It’s often the case that technologies developed for racing vehicles trickle down to the wider automotive market. With an endurance race in its sights, a team of more than 30 students at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Netherlands has d… Continue reading Student team breaks the 4-minute barrier for EV fast-charging
Plastic ketchup bottles have a valve in the lid that opens to let ketchup out, and that sometimes “sputters” if the bottle is squeezed too hard. Dutch scientists have copied that mechanism to create an actuator that could be used in autonomous soft rob… Continue reading Ketchup bottles inspire new method of moving soft-bodied robots
A student team from the Eindhoven University of Technology has built a prototype electric passenger car that removes and stores carbon dioxide from the air as it rolls down the road, with the aim of capturing more CO2 than is emitted during the full li… Continue reading Prototype EV scrubs CO2 from the air as it drives along
Flax is a very useful crop, being used in everything from e-racers to campers. With concrete being such a major contributor of carbon emissions, a team led by the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is researching whether it could also be used as… Continue reading Sensor-packed footbridge demonstrates efficacy of flax construction
The assessment of sleep apnea typically involves spending a night at a clinic, wired up to various sensors that may actually keep the patient from sleeping normally. According to recent research, though, a Fitbit-like device could serve the same purpos… Continue reading Wrist-worn device used to more easily assess sleep apnea
Members of a student team from the Technology University of Eindhoven are about to embark on a fact-finding mission to the South Pole that will inform the creation of an autonomous solar-powered Antarctica research rover.Continue ReadingCategory: Envir… Continue reading Student team building autonomous solar-powered rover for Antarctic research
For the past year or so, a student team from the Eindhoven University of Technology has been working on a wearable that could allow folks to understand what’s being said in another language through vibrations on the arm.Continue ReadingCategory: Wearab… Continue reading Vibrating sleeve gives wearer a feel for languages
Last month, students from the Solar Team at TU Eindhoven announced plans to roll from the Netherlands to southern Spain in a solar-powered campervan. After a shaky start, the Stella Vita arrived in Tarifa on Friday afternoon.Continue ReadingCategory: A… Continue reading “Solar house on wheels” completes epic European road trip
