Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is a popular technology, and the technology is being continuously advanced to keep pace with the fast-growing world. There are two types of wireless power transfer: The one that allows powering through short distances while another that enables power to be transferred over long distances. Magnetic resonance technology is a way …

Nanoporous carbon materials are considered promising hydrogen storage carriers due to their cost efficiency, low density, and high porosity. These materials and their precursors are naturally abundant. The different forms of nanoporous carbon materials include carbon nanofibers (CNFs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbide-derived carbons, and activated carbon (AC). These various forms of nanoporous carbon materials display …

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have taken a back seat in media coverage as battery electric vehicles have become more prominent. This is due to the considerable rise of Tesla and then a flurry of activity in the battery electric vehicle space from all the major automobile manufacturers. But, what does this mean for hydrogen fuel …
Electric vehicles have been the recent attraction and in trend while in search of alternatives to fossil fuel. Many technologies have been realized to replace fossil fuels and their emissions to ensure emission-free clean energy generation to reduce carbon footprint. Focusing on mobility, the candidates racing are Hydrogen and Electric solutions. Amongst the two, Electric …

Have you ever been on a diet? Ever bounced from Atkins diet to Ketogenic diet to Paleo diet and many other combos, only to see yourself right back to where you started? If you knew that you were going to develop diabetes or cancer in a few years from now, what food could you take …
Robot companions are the ultimate future. Whether it is R2-D2 from Star Wars or Linguo from the Simpsons, these robots embody the future that we all see for humanity. The real question, however, is just how realistically possible is this future? And is it really as far as we think it is? The answer is …
Food manufacturing is a very complex & labour intensive process. Human intervention is required at each stage of food processing – from the milling of grains or the deboning of meat to the storage and packaging of processed food. However, the recent pandemic and rise in food-borne diseases such as stomach flu and cholera have …

With how far 3D printing has come to date, the applications of the technology seem to be endless. As well as the conventional headliners such as aerospace, medical, and automotive, companies and researchers alike are now using 3D printing to produce functional energy storage devices such as batteries. Lithium-ion batteries in particular have become essential …
The ills of the current energy model are becoming increasingly evident in many environmental and health areas. Since humans became aware of the potential of fossil fuels, there has been no real profound change in how we use them. It is true that we have learned to store electrical energy and even developed fission nuclear …

With the rise of renewable energy, the world faces a new problem to solve. During the years of the fossil fuel monopoly, energy storage was not a problem, since nature itself was responsible for providing these deposits. In contrast, the strategy to be followed with most renewable energies is different: the aim is to capture …
