Energy positive family carStella Lux, the energy positive family car. This means Stella Lux is so efficient that she generates more energy than she consumes during the entire year, even in Dutch weather conditions! The aerodynamic design has an important role in this: consider, for example, the tunnel which runs through the center of the car. Furthermore, Stella Lux has an extended roof on both sides of the car. Because of this, we were able to place another row of solar panels on the car. Stella Lux was designed to be extremely light by using materials like carbon fibre and aluminium. Intelligent carStella Lux is an intelligent car. For example, it contains a innovative energy management system: the Solar Navigator. By collecting the current weather data Solar Navigator gives suggestions for the optimal route. Furthermore Stella Lux is synchronized with your smartphone, because of this Stella Lux is up to date about your appointments during the day. You won’t have to fill in your destination anymore and Stella Lux knows exactly how much energy can be charged to your household. You will never have to think about the energy distribution again and you’re able to drive carefree. By combining the flexible screen layout of a tablet and haptic buttons, we developed Layr. By scrolling the tangible bar over the screen applications are maximized or minimized. Three gaps in the bar direction your fingers to the right spot, so you won’t have to look at the touchscreen to operate it. Because of this Layr increases safety. Stella Lux communicates with other cars on the road. For example, the music volume automatically turns down when an ambulance is approaching. ComfortableNo other solar car has the same comfort as Stella Lux. The door needs to be unlocked to gain acces to this interior which happens automatically when Stella Lux detects your smartphone nearby. The door itself is part of the seat which gives you a spacious interior experience. The seats are equipped with comfortable textile in combination with lightweight pillows so you are able to enjoy maximum comfort. The rest of the interior is designed with bright colors and materials. This gives the interior of Stela Lux an open and bright appearance. The moodlights that are cleverly installed thorough the entire car makes you imagine you are driving in a [CENSORED]uristic mini-lounge.

The promise of a tire that never needs air but still affordably offers a long period of usefulness on the road is the dream of many commuters. It's also a problem that companies are still trying to crack with some slow progress. For example, the Michelin Tweel is in production for commercial applications, and Polaris offers the TerrainArmor on an ATV. Hankook and its iFlex non-pneumatic tire concept is the latest attempt to bring the technology a little closer towards production for cars. Hankook believes that the iFlex non-pneumatic tires can do everything a traditional one can. Unfortunately, the company isn't going into too many specifics about how everything works at this time. The prototype reportedly completed successful tests of its ride, handling, and high-speed driving abilities, though. The Korean tire maker has been trying to make the non-pneumatic tire concept work well on passenger vehicles for years. The iFlex was actually the company's fifth prototype for the idea, and one major change for the latest one was a switch to a more environmentally friendly construction material. The change meant production was less energy intensive and recycling was easier. Hankook was also able to cut manufacturing down to four steps, rather than eight before. However, the business isn't saying if actual mass production of a consumer version is on the way anytime soon.

The world's most perfect food may have just arrived Researchers from Oregon State University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center say they’ve created and patented a new type of seaweed that has the potential to be sold commercially as the next big superfood. The reason? It tastes just like bacon, they claim. The bizarre but tasty creation is actually a new strain of red marine algae called dulse that is packed full of minerals and protein and looks like red lettuce. Dulse normally grows in the wild along the Pacific and Atlantic coastlines and is harvested, dried and sold as a cooking ingredient or nutritional supplement. “Dulse is a superfood, with twice the nutritional value of kale,” said Chuck Toombs, a faculty member in OSU’s College of Business and a member of the team working to develop the product into a foodstuff. “And OSU had developed this variety that can be farmed, with the potential for a new industry for Oregon.” The team began researching ways of farming the new strain of dulse to feed abalone, but they quickly realized its potential to do well in the human-food market. “There hasn’t been a lot of interest in using it in a fresh form. But this stuff is pretty amazing,” said chief researcher Chris Langdon. “When you fry it, which I have done, it tastes like bacon, not seaweed. And it’s a pretty strong bacon flavor.” They’ve received a grant from the Oregon Department of Agriculture to explore dulse as a “special crop” and are working with the university’s Food Innovation Center in Portland and several chefs to find out ways dulse could be used as a main ingredient. Though there is currently no commercial operation that grows dulse for human consumption in the U.S., the team is confident the seaweed superfood could make it big. If it really does taste like bacon, that would be no surprise at all.

Neuroscientists at Duke University have introduced a new paradigm for brain-machine interfaces that investigates how the brains of two or more animals (either monkeys or rats) can be networked to work together as part of a single computational system to perform motor tasks (in the case of monkeys) or simple computations (multiple rat brains). These functional networks of animal brains have been named Brainets by the authors of the studies. In the two Brainet examples reported in the July 9th 2015 issue of Scientific Reports, groups of animals were able to literally merge their collective brain activity together to either control the movements of a virtual avatar arm in three dimensions to reach a target (monkey Brainet), or to perform a variety of computational operations (rat Brainet), including pattern recognition, storage and retrieval of sensory information and even weather forecasting. These latter examples suggest that animal Brainets could serve as the core of organic computers that employ a hybrid digital-analog computational architecture. Video and Images for Computing Arm Movements with a Monkey Brainet In this movie, three monkeys are sharing control over the movement of a virtual arm in 3D space. Each monkey contributes to 2 of the 3 axes (X, Y and Z). Monkey C contributes to y- and z-axes (red dot), Monkey M contributes to x- and y-axes (blue dot), and Monkey K contributes to y- and z-axes (green dot). The contribution of the two monkeys to each axes is averaged to determine the arm position (represented by the black dot). Images for Building an organic computing device with multiple interconnected brains Experimental apparatus scheme for a Brainet computing device. A) A Brainet of four interconnected brains is shown. The arrows represent the flow of information through the Brainet. Inputs were delivered as simultaneous ICMS patterns to the S1 cortex of each rat. Neural activity was then recorded and analyzed in real time. Rats were required to synchronize their neural activity with the remaining of the Brainet to receive water Inputs to the Brainet were delivered as ICMS patterns to the left S1, while outputs were calculated using the neural responses recorded from the right S1. C) Brainet architectures were set to mimic hidden layers of an artificial neural network. D) Examples of perievent histograms of neurons after the delivery of ICMS.

Imagine a fabric that will keep your body at a comfortable temperature—regardless of how hot or cold it actually is. That’s the goal of an engineering project at the University of California, San Diego, funded with a $2.6M grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E). Wearing this smart fabric could potentially reduce heating and air conditioning bills for buildings and homes. The project, named ATTACH (Adaptive Textiles Technology with Active Cooling and Heating), is led by Joseph Wang, distinguished professor of nanoengineering at UC San Diego. By regulating the temperature around an individual person, rather than a large room, the smart fabric could potentially cut the energy use of buildings and homes by at least 15 percent, Wang noted. “In cases where there are only one or two people in a large room, it’s not cost-effective to heat or cool the entire room,” said Wang. “If you can do it locally, like you can in a car by heating just the car seat instead of the entire car, then you can save a lot of energy.” The smart fabric will be designed to regulate the temperature of the wearer’s skin—keeping it at 93° F—by adapting to temperature changes in the room. When the room gets cooler, the fabric will become thicker. When the room gets hotter, the fabric will become thinner. To accomplish this feat, the researchers will insert polymers that expand in the cold and shrink in the heat inside the smart fabric. “Regardless if the surrounding temperature increases or decreases, the user will still feel the same without having to adjust the thermostat,” said Wang. “93° F is the average comfortable skin temperature for most people,” added Renkun Chen, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at UC San Diego, and one of the collaborators on this project. Chen’s contribution to ATTACH is to develop supplemental heating and cooling devices, called thermoelectrics, that are printable and will be incorporated into specific spots of the smart fabric. The thermoelectrics will regulate the temperature on “hot spots”—such as areas on the back and underneath the feet—that tend to get hotter than other parts of the body when a person is active. “This is like a personalized air-conditioner and heater,” said Chen.
