Something of an automotive phenom, Munich startup DeepDrive is hard at work on a more practical, mass production-ready in-wheel electric motor. Its unique radial flux motor concept uses a dual-rotor configuration to produce copious amounts of torque fr… Continue reading Is this radical two-rotor hub motor the secret to cheap 500-mile EVs?
Continental has unveiled a new concept tire at the IAA Mobility show in Hanover, Germany. Called the Conti CityPlus, it takes an unusual approach to “tire efficiency,” focusing on urban use rather than highway driving.Continue ReadingCategory: Automoti… Continue reading Continental takes unusual approach with the Conti CityPlus concept tire
New modeling from researchers at Curtin University has simulated 300 million years of tectonic plate movement to predict the formation of a supercontinent called Amasia. The modeling estimates the Pacific Ocean closing and America colliding with Asia.C… Continue reading Modeling predicts supercontinent Amasia will form in 300 million years
Geologists have discovered a long-term cycle that may connect the formation of Earth’s continents to increased comet impacts and the planet’s journey through the galaxy. The team connected fluctuations in tiny grains in stable parts of the crust to the… Continue reading Study links continent creation to 200-million year galactic comet cycle
All EV drivers really want is faster charging, but for now they’re getting creepy and/or complex robo-charging snakes and arms instead. Robotic charging might ultimately make topping off an EV battery easier, but it would be nice if it didn’t terrify c… Continue reading Continental makes hands-free robotic EV charging as simple as wireless
Newly released maps of Zealandia, a massive sunken landmass many have argued should be classified as Earth’s eighth continent, are revealing the topography of this underwater land in unprecedented detail. The new trove of data comes from New Zealand re… Continue reading Ancient sunken continent of Zealandia laid bare in new interactive maps
With tectonic plates bumping and grinding against each other, Earth is a pretty active planet. But when did this activity begin? A new study from Yale University claims to have found evidence that plate tectonics started about a billion years earlier t… Continue reading Yale study suggests tectonic plates formed very early in Earth’s history

The instrument panel is about to start jumping out of car dashboards. Tier-one OEM supplier Continental has built a glasses-free, “auto-stereoscopic” 3D car display, and it’s about to debut on the new Genesis GV80 SUV.Continue ReadingCategory: Automoti… Continue reading 3D car dash displays are breaking out of science fiction into the GV80
Earth has had a tumultuous past, so it’s hard to get a clear idea of those wild early days. But a new study by researchers from the University of Adelaide raises the possibility that continents may have risen out of the sea much earlier than is currently believed, before being destroyed once again by tectonic activity.
