Off Grid Energy Independence

World's First 100% Solar-Plus-Storage-Only Community Grid

Onslow, Australia's hydrocarbon-free experience shows that it is possible for communities to operate entirely on a solar-plus-stored-energy model.

GenCell Energy Successfully Runs 24/7 Hydrogen Power Solution

GenCell Energy has successfully completed an advanced testing period of its innovative experimental GenCell A5 off-grid hydrogen power solution based on alkaline fuel cell technology, at the site of an active Emergency Communications System station outside Reykjavik, Iceland.

Mayflower Autonomous Ship Begins Transatlantic Crossing Attempt

Ocean research non-profit ProMare and IBM have announced the Mayflower Autonomous Ship is now in international waters as it attempts to cross the Atlantic ocean and reach the United States.

Printed Electronics for Fashionable Wearables

Look around at any of the major fashion brands, and you start to see a pattern: there is not much there in the way of design-oriented, pro-science thinking. Those worlds have, unfortunately, remained separate for the most part. The general message that society is sending could not be any clearer: you can be beautiful, you can be smart, but you cannot be both.

Distributed Propulsion Aircraft Come to Market

The term distributed propulsion (DP) primarily refers to a fundamentally new form of wing that combines aerodynamics with thrust and zero emissions, resulting in numerous benefits.
