Ultrathin device harvests electricity from human motion

Imagine slipping into a jacket, shirt or skirt that powers your cell phone, fitness tracker and other personal electronic devices as you walk, wave and even when you are sitting down.

£246 million to boost expertise in battery technology

The launch of the first phase of a £246 million government investment into battery technology to ensure the UK builds on its strengths and leads the world in the design, development and manufacture of electric batteries.

$30 million order to support integration of offshore wind energy

ABB has won a $30 million order from ScottishPower Renewables to supply two SVC Light® Static Compensators that will smooth out the voltage fluctuations that are an inherent feature of intermittent wind energy.

New world efficiency record with perovskite solar cells

A recent study finds key to produce a new cost-efficient way to produce inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite solar cells which sets a new world-record efficiency performance of 22.1 % in small cells and 19.7 percent in 1-square-centimeter cells.

Worlds first autonomous, staffless, mobile store

The Moby Mart is an autonomous, staffless, mobile store, turning every parking space in the world into a potential new 24-hour store. Moby Mart are currently working with tech to make the Moby self-driving.
