Author: Dr James Edmondson, Research Director at IDTechEx The electric vehicle (EV) market continues to grow; however, its growth has slowed significantly in Europe and the US in the first half of 2024. A key route to reinvigorating growth will be the release of models in a more affordable price range. To this end, there are many avenues to reduce the cost of an EV. While the battery rightly takes focus, other components throughout the vehicle, such as the electric motor, can contribute to cost reduction too. IDTechEx’s latest…

Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Navy successfully conducted the flight test of the Vertical Launch Short Range Surface-to-Air Missile (VL-SRSAM) from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) in Chandipur, off the coast of Odisha, on September 12, 2024, at approximately 1500 hours. The flight test was carried out from a land-based vertical launcher, targeting a high-speed aerial target flying at a low altitude. The missile system successfully tracked and engaged the target. This test aimed to validate multiple updated elements of the weapon system, including the Proximity…
Read MoreIndian Scientists studied such magnetic which offered a new approach to thermal control in devices
In a magnetic material, a paramagnetic phase, in which the material shows weaker temporary attraction when exposed to a magnetic field, is attained at a temperature higher than the ferromagnetic phase. Surprizingly, the hotter paramagnets, even by travelling longer distances, thermodynamically, undergo faster transitions to their ferromagnetic phases, shows a new study. The research which establishes a phenomenon called Mpemba effect, earlier found in water, to be existing in magnets too, can bring a new perspective to thermal control in devices. Mpemba effect is a paradoxical phenomenon in which a…
Read MoreIndian Scientists carefully adjust laser power to systematically control defects and porosity
A new method of introducing controlled defects in MOF-Based super capacitors through laser irradiation, can help enhance performance of existing energy storage technologies. In recent years, several methods have been investigated for creating defects, such as thermal annealing, chemical exposure, high-energy ball milling, e-beam, chemical vapor deposition. However, the extent of defects could not be controlled in the materials using these methods. Traditional methods lack the precision needed for fine-tuning of defects. In order to enhance the activity of the pristine MOF (Metal Organic Framework) without transforming it into other…
Read MoreFPT INDUSTRIAL AND BIMOTOR POWER THE NEW HIGH TECH MARINE FIREBOAT FOR THE PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO
FPT Industrial, the Iveco Group brand dedicated to the design, production, and sale of low-environmental impact powertrains, has joined forces with its longtime partner and distributor Bimotor to power the new High Tech Marine HTM 440 Fireman fireboat for the Principality of Monaco. In 2021, High Tech Marine won an international tender to design and produce a Fireboat for the Principality of Monaco, and since then Bimotor and the shipyard have worked together to build the perfect boat. The Italian design and production of the entire boat has made the…
