The Washington Post reports the Maryland Transportation Authority has recommended knocking down both the eastbound and westbound spans of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and replacing them with new, potentially wider, spans.
The airline says it will continue to operate while it restructures its debt. ...
New York City's 2019 ride-hailing surcharge cut overall taxi and ride-share trips by 11 percent in Manhattan but failed to reduce traffic congestion, a key goal of the policy, according to a new NYU Tandon School of Engineering study published in Transportation Research Part A.鈥淲hile this surcharge differs from the MTA's proposed congestion pricing plan, the study's findings can contribute to the current discourse,鈥� said Daniel Vignon, who led the research.
An architectural project in Sutton aims to tackle the housing crisis while promoting sustainable development and social inclusion.
Batteries in electric vehicles can fail quickly, sometimes catching fire without much warning. Sandia National Laboratories is working to detect these failures early and provide sufficient warning time to vehicle occupants.
How do you electrify a populous city鈥檚 transit without destabilizing its grid? New research into Beijing鈥檚 27,000-bus system explores using depots to generate a solar power.
Dr. Nathan Johnson, a systems engineering professor at Arizona State University and an expert in innovative energy solutions. He shares his vision for a sustainable energy future and outlines his team鈥檚 six-step approach to renewable energy projects.
鈥淭ell me the numbers, I鈥檒l take care of the politics.鈥� Shashi Nambisan, director of the Transportation Research Center (TRC) at UNLV, recalled a pivotal discussion in the early 1990s with then-County Commissioner Bruce L. Woodbury about the transportation needs of a region on the precipice of substantial growth.

Irvine, Calif., Oct. 31, 2024 鈥� By creating a new way for light and matter to interact, researchers at the University of California, Irvine have enabled the manufacturing of ultrathin silicon solar cells that could help spread the energy-converting technology to a vast range of applications, including thermoelectric clothing and onboard vehicle and device charging.
The Department of Transportation said the final federal rule went into effect on Monday, coming ahead of a busy upcoming holiday travel season. ...
Lithium-sulfur batteries have never lived up to their potential as the next generation of renewable batteries for electric vehicles and other devices. But 鈥婼MU mechanical engineer Donghai Wang and his research team have found a way to make these Li-S batteries last longer 鈥� with higher energy levels 鈥� than existing renewable batteries. The research team has been able to prevent Li-S batteries from producing an unwanted side effect known as polysulfide dissolution that appears over time, shortening their lifespan.
Originally developed for electric cars, nowadays they supply mobile phone antennas with electricity, and tomorrow perhaps entire districts: The salt battery is a safe and long-lasting battery technology with huge potential. Empa researchers are collaborating with an industrial partner to further develop these special batteries.
