MSR-Electronic - Worldwide Methane Gas Monitoring in over 300 Biogas Plants

The idea is as simple as it is ingenious: Mix the unloved liquid manure with corn silage, let bacteria work and use the methane gas produced to generate electricity and heat. Renewable energy sources are inexhaustible. In times of scarce energy resources and climate change, the focus is on new energy sources. Biogas has proven to be a very good alternative in natural energy production.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?
