A technique for extracting rare elements from waste alloy metals is being developed by Aberdeenshire-based SEM and researchers from the University of Edinburgh, with funding from the Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre (IBioIC), a networking and support organisation based in Glasgow. When combined with steel, rare metals such as niobium, tantalum and rhenium are critical for the strength and stability of high-impact machinery.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

Sponsored by TE Connectivity. Within an electric vehicle (EV) battery system, the battery management system (BMS) is the electronic system that manages the battery pack and the cells. The BMS is critical for optimum battery performance and safety which means it must operate with a high degree of accuracy and reliability. It must be able to withstand the harsh environment it resides in yet remain compact, lightweight, and limit any additional bulk to the overall battery pack.
