Single-molecule switch An international team of researchers have demonstrated a switch on a single fullerene molecule. Using a laser, the team switched the path of an incoming electron. “What we’ve managed to do here is control the way a molecule directs the path of an incoming electron using a very short pulse of red laser light,” said Project Researcher Hirofumi Yanagisawa from the Uni... » read more

Automotive, Mobility The U.S. space agency NASA entered a $57.2 million contract with ICON to develop technology to build roads on the moon. ICON, a Texas-based 3D printing construction company, has been working with NASA and the U.S. Air Force on construction technologies that can use local materials to build infrastructure on Mars. NASA is working on advanced 3D printing construction systems... » read more

Detection Of Electric Vehicles And Photovoltaic Systems In Smart Meter Data
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 12 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

In the course of the switch to renewable energy sources, there is a shift from a few large energy sources (power plants) to a large number of small, distributed energy sources (e.g., photovoltaic systems) and energy storage devices (e.g., electric vehicles). This results in the need to know and identify these energy sources and sinks as soon as new devices are installed, in order to ensure grid... » read more

Week in Review: Manufacturing, Test
By Linda Christensen - 10 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Breaking the Logjam The U.S. government’s delay in funding strategic chip capacity is threatening supply chains that are critical to national security. In fact, classified meetings are being held this week on the subject. Meanwhile, recognizing that time is of the essence, a group of billionaires has backed the “America’s Frontier Fund,” a non-profit group that aims to spur U.S. chipma... » read more
