The Real Reason Guardrails Can't Stop EVs in a Crash
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"The reality is, weight alone can’t explain it. Generally speaking, yes, vehicles have been getting heavier...EVs like the Rivian R1T, the GMC Hummer EV, and the Tesla Cybertruck aren't that much heavier than some well-optioned heavy-duty pickups"...the issue is really twofold...barriers only work if they’re able to absorb the energy from an impact, they're engineered to take those hits where most of a car's energy is concentrated..."
Electric vs. Gas: Why Your Electric Car Costs Less to Drive
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"Even when electricity costs more per unit than gasoline, electric vehicles can provide substantial annual savings due to their superior energy efficiency"Electric vehicles represent a more efficient use of energy resources compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. While electricity may cost slightly more per unit of energy than gasoline, the dramatic efficiency advantages of electric motors result in significantly lower operating costs per mile driven."
New EV battery Tech Could Power Cars For Up To 1 million Kilometers
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"New single-crystal battery design may allow EVs to last 1 million kilometers while reducing waste and environmental damage"The heart of the problem lies in how these batteries charge and discharge...repeated charging and discharging causes the crystals to break apart. This weakens the structure and reduces the battery's ability to hold a charge...Unlike their multi-crystal counterparts, single-crystal materials are more resistant to damage..."
China's Clean Air Could Be Behind an Acceleration in Global Warming
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"...new study reveals that reductions in air pollution – particularly in China and east Asia – are a key reason for this faster warming...There has already been a 75 percent reduction in east Asian sulphur dioxide emissions since around 2013"polluted air may have been masking the full effects of global warming. Cleaner air could now be revealing more of the human-induced global warming from greenhouse gases."
Cycling Can Be 4 Times More Efficient Than Walking. A Biomechanics Expert Explains Why
14 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"You can walk for an hour - or jump on your bicycle and arrive in 15 minutes, barely breaking a sweat."It's estimated that there are more than a billion bikes in the world. Cycling represents one of the most energy-efficient forms of transport ever invented
"When we walk or run, we essentially fall forward in a controlled manner...On a bicycle, your legs move through a much smaller, circular motion...The energy savings are immediately noticeable."

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.
