In its quest for new, innovative technology to meet its measurement needs, DURA opted for the Creaform optical CMM MetraSCAN 3D|BLACK Elite and portable CMM HandyPROBE, paired with Polyworks.
The motor control center puts the starters, protection and controls for many electric motors into one lineup of cabinets. This guide explains what it is, how it is built, how it differs from switchgear and a VFD, and what current standards expect for safety and maintenance.
A solid oxide fuel cell converts fuel directly into electricity through a ceramic electrolyte that conducts oxygen ions at high temperatures. This guide covers the electrochemistry, the material choices, where the efficiency really comes from, and the degradation mechanisms.
A microbial fuel cell turns the metabolism of living bacteria into an electrical current. This guide covers the electrochemistry, microbiology, materials, real performance numbers from pilot plants, and the economics that still keep the technology out of mainstream power generation.
A PEM fuel cell converts hydrogen and oxygen into electricity at around 80 degrees C, with water and heat as the only products. This guide covers electrochemistry, layer materials, efficiency limits, and cost and durability to help you understand the practical applications of this technology.

At least 15 billion primary batteries are being disposed of yearly worldwide. The world is getting better at recycling, which is excellent news. However, the bad news is that we are still throwing batteries that are not fully utilized.
In many sectors, sensor networks are composed of thousands of individual sensors, many powered by primary batteries. Certain issues related to limited power autonomy need to be taken into consideration before successfully deploying such networks.
Borrowing methods from biology, a team of scientists and engineers designed and tested an electrolyte that keeps battery power delivery high, cycle after cycle.
A new electrolyte design for lithium metal batteries could significantly boost the range of electric vehicles. Researchers at ETH Zurich have radically reduced the amount of environmentally harmful fluorine required to stabilise these batteries.
Researchers from ITMO University have managed to improve the efficacy of perovskite solar cells with the help of silicon nanoantennas, which increase the concentration of light in the material at certain wavelengths.
In 10 years, solid-state batteries made from rock silicates will be an environmentally friendly, more efficient and safer alternative to the lithium-ion batteries we use today.
Visualizing the energy consumption profile of your embedded IoT device marks the initial step toward achieving low-power design and extended battery life. The subsequent step is analysis, where you can make a significant impact on your energy optimization efforts.
Solar energy, which is both abundant and free, is poised to become the world’s leading power source by 2050. That’s thanks largely to technological advances and the unbridled manufacturing of solar cells, which bodes well for a successful energy transition.
