A joint research team—led by Ki-Jae Kim, a professor in the Department of Energy Science and the Department of Future Energy Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), alongside Jang Wook Choi's research team from Seoul National University—has developed a high-performance hybrid polymer binder for thick-film electrodes. The breakthrough significantly boosts the... Read more

A specially modified Airbus A350 plane touched down in France on Tuesday after a record 24-hour test flight from Australia, ahead of joining Qantas' fleet next year.... Read more

As the need for sustainable electric vehicles grows, cobalt-free, high-nickel cathode batteries (such as manganese-coated nickel-core batteries) have emerged as one of the most promising technologies. These batteries increase driving range while reducing dependence on expensive critical minerals. However, a new study suggests that a hidden weakness in the battery... Read more

Airbus and Boeing presented differing outlooks for their commercial aircraft in coming years as the aviation sector gathered near London for this week's Farnborough airshow.... Read more

A KAIST research team has developed a method capable of detecting minute variations in battery electrode thickness that can contribute to thermal runaway with a precision equivalent to approximately one ten-thousandth of the diameter of a human hair, all without disassembling or damaging the battery. The technology is expected to... Read more

The Lexus ES and Mercedes-Benz CLA are two luxury sedans you might be familiar with. The ES is Lexus' comfort-oriented midsize sedan, while the CLA is a relatively affordable entry point to getting a new Mercedes. Notably, both are redesigned for 2026 and come in both gas-powered and fully electric... Read more

Every year from June to September, India experiences the monsoon season. While the visible heavy rainfall often takes the blame for many roads requiring repairs much sooner than expected, a far less visible yet critical force is at play long before the first raindrop falls on the road....

Aviation is one of the fastest-growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions, generating around 14% of transport emissions—second only to road transport. It is also one of the world's hardest-to-decarbonize industries. Unlike conventional jet fuel, hydrogen produces no direct carbon dioxide emissions during operation and, when generated from renewable energy sources,... Read more

Teaching an AI to navigate a ship is far more challenging than teaching it to drive a car. In busy waterways such as Japan's Seto Inland Sea, vessels must safely negotiate dense traffic, narrow channels, hundreds of islands and ever-changing conditions while complying with navigation rules....

With its extended, foldable "wing of tomorrow" unveiled Tuesday at the Farnborough Airshow, Airbus is moving closer to the 2030 launch of its new single-aisle aircraft, Bruno Fichefeux, head of future programs at Airbus, told AFP.... Read more

A Dutch student team on Tuesday unveiled what it believes to be the world's first solar-powered ambulance, which it hopes can bring much-needed medical care to the remotest parts of the globe.... Read more

At least 2.2 million cars on the road today are vulnerable to an attack that allows thieves to lock and unlock doors and immobilize vehicle engines remotely via a Bluetooth connection, computer scientists at the University of California San Diego have found.... Read more

A research team led by Professor Jo Woon Chong of the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), in collaboration with researchers from KAIST and Texas Tech University in the United States, has developed the Passenger Movement Estimation System (PMES). This AI-based system predicts passenger movements using... Read more

If producing electric vehicles (EVs) were an Olympic sport, China would dominate the medal podium. China now leads the world in the sale and export of EVs, a term encompassing everything from battery-powered cars to plug-in hybrids. Chinese companies also produce the lion's share of the rechargeable batteries that keep... Read more

West Virginia University researchers say driving anxiety, one of the most common phobias, is triggered by a variety of circumstances that can lead to panic attacks and avoidance of the open road during the summer travel season and at other times of the year.... Read more
