Super stable garnet ceramics may be ideal for high-energy lithium batteries Posted: 21 Oct 2014 10:01 AM PDT Scientists have discovered exceptional properties in a garnet material that could enable development of higher-energy battery designs.

Getting the salt out: Electrodialysis can provide cost-effective treatment of salty water from fracked wells Posted: 21 Oct 2014 08:14 AM PDT The boom in oil and gas produced through hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is seen as a boon for meeting U.S. energy needs. But one byproduct of the process is millions of gallons of water that's much saltier than seawater, after leaching salts from rocks deep below the surface. Now researchers say they have found an economical solution for removing the salt from this water.

• Researchers take big-data approach to estimate range of electric vehicles
• First driverless vehicles for public launched in Singapore
• Driving by pointing: pieDrive system simplifies controlling the most up-to-date vehicles

Researchers take big-data approach to estimate range of electric vehicles Posted: 21 Oct 2014 07:15 AM PDT Researchers have developed new software that estimates how much farther electric vehicles can drive before needing to recharge. The new technique requires drivers to plug in their destination and automatically pulls in data on a host of variables to predict energy use for the vehicle.

First driverless vehicles for public launched in Singapore Posted: 21 Oct 2014 07:09 AM PDT For the first time, two SMART-NUS enhanced driverless buggies to ferry passengers, free-of-charge, around Chinese and Japanese Gardens, as part of the Smart and Connected Jurong Lake District Pilots and Trials initiative.

Driving by pointing: pieDrive system simplifies controlling the most up-to-date vehicles Posted: 21 Oct 2014 05:51 AM PDT An increasing number of assistance systems are being designed to facilitate driving. Things are heading towards automated driving. What role does the person behind the steering wheel play? Scientists have now developed "pieDrive", an interactive operating concept for vehicles of the future.
