The technology enterprise Rheinmetall AG is presenting innovative, turnkey, mobile modular solutions for producing, storing and transporting CO2-free hydrogen. The mobile solution offered by Group subsidiary Rheinmetall Denel Munition in South Africa assures climate-neutral energy security.

Photovoltaic energy allows us to generate renewable energy using the sun. It works by converting solar radiation into electricity using the photoelectric effect, but what is it and how did it become so prevalent?

As part of Volvo Cars’ aim to be a fully electric car maker by 2030, the company is the first European car maker to sign an agreement with Tesla, giving current and future electric Volvo car drivers access to Tesla’s vast Supercharger network across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The research team uses a process known as microwave irradiation to recycle waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic into a low-cost, environmentally friendly battery anode material.

Chemists in the United States have developed so-called ‘smart bricks’ that are able to store energy until it’s required to power devices. These open up a range of exciting potential applications, including energy storage integrated into building architecture.

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF (Fraunhaufer IAF) have integrated their GaN power ICs using PCB embedding technology to create an extremely compact and efficient voltage converter.

Northvolt’s advanced technology group, Cuberg, excels in third-party performance testing of its latest generation of lithium metal cells. As customer deliveries ramp up, the improved performance of cells takes Cuberg closer to its goal of supplying commercial cells to power a new era of electric aviation.

Melexis launches the MLX91230, the first product of its third generation of current sensors. This digital solution brings 0.5 % accuracy in a compact design. It integrates IVT measurement capability, embeds a microcontroller (MCU) to offload processing from the ECU and benefits from pre-installed safety features. The MLX91230 is suited for EV battery management and power distribution systems.

Lithium-ion battery (LIB) cells are at the core of global electrification strategies, helping to meet ambitious net zero emission targets. To address the fast-growing demand for these products, LIB cell manufacturers need to ramp up production, delivering products of high quality with limited environmental footprints and short lead times. These goals are becoming easier to reach when adopting data-driven, automated solutions.

EDA tools are at the core of modern chip production. Now that it has been cut off from access to the United States EDA tools market, China is quickly developing a homegrown industry as it continues to do battle with the U.S. for global chip market dominance.
