pass the ownership of the marque to Rimac. VW had the rights to Bugatti since 1998, and it did truly amazing things for it by developing the Veyron, and later the Chiron. Both car models stand […]
Read MoreTank farms are often called to withstand harsh weather conditions as they are exposed to the elements of nature, be it sun, rain, frost, and sand particles hitting their walls with speeds as wind blows on them. It’s only a matter of time before corrosion takes its toll on the vessels, and tank farm operators […]
Read MoreResearchers from the University of Michigan recently achieved an efficiency record for transparent solar cells. This innovation could pave the way for skyscraper windows to serve as power sources. Researchers used an organic, carbon-based design of solar panels that led to this incredible breakthrough. They broke the previous efficiency record and hit the all-time high of […]
Read MoreImagine that you are escaping prison together with three other inmates, and on your way out, there are four electric cars available to take you as far as possible. There’s only one police car to chase all four cars, so the first one to come to a stop would be the only one arrested. All […]
Read MoreThe article, “Overview of Autonomous In-situ Resource Planning for High-Power Generating Stations,” describes how scientists used AI to define three optimal “resource planning approaches” to help operators regulate the voltage of high-power voltage variation (HVPV), the rate at which power fluctuations impact the energy storage systems required to preserve grid reliability. Autonomous Planning Systems “Autonomous […]
Read More“AMMO NYC”, a popular car detailing YouTube channel, has recently unveiled a secret barn located somewhere in the United States, where 300 rare and vintage cars rest parked. The owner of the collection preferred to stay anonymous, so this only adds to the mystery. Some of the cars found in the barn include a Plymouth […]
Read MoreAccording to Global Industry Analytics the global supply chain market is expected to reach $162 billion by the end of 2020 and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% during the decade ending in 2030. In order to maximize growth in the supply chain industry countries and companies are facing challenges such as cumbersome […]
Read MoreJapan’s latest Shinkansen bullet train model, the N700S series, has come into service. Large number of fans celebrated its debut, despite COVID-19 restrictions. The N700S S in the name of N700S series stands for “supreme”. The new model runs faster, smoother and is equipped with upgraded cabin features. Not only that, it is also designed […]
Read MoreTraditional carmakers accelerated the launch of new electric vehicles to catch with Tesla. The latest company that revealed more details about is EV strategy is Cadillac. Judging by its new electric crossover, due to launch in two years, the American luxury manufacturer has an ace up its sleeve. As expected, Cadillac will inject a lot […]
Read MoreThe lives of people with disabilities will soon be made much more manageable. Many startups already work on autonomous wheelchairs, which use technology similar to self-driving vehicles to navigate around an area. WHILL is a startup from Yokohama that’s at the forefront in developing such vehicles. The Japanese company was established by a former Nissan […]
Read MoreFord has announced the revival of the iconic “Bronco”, a highly successful off-roader that was first introduced in 1966. While there have been another four generations carrying the same name, all of the successors were bigger and clumsier SUVs that were less capable when pushed out of the bounds of paved road networks. So, eventually, […]
Read MoreNASA is preparing for the 2024 Moon launches of the ongoing Artemis program, and ensuring that everything is working as expected is never a bad idea when you’re planning to send people out of help’s reach. In this context, the space agency has run a destructive test on the upper stage of the SLS rocket, […]
