US Firm Bids To Bring 'Flying Boats' to Scottish Islands Transport Network
21 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
US firm Regent is partnering with Scotland’s Hitrans to explore using electric "flying boats" called Seagliders for island transport. These vessels combine boat, hydrofoil, and low-altitude flight technologies, reaching speeds up to 180 mph. A 12-passenger model may launch in Orkney by 2026–2027, with a larger version planned for 2030. The project aims to improve connectivity and reduce emissions across the Highlands and Islands.The Electric Bus You Thought Was Dead - But Isn't
19 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Modern trolleybuses using in-motion charging (IMC) are making a comeback as cost-effective, grid-friendly alternatives to battery-electric buses. They charge via overhead wires and run off-wire using small batteries, reducing infrastructure and maintenance costs. Ideal for dense, hilly cities or those with legacy systems, they face funding and public perception challenges but offer strategic advantages in urban transit electrification.European Study Finds E-bikes Carry A Much Greater Crash Risk Than E-scooters
19 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A new study from Chalmers University, featured in Air Quality News, finds that e-bikes pose a significantly higher crash risk than e-scooters—over eight times greater when accounting for exposure factors like trip distance and duration. The research analyzed GPS data from shared micromobility services across seven European cities, offering a more accurate comparison than previous studies. The authors call for better data-driven safety policies. Electric Aquaculture Boats Splash Into Waters Off the Coast of Rural Maine
19 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Electric fishing boat Heron launched in rural Maine, powered by twin electric outboards and backed by $1M in grants. Operated by Maine Ocean Farms, it cuts emissions, noise, and fuel costs. The shift supports climate goals amid warming Gulf waters. Challenges include battery weight and limited charging, but local groups are expanding infrastructure. Heron signals a sustainable future for aquaculture and rural marine industries.Wired Wings: Flying the Bristell B23 Energic Electric Aircraft
19 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
The Bristell B23 Energic, an all-electric trainer aircraft from BRM Aero and H55, offers smooth handling, low operating costs ($8–$9/hr), and a 60-minute flight time under EASA rules. FAA limits U.S. flights to 40 minutes due to stricter reserves, but upgrades are planned. Despite reduced payload from battery weight, performance rivals piston aircraft. Its success signals growing momentum in electric aviation.

Unlocking Heat's Hidden Potential: How a Nanoscale Discovery Could Transform Everyday Tech
24 Oct 2025 | 
A recent nanoscale physics breakthrough reveals heat can transfer across tiny gaps far more efficiently than expected - up to 100 times greater than classical predictions. This could revolutionize cooling and energy systems in electronics, EVs, and smart appliances. While engineering challenges remain, early applications may emerge within 3-5 years, with broader consumer adoption possible in the next decade. The future of heat management may be silent, solid-state, and radically efficient.
Turning the Energy Crunch into a Smart Grid Revolution
24 Oct 2025 | 
America's energy crunch is not about supply - it's about coordination. Virtual power plants and vehicle-to-grid systems offer a scalable, software-driven solution to rising demand from AI, EVs, and climate volatility. By turning homes, vehicles, and businesses into active grid assets, and aligning policy with technology, the U.S. can build a smarter, more resilient energy future without building more power plants. The tools exist - now it's time to connect them.
Auto Retail in 2025: Bridging the Trust Gap Between Dealers and Buyers
24 Oct 2025 | 
The 2025 Urban Science and Harris Poll report reveals a growing disconnect between dealers and buyers. While dealers embrace EVs, AI, and digital tools, many buyers remain cautious - especially about full electrification and online-only retail. Brand loyalty is weakening, and policy clarity is key to adoption. The future of auto retail depends on bridging trust, flexibility, and infrastructure gaps.
Electric Icons in the Making: Audi Concept C vs. Chevrolet Corvette EV
23 Oct 2025 | 
Audi's Concept C previews a refined electric GT built on the mature PPE platform, likely arriving by 2026. Chevrolet's Corvette EV promises supercar performance but faces packaging and thermal challenges. Audi is closer to production; Corvette remains in early development. Both reflect divergent strategies in electrifying legacy sports cars, with Audi emphasizing platform maturity and Chevrolet pursuing brand continuity through engineering innovation.
Electrification Is Not an Oversimplification
23 Oct 2025 | 
Despite critiques that the quest for global electrification is "simplistic", the transition is strategic and necessary. Grid upgrades, battery innovation, and tailored policies make electrification viable. Sodium-ion batteries and recycling reduce material risk. Compared to fossil fuels, electrification offers cleaner, safer, and more resilient systems. Complexity demands better design - not delay.
