As the world races to enhance the efficiency of cars and other vehicles so as to control greenhouse gas emissions and enhance the range of electric vehicles, the hunt is ongoing for lighter materials that are sufficiently robust to be employed in the car’s body.
A group of researchers from Johns Hopkins University developed a shock-absorbing material that protects like a metal but is lighter, tougher, and reusable. Helmets, body armor, and vehicle and aircraft equipment might all benefit from the new foam-like substance.
Engineers working under the EU-funded project PULSAR, have unveiled a fully autonomous robotic demonstrator, which could construct in orbit the primary mirror of a telescope from separate parts.
TRB Lightweight Structures is delighted to be part of the team behind Revolution VLR (Very Light Rail), an innovative passenger vehicle designed to simplify extension of existing rail networks and allow the reopening of historical lines.
In a recent study published in the open-access journal Physical Review X, researchers analyzed nonequilibrium states of functionalized materials that can only be induced by above bandgap photoexcitation using ultrafast laser pulses, and not by thermal excitation.
Within the joint project LAOLA (funding code: 03INT509AF), which was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and has now been completed, large-area lighting applications with organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) on flexible substrates should be developed.
Automated driving systems have been one of the hot-button topics of the past 5 years. However, like any innovative technology, there are opportunities and risks associated with automated vehicles. A new study published i...
Researchers from Greece and France, in their latest article published in the journal Energies, have studied the influence of rotor bar shapes to increase the efficiency of a single-phase induction motor.
Published in the journal Carbon, researchers have investigated the spatial distribution of CNTs with different length scales during ball milling, sintering, and hot extrusion.
A group of researchers recently published a paper in the journal Materials that demonstrated the effects of different body attitudes on the aerodynamic characteristics and handling stability of racing cars. In racing cars, the aerodynamic acts on the tires through the suspension and the transmission of the body. Additionally, racing wheels can withstand higher tangential and lateral forces under changing conditions.
