A group of students in Singapore built a solar electric car with a 3D printed body. The car is mounted on a carbon fiber single shell chassis and has silicon solar cells that can be contoured to fit the car's shape. It is made out of lightweight plastic and can reach a top speed of 60 km/h, while maintaining low energy consumption. http://bit.ly/1CWLqNF

Google and the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) just launched the Little Box Challenge. Entrants are tasked with shrinking a kW-scale power inverter to 1/10th its size, an engineering feat that will reshape the future of electricity.

There is $1,000,000 with your name on it if you can best solve this challenge! Learn more here: https://www.littleboxchallenge.com/

Watch a robotic cube walk and balance under its own power Cubes aren't usually the go-to shape when creating an object that's meant to move around, but researchers in Switzerland have created one that can do just that — along with a handful of other...
