Researchers at MIT have demonstrated that wedge-shaped vortex generators attached to a ship’s hull can reduce drag by up to 7.5%, which reduces overall ship emissions and fuel expenses. The paper, “Net Drag Reduction in […]

A new system for detecting unusual and potentially harmful data sharing between in-vehicle smart-tech and traffic management technology could prevent 9 out of 10 cyber attacks.This post was originally published on this site.

High-nickel batteries, which are high-energy lithium-ion batteries primarily used in electric vehicles, offer high energy density but suffer from rapid performance degradation. A research team from KAIST has, for the first time, identified the fundamental […]

High-speed rail systems are found all over the globe. Japan’s bullet train began operating in 1964. China will have 31,000 miles (50,000 kilometers) of high-speed track by the end of 2025. The fastest train in […]

Inland waterway transportation has played a limited role in Europe so far, with a share of about 6%. Together with 15 partners, Fraunhofer researchers are seeking to change this with the EU project CRISTAL.This post […]

Gerotor pumps for oil circulation and lubrication are crucial components in automotive and hydraulic systems. They possess a compact design, excellent flow rate per rotation, and high suction capability. The gerotor tooth profile plays a […]

One of the many benefits of electric vehicles is that they are much quieter than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. In some cases, though, they are too quiet. Automakers are required to design their vehicles so they […]

Studies on integrating electric vehicles (EVs) into local energy markets have been hindered by the high computational complexity associated with EV modeling. Seyed Mahoor Ebrahimi’s doctoral dissertation at the University of Vaasa overcomes these hurdles […]

Airbus is inspecting panels on its bestselling A320 passenger jets after quality control problems surfaced, days after it reported that it was scrambling to fix a separate software problem affecting about 6,000 of the popular […]

To make autonomous vehicles as safe, affordable and competitive as possible, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have teamed up with partners from the automotive industry to develop a centralized architecture for the […]
