To support the challenge, NIST has teamed with US Ignite, a nonprofit focused on the creation of next-generation Internet applications that provide transformative public benefit. US Ignite will host the website where communities and technology innovators can sign up to create teams that will focus on particular smart city goals and challenges.

"This analysis shows the main cause to be the lack of a single European energy market, but also slower than expected cost reduction of some new energy technologies and slower deployment of energy efficiency than envisioned.

As part of the agreement, Vorbeck will use its award-winning graphene technology to develop conductive compounds that will not only benefit IQT’s customers, but will also have broad applications in the commercial electronics industry

Using the Siemens technology installed on the platforms, the alternating current power generated by the wind turbines is transformed into direct current for efficient transmission to the mainland. At the associated land-based stations, the electricity generated by the connected wind farms is converted back into the alternating current power required for feeding into the transmission grid.

In the process, Leoni benefited from the consistently heavy, worldwide demand for standard and special automotive cables as well as from the growing business with the medical technology industry and the Chinese solar sector.

Researchers at the University of Texas at San Antonio say that they have produced a new phase map of the copper-nickel nanoalloy – a technologically important catalyst used in a wide range of industrial processes – that goes a long way in explaining how the size and shape of the nanoparticles affect the alloy’s melting temperature. The map could allow engineers to make specific types of Cu-Ni structures depending on the application required by simply tuning alloy synthesis parameters.

The convergence of building automation, information technology, and wireless communications is driving growth in this market, report concludes

While lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries offer many advantages over traditional battery technologies, research and development of new battery chemistries that, in many ways, surpass Li-ion is advancing rapidly and is expected to have a major impact on the battery industry in the coming years. 

Standard Model S sedans have until now all featured a single rear motor slung between and slightly behind the car’s rear axle, powering the rear wheels only; the new "D" models will add a second motor between the two front wheels.

Wearable soft sensors for monitoring health

Falling prices for light-emitting diode (LED) street lights have spurred a global transition from older lamp technologies to newer, more efficient, and more controllable LEDs.
