Abound Solar offered $400 million conditional commitment for loan guarantee by U.S. Department of Energy

Hybrid and pure electric military vehicles are being rapidly developed and deployed around the world.

In previous articles in EVR we have described the new electric stunt plane from EADS in France and the production pure electric sport plane from in China. Here we wind the clock back a little to show how the early work on pure electric aircraft is spawning many other very different aircraft, a common factor being the use of lightweight lithium polymer batteries that need no metal enclosure.

Hybrid electric drive systems employ energy storage through high energy and power density batteries to supply vehicle systems and support the main engine at peak operation.

E Ink expands the marketplace for electronic reading with the introduction of E Ink Pearl, the next generation, easy-to-read electronic paper display with high contrast and sunlight readability.

This is what the fashion business has been waiting for! By now, small and medium sized retailers can benefit from the easy-to-use RFID technology. The detego® RFID Starter kit from RF-iT Solutions is the simple, cheap and extremely affordable way for putting that into effect.

New research could yield novel composites and touch-screen displays.

The effects of climate policies will require new fuels and energy systems. Ignoring these trends will make us less secure; leading the way can make us more secure. The challenges inherent in this suite of issues may be daunting, particularly at a time of economic crisis. Still, our experience informs us there is good reason for viewing this moment in history as an opportunity.

A curved solar tile that preserves the aesthetics of buildings when integrated into the roof is the first to meet the requirements of UL 1703 certification, the industry stamp of approval for product safety.

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Solarmer Energy, Inc., recently signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to collaborate on improving the lifetime of plastic solar cells, a promising new solar conversion technology.

The Western media obsess about electric cars to be made in the West, many of them being both overpriced and underperforming in global terms. This misses the fact that 56% of the value of sales of electric vehicles is and will remain in East Asia and cars only account for about half of the value of the electric vehicle business worldwide.
