Physical access to an aircraft has not typically been considered a cybersecurity risk—but it should be, according to a team of computer scientists at the University of California San Diego. In a paper presented Aug. […]

The development of traction batteries for electric vehicles is becoming increasingly complex. Electrical performance, thermal behavior and mechanical safety interact closely and require integrated solutions. At the same time, uniform design standards have been lacking. […]

Researchers at the Surrey Space Centre (SCC) found that extreme space weather events can significantly increase radiation exposure at typical flight altitudes of 8–14 km (5–9 miles) and trigger faults in aircraft electronics—posing a challenge […]

Gas turbine engines, like those powering passenger planes, operate under extreme conditions during everyday use. These engines regularly reach temperatures well over 800°C (1,470°F), which creates challenges for long-term durability and efficiency.This post was originally […]

Imagine that you share a ride to work with the same colleague most mornings. As it passes by a license plate reader, the camera records the car, which can be linked through vehicle records to […]

A McGill University study recommends that cold-climate cities increase their electric bus fleets and expand charging capacity so vehicles can be charged slowly, a process that draws less power from the grid than fast charging.This […]

The first — and only — person to break the sound barrier in a car hits the track in Utah this week with new wheels and his eye on another record.This post was originally published […]

In recent months, American drivers have felt the pain of increased prices at the gas pump. There’s some evidence that higher prices may be fueling interest in greener ways of getting around. Battery electric cars, […]

Two pilot mobility hubs in New York’s Capital District are nudging commuters out of their cars and onto buses, bikes and car-share vehicles, according to a new analysis from NYU Tandon’s C2SMART transportation research center.This […]

China has drawn up new safety rules for the growing number of autonomous vehicles on its roads, including a mandatory deactivation override, the government said Tuesday.This post was originally published on this site.
