BYD (HKG: 1211, OTCMKTS: BYDDY) will launch its next-generation battery next year, which is expected to deliver better range performance for vehicles. “I think in the coming years, 2025, BYD will introduce the new generation of our remarkable blade battery,” Cao Shuang, the managing director of BYD Central Asia in European Auto Sales Division, said […]
The high-voltage battery is the lifeblood of an electric vehicle. However, concerns about the long-term health of an EV battery and the potential high cost of replacing it, especially on a used model, may deter many buyers from going electric. However, a silent revolution is underway in the world of battery manufacturing. That revolution is focused on […]
Sometimes it’s about child labour in cobalt mining, then it’s about range anxiety or the collapse of the power grid if all electric cars charge at the same time – the internet is full of false statements and half-truths about electric cars and their batteries. As soon as one topic is refuted with facts or […]
At a glitzy event in London, complete with a performance from pop star Charli XCX, the fintech giant celebrated hitting the 50 million customer milestone. Looking ahead, next year will see the gradual roll out of an AI-powered assistant that promises to adapt to customers’ needs and preferences in-app, guiding them towards smarter money habits, […]
First, the Russians, now this. Last month, a Russian judge fined Alphabet’s (GOOGL) two undecillion rubles — say what? — for restricting the country’s state media channels on YouTube, which the search engine giant owns. The figure — a 2 with 34 zeros right behind it — is many times greater than the entire planet’s GDP, […]
Batteries aren’t perfect, they have their shortcomings. For instance, they are made of scarce minerals often obtained through unsustainable mining practices. When dumped, they release harmful chemicals into the environment and have limited lifespans. When it comes to energy storage, although we currently rely heavily on batteries, we need a much greener and cleaner solution. […]
Solar and wind are quickly transforming the energy landscape—but if we are to realize the full potential of these intermittent, renewable energy sources, we’ll need safe, affordable batteries capable of storing it. As part of an effort to overcome the long-term energy-storage challenge, University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers have invented a water-soluble chemical additive that improves […]
Video games have always been a showcase for new technologies. They help create new audiences and new markets. In the 1990s, computer parts manufacturers advertised the speed of their video cards in terms of the frames they could render per second of popular video games like Quake. Developing and playing video games takes up a […]
Researchers at the University of Nottingham have created an AI model that allows them to accurately predict the amount of solar energy that can be created in different climates, making grid integration easier in the UK. Solar energy now contributes almost six percent of the UK’s energy, with this predicted to double over the next […]
A ceramic battery manufacturer has unveiled a solid-state battery concept that can be charged from 5% to 60% capacity in just five minutes — giving future electric vehicles (EVs) a 186-mile (300 km) range in the time it takes to order a coffee. Revealing the design at the 2024 Paris Motor Show on Oct. 14, […]
Madison engineers have found a way to simultaneously mitigate three types of defects in parts produced using a prominent additive manufacturing technique called laser powder bed fusion. Led by Lianyi Chen, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at UW–Madison, the team discovered the mechanisms and identified the processing conditions that can lead to this significant […]
Microsoft is releasing the first preview of its Recall AI feature for Copilot Plus PCs today. After a series of delays, Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel can now install a new build of Windows 11 that includes Recall and Click to Do — a feature that’s very similar to Google’s Circle to Search. Recall […]
