Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) introduces the first electrical motor applying carbon nanotube yarn. The material replaces copper wires in windings. The motor is a step towards lightweight, efficient electric drives. Its output power is 4
A new transmission device that uses magnetic levitation to almost completely eliminate friction and wear has been developed as part of the MAGDRIVE research project, a collaboration of seven European nations we looked at back in 2010.

Bicycle historians, take note – it's time once again to look back at 10 of the bike-related products that most caught our attention over the past year!
A punctured tire is the definition of a bad day, but Michelin is taking some of the sting out as it announces the opening of its newest North American plant, which the company says is the first in the world dedicated to the manufacture of airless tir
The battery-powered Renault Twizy is one of those vehicles that's hard to define. It's got four wheels, but it's not really a car (technically, it's a quadricycle).
This year's LA Auto Show had a little bit of everything that makes cars great ... horsepower, radical design, luxury, technology and more. After grinding our soles around the floor of the LA Convention Center, we bring you a bulging gallery of our fa
There's been no shortage of folding electric scooters covered here at Gizmag, but these have largely been the handiwork of spritely start-ups and idealistic entrepreneurs.
It looks like Local Motors is getting some company in the 3D-printed car arena. German electric vehicle manufacturer StreetScooter recently completed the prototype of its C16, most of the exterior components of which were created using a Stratasys Ob
The latest erosion of due process has just been proposed in Texas -- allowing the police to charge you with a crime and then charge your credit card on the spot.
Earlier this week, the first solar roadway opened in Amsterdam — a 70-meter stretch of cycle path between two suburbs of the city that generates solar power from rugged, textured glass-covered photovoltaic cells.
We're certainly seeing a lot of folding electric scooters lately, including models that can be carried in a backpack, go off-road, and feature rear-wheel steering.
Ever since we heard that Ken Block had rigged up a 1965 Mustang to send a nonsensical 845 horsepower to all four wheels, we've been eager to see it in action.
The world's first glow-in-the-dark bike path opened in Eindhoven City, The Netherlands on November 13. The route is split into five different round trips that measure 335 kilometers (280 miles) long in total.
