| Engineers develop algorithms to switch out and recharge battery modules in electric cars Posted: 17 Sep 2014 10:18 AM PDT Imagine being able to switch out the batteries in electric cars just like you switch out batteries in a photo camera or flashlight. A team of engineers are trying to accomplish just that, in partnership with an engineering company. They have developed smaller units within the battery, called modules, and a battery management system that will allow them to swap out and recharge the modules. |

| 'Smart material' chin strap harvests energy from chewing Posted: 17 Sep 2014 04:32 AM PDT A chin strap that can harvest energy from jaw movements has been created by a group of researchers in Canada. It is hoped that the device can generate electricity from eating, chewing and talking, and power a number of small-scale implantable or wearable electronic devices, such as hearing aids, cochlear implants, electronic hearing protectors and communication devices. |
