holyvolt-acquires-wildcat-to-pair-high-throughput-battery-materials-discovery-with-water-based-cell-manufacturing

Sweden’s Holyvolt has completed its $73 million acquisition of Wildcat Discovery Technologies, bringing together Wildcat’s high-throughput battery materials R&D platform and Holyvolt’s screen-printing, water-based manufacturing process. The companies say the combination is meant to bridge a familiar gap in the battery business: promising lab results that never make it efficientlyContinue Reading

Optimizing a Battery Electric Vehicle Thermal Management System

This webinar looks at a Battery Electric Virtual Vehicle Model of a mid-size BEV, and uses Simulink and Simscape to facilitate design exploration, component refinement, and system-level optimization. The virtual vehicle comprises five subsystems: Electric powertrain, driveline, refrigerant cycle, coolant cycle, and passenger cabin. The model will be tested using different drive cycles…Continue Reading

The universe is humming with ripples in spacetime: Scientists just doubled our catalog of black hole and neutron star collisions

Scientists have discovered over 100 more gravitational wave events. (Image credit: Robert Lea (created with Canva)) Our catalog of spacetime ripples “heard” by gravitational wave detectors here on Earth has doubled, scientists say, with newly discovered sources ranging from wobbly black hole mergers to the heaviest black hole collision detected to date. Back in 1915Continue Reading

Mars orbiters witness solar superstorm striking the Red Planet: ‘The timing was extremely lucky’

An artist’s rendering of a solar storm stripping charged particles from the Red Planet’s upper atmosphere. (Image credit: NASA/GSFC) Two European Space Agency Mars-orbiting missions, the Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter spacecraft, watched as a powerful solar “superstorm” that ravaged Earth also struck the Red Planet. The storm caused glitching spacecraft and aContinue Reading

Dallas-based low-cost airline Southwest Airlines , which has recently been the subject of shareholder activism by hedge fund Elliott Management, has demonstrated that it could be making yet another major strategic shift. Indeed, the airline, which once emphasized a customer and employee-oriented business model that offered free perks like freeContinue Reading

american-vs-delta-vs.-united:-which-airline-operates-the-longest-airbus-a321neo-flights?

Single-aisle jets are not supposed to be long-haul workhorses, but the Airbus A321neo has steadily pushed the boundary of what narrowbody range can mean. With new-generation engines, aerodynamic tweaks, and smarter cabin densification, the Airbus A321neo lets airlines open thinner routes, add frequency in premium-heavy markets, and right-size capacity whereContinue Reading
