Comparing a Formula 1 engine to that of a run-of-the-mill Camry is like comparing the SR-71 to a Cessna. One's tailored for mass-market appeal while the other is about precision at any cost, and both ...

Scientists have developed a window that uses a semi-transparent amorphous silicon PV layer. The group tested the system in London at different inclination angles and found it can achieve a maximum ...

Kyle Hyatt (he/him/his) hails originally from the Pacific Northwest, but has long called Los Angeles home. He's had a lifelong obsession with cars and motorcycles (both old and new). One of the cool ...

Learn how passive design strategies improve thermal performance through orientation, ventilation, roof windows, and daylight ...

Dongfeng’s new 2.0-liter hybrid engine reaches 45.5% thermal efficiency, marking a major step forward in combustion tech.

If you never knew that Geely made the internal combustion engine (ICE) with the world's highest thermal efficiency, do not feel guilty. I tried to let people know about it in August 2022, when the ...

Mazda’s Skyactiv-X compression ignition engine is pushing the limits of what is possible with a mass-market automobile engine, but the Japanese automaker evidently believes HCCI is but the beginning.

Harnessing quantum states that avoid thermalization enables energy harvesters to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits such as Carnot efficiency, report researchers from Japan. The team developed a ...

Geely is about to launch a new hybrid sedan with the world’s highest thermal efficiency and highest fuel efficiency.

When the technologies developed under the SuperTruck I (shown) initiative hit the market, they are projected to reduce CO2 emissions by 33% from the 2009 baseline. SuperTruck II demonstrates a further ...
