Engineers around the world are scrambling to create next-generation batteries that are energy-efficient and easy to mass produce. One promising candidate is aqueous flow battery technology being developed at the University of Colorado.
Although 3D printing is a relatively quick process, creating a final prototype or a production-ready product with the technology can take months or even years.
As a leading developer of engines and drivetrain systems, Suter Industries Ltd. understands the importance and benefit of accurate, working prototypes.
One of the main issues in the recent strike against General Motors revolved around the increasing electrification of automobiles. The shift to electric- and hybrid-powered vehicles is expected to radically alter the shape of the auto industry in the decade ahead. It will also change the look of assembly lines.
The automotive industry is at the threshold of a disruption not seen since the Brass Era of the 1900s. Electric vehicles, connectivity, mobility-as-a-service, and autonomous vehicles promise to change the future of transportation in the same way that the "horseless carriage" did a century ago.
Recently, I received an e-mail from a U.S. electrical products company warning me that, on Oct. 15, the tariff on power supplies and power cords imported to the U.S. from China would increase from 25 percent to 30 percent.
Drones have come a long way in a fairly short time, commercially speaking. In less than 20 years, these unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have gone from being used by the CIA to attack the Taliban in Afghanistan, to soon being used by Amazon to deliver a wide range of packages to homes.
Lower limb prosthetics have been around for more than 200 years. But, it's only in the last 40 years or so that they've progressed to the point of accurately mimicking the human body.
