<p>Designed to be compatible with existing airline operations and infrastructures, Electra Aero’s concept aircraft is intended to serve as a practical interim step toward 100+ passenger, electrically powered airliners.</p>
Research from Tokyo University of Science shows how rheo-impedance spectroscopy links slurry shear conditions during coating to battery performance, enabling data-driven optimization and improved manufacturing efficiency.
A research team from MIT demonstrated a low-temperature process that could unlock cleaner lithium from America’s abundant hard rock while minimizing waste.
Enphase’s new SST architecture, which aligns with NVIDIA’s 800-V DC roadmap, uses a meshed array of sub-1-kV bidirectional GaN switches to provide scalability and distributed redundancy.
Successful U.S. Navy field trials of Menlo’s MEMS-based 1,000-V, 125-A smart circuit-breaker modules validate how they can improve reliability and efficiency while saving space in MW-scale power systems.
Wind, water, solar, and grid-scale battery storage enabled California’s power grid to spend 99 of the past 100 days running completely fossil-free for an average of 5.4 hours per day.
Could electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft be the harbingers of an exciting new era of fossil-free aviation, or impractical, expensive play toys? I got a glimpse of personal air mobility’s future with Velo X’s X1 at the 2026 Sun n’ Fun airshow.
Are eVTOL aircraft harbingers of a new era of fossil-free aviation, or impractical, expensive play toys? Lee Goldberg went looking for answers at the recent 2026 Sun n’ Fun airshow.
A recent conversation with an audiologist-turned-entrepreneur reveals how he used out-of-the-box thinking to design a new type of featherweight headset that protects pilots’ ears — and their wallets.
<p>Dr. Phil McCandless is a research audiologist, an avid pilot, and inventor who designed the HALO headset and manufactures it in his Mississippi-based workshop.</p>
