The strange quantum phenomenon known as entanglement can link atoms and other particles together so that they can influence one another instantaneously, regardless of distance. New research suggests it’s possible to take advantage of entanglement for significantly more accurate and faster quantum sensors that could support satellite navigation technologies like GPS. Quantum sensors rely on… Continue reading Entangled Atoms Lead to Ultraprecise Quantum Sensors

From Hockey Enforcer to High-Flying eVTOL CEO
Kyle Clark, the 43-year-old founder and CEO of Beta Technologies, is not quite your typical tech entrepreneur. For one thing, he’s a former professional ice hockey player. Then, too, many afternoons you won’t find him behind a desk at the company’s headquarters near the airport in Burlington, Vt. In fact, you won’t find him on… Continue reading From Hockey Enforcer to High-Flying eVTOL CEO
Where Are All the Solar-Powered Cars?
If you doubt that a car can absorb a lot of solar power, try sitting in one after it has baked for a while in a parking lot. Whether parked or on the road, our vehicles spend a lot of time in the sunshine. So why don’t more of them harvest power from it? Ambient… Continue reading Where Are All the Solar-Powered Cars?
U.S. Agency Seeks Better Maps of Earth’s Magnetic Field
The World Magnetic Model is essential for navigation. The model, which compiles precise measurements of Earth’s magnetic field at points across the globe into one map, provides data on the constantly shifting magnetic field. But the current system for collecting that vital data is getting old. Now, a U.S. intelligence agency is in the final… Continue reading U.S. Agency Seeks Better Maps of Earth’s Magnetic Field
Arc Boats Takes a Page from Tesla
Mitch Lee can tick off the many environmental advantages of electric boats versus ICE counterparts that rule the waves: No exhaust fumes and pollution. No oil slicks trailing in the wake. No guzzling of pricey marine fuel at 2 kilometers-per-liter or less. But with all respect to the Sierra Club, Arc Boats isn’t in business… Continue reading Arc Boats Takes a Page from Tesla

Toyota Teases Solid-State Batteries in 2027
Toyota, the world’s largest automaker, has released what it calls a “roadmap” of its advanced battery future for electric vehicles. Whether Toyota will faithfully follow that map or take a detour to its favored hybrid or fuel-cell tech remains an open question. The one-time darling of environmentalists, Toyota has lately faced sharp criticism for fence-straddling… Continue reading Toyota Teases Solid-State Batteries in 2027
Tower of Power Charges EVs, No Grid Required
The world’s transition to electric cars sounds daunting enough, without even considering upstream challenges such as beefing up a creaky electric grid and connecting that grid to a U.S. national target of 25 million EVs by 2030 (and a similarly ambitious set of goals worldwide). So, to that end, a simple-yet-patented idea has been spun… Continue reading Tower of Power Charges EVs, No Grid Required

MIT Looks Ahead to Hydrogen’s Aviation Future
This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. As investment in hydrogen-powered flight expands, airports and air carriers today are realizing that it’s not enough to retrofit or design new planes for hydrogen power. So while researchers and companies large and small invest in the zero-carbon future… Continue reading MIT Looks Ahead to Hydrogen’s Aviation Future
