DOI: 10.1016/j.jpowsour.2024.235961 The Solid State and Materials Research Group has come up with a lithium-ion capacitor using electrodes produced from wood particles that are discarded as waste in sawmills. This biomass is very easily available across the Basque Country, and sustainable, inexpensive processes have been used to produce electrodes. The results reveal that the materials derived from biomass have excellent properties for obtaining eco-friendly, cost-effective systems designed to store high-power energy. The paper is published in the Journal of Power Sources. In the quest for sustainable…

Row guidance, consisting of a camera system and an offset slide mechanism, ensures precise guidance of the hoe in between the crop rows or in fields on hilly terrain.The Horus Professional camera system ensures reliable recognition of the crop based on its position or, in 3D mode, based on the height differences. Recognition can also be provided by colour selection. The in-house developed SmartVision camera system guarantees reliable row guidance without manual readjustment thanks to its automatic slope correction, even on steep slopes. Both systems control the sliding frame in accordance with the forward speed. The operator can check the…

The federal government has been cracking down on healthcare giant UnitedHealth Group over the past year, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. For instance, the Department of Justice began an antitrust probe into the company last February, and then in March, HHS launched an investigation into the catastrophic cyberattack suffered by UnitedHealth subsidiary Change Healthcare. The DOJ also filed a lawsuit to block the UnitedHealth Group’s $3.3 billion acquisition of Amedisys in November. This week, the company faced two new investigations from federal lawmakers — the first being a senator’s probe into its Medicare Advantage billing practices, and…

For decades, European tech insiders have looked across the Atlantic with a mix of admiration and frustration. Casting envious eyes on the deep-pocketed VCs, an enormous consumer market, and a pipeline of elite talent, they often view the US as a promised land for business growth. The sentiment fuels calls for Europe to replicate Silicon Valley’s model. But Vidya Peters, CEO of Dutch unicorn DataSnipper, argues this approach is flawed. Rather than merely mimicking US tech, she urges startups and scaleups to embrace Europe’s strengths. A key one is sustainable, long-term growth. “Five years ago, it wasn’t very fashionable to be…
