Engineers and material scientists have been trying to develop increasingly advanced devices, to meet the growing needs of the electronics industry. These devices include electrostatic capacitors, devices that can store electrical energy in a dielectric between a pair of electrodes through the accumulation of electric charge on the dielectric surfaces.

These capacitors are crucial components of various technologies, including electric vehicles and photovoltaics (PVs). They are often fabricated using polymers as dielectric materials, synthetic substances made up of large organic molecules with good intrinsic flexibility and insulating properties.

Researchers at Tsinghua University and other institutes in China recently introduced a new strategy to fabricate polymer composites filled with subnanosheets exhibiting highly advantageous properties. Their proposed method, outlined in a Nature Energy paper, allowed them to fabricate a 100-meter-long roll of a polymer-based subnanocomposite film.

The future of mobility will prioritize performance, and environment-friendly solutions as BMW hydrogen engines will change the world.

We finally got our first look at the new all-electric Porsche Macan EV this week. Porsche’s electric Macan features a 100 kWh battery pack that will reportedly be supplied by China’s CATL.

Ten years after debuting the SUV, Porsche revealed the all-electric Macan Thursday. The electric Macan is Porsche’s second EV, after the Taycan and the first fully electric SUV to wear the iconic badge.

The Macan EV is also the first existing Porsche model to receive an electric upgrade. With 87,355 Macan models handed over last year, the SUV plays a critical role in Porsche’s lineup.

These 2023 model-year battery-electric cars can travel the farthest on a full charge.

To make things even more interesting (or weird), there’s a mime (yes, you read that right) in the middle of the street, somehow unfazed by all the surrounding water, who reacts in a way only a mime could (we don’t know what those moves mean, so take that as you may).

Taking both X posts into consideration, there are about 1,000 comments–some say the car would malfunction in a matter of minutes, others say that nothing will happen, while some referred to Elon Musk’s words from 2016 when he said that “the Model S floats well enough to turn it into a boat for short periods of time.”

Our plans include a new all-electric product for North America positioned at a price point lower than the upcoming Chevrolet Equinox EV.

GM and Honda start large-scale hydrogen fuel cell production, aiming to overcome challenges and revolutionize green transportation.

Dive into the details of NASA’s collaboration with Sikorsky and DARPA, as autonomous helicopters navigate simulated skies over Long Island Sound.

Explore the skies with NASA’s autonomous flight software, steering Sikorsky helicopters through air taxi tests. The technology can change the way we fly.

Tata and Airbus will become the first private sector companies to manufacture helicopters in India.

Tata Group, one of India’s leading conglomerates, announced the signing of an agreement with France’s Airbus to jointly manufacture civilian helicopters. The deal, announced during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to India, signifies a deeper collaboration between the two nations in the aerospace sector.

Speaking at a media briefing, India’s Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra revealed that the agreement between Tata Group and Airbus to produce H125 helicopters would feature a “significant indigenous and localization component.”

Tesla is gearing up to build its next-generation Dojo supercomputer at its Gigafactory in Buffalo, New York, as part of a $500 million investment announced by the state’s governor on Friday.

The Dojo supercomputer is designed to process massive amounts of data from Tesla’s vehicles and train its artificial intelligence (AI) systems for autonomous driving and other applications. It is expected to be one of the most powerful computing clusters in the world, surpassing the current leader, NVIDIA.
