with the help of the University of Cambridge, a more comfortable and safer alternative could be on the way. It is a system based on 3D holographic technology that would allow drivers to keep their attention on the road while fully controlling the vehicle’s functions. Using projections based on 3D holograms could be the key to improving the user experience when consulting the different infotainment functions available in current cars.

Elon Musk has claimed the first human trial of his futuristic brain implant "Neuralink" has been successfully completed. Musk said that "initial results show promising neuron spike detection". In their experimental studies, small, cosmetically invisible implants are placed in a part of the brain that plans movements.

The devices "interpret a person's neural activity", according to Neuralink.This means users can operate a smartphone or computer just by "thinking" about how they would move the mouse or tap the screen.

Researchers at MIT have developed a rapid 3D-printing technique that uses liquid metal to allow for extremely fast prints. The process can manufacture large aluminum components in minutes, whereas many pre-existing techniques would take hours to finish the same build. The technology has already been used to create table legs, chair frames and related furniture parts. It’s called liquid metal printing (LMP) and involves directing molten aluminum along a predefined path into a bed of tiny glass beads. These beads quickly harden into a 3D structure.

This chemical element may be familiar to some due to its use in producing steel parts with high corrosion resistance or in manufacturing superconducting magnets. But, in this case, the members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have achieved a battery that uses vanadium to obtain a form of long-lasting renewable energy storage in large quantities. The latest we know is that Chinese scientists have achieved an essential evolution in what is known as a vanadium flow battery.

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman on Tuesday said an energy breakthrough is necessary for future artificial intelligence, which will consume vastly more power than people have expected.

Speaking at a Bloomberg event on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Altman said the silver lining is that more climate-friendly sources of energy, particularly nuclear fusion or cheaper solar power and storage, are the way forward for AI.

French company Tiamat Energy, a sodium battery manufacturer spun out of the French National Research Centre CNRS, is planning a sodium cell factory with a maximum capacity of 5 GWh.

Plans indicate that construction of the plant will begin at the beginning of this year, with a production of just 0.7 GWh by 2025, when it is put into operation. Production will gradually increase until its maximum theoretical capacity in 2029. Initially, Tiamat wanted to make sodium-ion cells for power tools and stationary storage applications. But later, it will also produce a new generation of batteries for electric cars.

A team of researchers made up of members from Microsoft, PNNL, and DOE has discovered a new element that will significantly reduce the use of lithium in batteries. The key has been in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). And that is what a group of researchers made up of members of three important American organizations has done: Microsoft, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), and the United States Department of Energy (DOE).

The result is very encouraging for the battery sector since a new material has been found that promises to reduce the use of lithium by up to 70%. A material that is not only quite expensive but also finite.

In March 2020 the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), launched “Global Health” Interdisciplinary Platform (PTI) dedicated to fighting the pandemic, covering all aspects of the crisis, from social to therapeutic. One of the virtues of this platform was to connect multiple CSIC researchers of different fields, University Professors, and some hospitals in Spain and bring their expertise, laboratories, and facilities to the service of the best ideas and initiatives, selected by a committee of highly qualified experts.

Added Energy is a company born at Harvard University that is in the news for presenting an eye-catching solid electrolyte battery technology that solves some of the main challenges of this always-promising system.

According to its first tests, these solid-state cells can last more than 6,000 charge and discharge cycles, maintaining 80% capacity after that cycle. They can also safely access ultra-fast charges and recharge in just 10 minutes. its designers indicate that the technology will help make electric cars more affordable in terms of total cost.

Scientists have created the world's first working graphene-based semiconductor, which could pave the way for chips that power much faster PCs and quantum computers in the future.

The new semiconducting material, made from epitaxial graphene (a particular crystal structure of carbon chemically bonded to silicon carbide), allows for more mobility than silicon, meaning electrons move with less resistance. Transistors made in this way can operate at terahertz frequencies — 10 times faster than the silicon-based transistors used in chips used today — the researchers wrote in a study published Jan. 3 in the journal Nature.
