Whether it's electric vehicles, drones, or spacecraft, a common technical challenge for future transportation is lightweighting. Reducing the weight of a vehicle not only reduces energy consumption, ...

For the electric car to roll, a lot of large and small components must function in a safe and reliable manner. Parts for wheel hub motors, in particular, need to be constructed in a robust manner.

A research achievement that breaks the conventional belief that metal is essential for electric motor coils has emerged in the country. This technology, which utilizes carbon nanotubes (CNT) instead ...

Electric bikes, and really all electric vehicles, have one major downside: the weight and cost of batteries. Even with lithium, battery packs for ebikes can easily weigh more than the bike itself and ...

Researchers have succeeded in constructing the coil of an electric motor using only carbon nanotubes without any metals, and realizing it to the point where it can actually run. (Nanowerk News) ...

Resembling a death machine with its massive voltage and lightning discharge, the Tesla Coil was actually intended for free wireless electricity transmissions. It is a high-frequency air-core ...

Siemens researchers have developed a composite made of plastic and metal that can be processed like a plastic, but has the electrical and electromagnetic properties of metal. The new plastic-metal ...

The future of powering electric vehicles may soon be under your nose. Your feet, actually. By summer 2023, about a mile of road in Detroit’s bustling Michigan Central Station district should contain ...
