Electric vehicles are awesome, their ongoing costs are dramatically cheaper than ICE vehicles, but there’s one maintenance cost you can’t avoid.. tyres which are rarely cheap. Typically EVs weigh more than comparable-sized vehicles thanks to their high capacity battery packs, and combined with instantaneous torque from the electric motor(s…Continue Reading
The University at Buffalo, a New York State flagship university with 30,000 students, recently added eight new 40-foot battery-electric transit buses to its UB Stampede fleet, which serves some 16,000 passengers each day. The university undertook the project in collaboration with campus transportation provider WeDriveU and fleet electrification specialist Zenobē.Continue Reading
Ten-Nine Technologies is scaling up production of TENIX, a cathode additive designed to stop the chemical decomposition that saps a battery’s performance as it ages. The additive is blended into cathode material during manufacturing at 0.5–2% of the cathode’s weight. That works out to roughly 0.5–2 kg for every 100Continue Reading

A NASA NIAC project will try to Mapping Alien Continents using formation-flying optical interferometer. Two hierarchical nullers ~100 km apart that first suppress the host star by ~10¹⁰ in visible light, then combine the leftover planet light as a Michelson interferometer. That baseline gives an angular resolution of order 1 µas at 500 nm. AnContinue Reading
