In ten minutes, new Toshiba cells can charge an electric bus to 80 percent.

A prototype electric bus that runs on next-generation SCiB batteries was unveiled by Toshiba Corporation and two other businesses.

Just ten minutes are needed to charge the new, incredibly long-lasting energy storage device to 80%.

The battery can lower capital costs and operating expenses for cars that are entirely electric, hybrid, light, and heavy.

Along with increasing operating rate, it reduces the risk of explosions and fires. For quicker acceleration, the battery also provides greater power.

Toshiba’s SCiB Nb cells are temperature-adaptable. The battery’s weak energy density, which might reach more than 200 Wh/l, was present in the previous model.

But the upcoming SCiB battery generation has an energy density of 350 Wh/l, which is 50% higher. Upcoming urban electric transportation is supported by the battery.

Toshiba’s cells have been used in a number of electric vehicles before, but since they can function well in temperatures ranging from -22 to 140°F (from -30 to +60°C), these new cells may prove helpful for electric buses or massive trucks.

Moreover, these batteries have the advantage of being extremely fast charging.

Toshiba predicts that a new SCiB Nb battery will be available by 2025.

The ultra-fast charging prototype electric bus, which is driven by next-generation lithium-ion batteries with NTO anodes, was unveiled by Toshiba, Sojitz, and CBMM on June 20 at CBMM’s industrial site in Araxá, Brazil.

By using a lithium-ion battery containing niobium titanium oxide (NTO) in the anode, a prototype e-vehicle is now operating for the first time in history, significantly advancing the commercialization of batteries.

When compared to graphite-based anodes, NTO has twice their theoretical volume density.

As they work towards introducing the next-generation lithium-ion battery with NTO anode to the global market in the spring of 2025, the three businesses will continue to collaborate to make the most use of their unique technologies and knowledge.

“Toshihiko Takaoka, vice president of Toshiba Corporation’s Battery Division, remarked, “I am really thrilled to see an E-bus outfitted with our NTO battery, SCiB Nb.”

Toshiba and CBMM and Sojitz have collaborated to produce an NTO battery that has a high energy density and a rapid recharge, thereby implementing the practical usage of niobium in battery material applications. To increase the variety and scope of our SCiBTM battery offerings, we will persist in our development efforts.

Instagram releases a kid-focused feature.

With the help of this new Instagram function, parents will have more control over what their kids do online.

New users between the ages of 13 and 15 will have their Teen Accounts enabled immediately, while current users in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia will be gradually transferred to the new accounts over the course of the following 60 days.

Important characteristics of teen accounts

Teen accounts are by default set to private, which limits the display of their posts to authorized followers and keeps non-followers from getting in touch with them.

Restrictions on Teen Messaging: To minimize unwanted encounters, teens are only able to message people they follow or already have a connection with.

Control of Sensitive Content: Tight settings will prevent exposure to potentially dangerous content, like advertisements for cosmetic procedures or violent content.

Parental Control: Guardians can keep an eye on their offspring’s internet behavior, such as direct messaging and content intake.

Positive Content: By allowing teenagers to research interests, like sports, music, or the arts, they can enhance their online experience.

Extra protection

Reminding teenagers to take breaks after 60 minutes of app use is part of the daily limit.

Sleep mode: To encourage sound sleep habits, automatically mute notifications between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Using artificial intelligence to power age verification, underage individuals can be identified and moved to teen accounts.

Asif Ali hopes to be called up for Pakistan after a great Champions Cup performance.

In yesterday’s 92-run defeat against Markhors, Asif Ali, who is playing for the Dolphins under Saud Shakeel, scored a fast half-century.

Asif stated in an interview with a local news station that he wanted to do well enough throughout the competition to possibly earn a spot back on the national squad.

He also disclosed that, prior to making his international debut, he batted at number four in domestic cricket but was forced to settle for number six. The energetic batter had a new task because of the
in batting order.

Asif stated, “Going from No. 4 to No. 6 is not easy.” “It’s critical to train properly for your position in international cricket. It can be challenging to drop to a lower position at the international level if you’re used to playing higher up the order at home.

He talked candidly about the Dolphins’ defeat against the Markhorses as well, stating that given the pitch conditions, he would not have chosen to field first.

“Batting was challenging because the pitch favored bowlers in the latter parts of the game,” he remarked. Because of the early dampness, the Dolphins’ management decided to field first.

He then on, “If they had asked me, I would have told them to bat first and not fall for that.”

Report: Solar is expected to set new records this year.

Published

In 2023, there was an expected 87% increase in growth. This year’s increase is 29% over the previous one, according to the research.

The cheapest source of electricity globally is solar power, and as such, it is expanding quicker than many anticipated, according to Euan Graham, an Ember electricity data analyst.

Ember estimates demonstrate the rapid growth of solar energy: in 2024 alone, new solar capacity will surpass the 540 GW of additional coal power added globally since 2010.

Expected to add 334 GW, or 56 percent of the global total in 2024, China continues to lead the globe in this industry.

According to the survey, it is followed by the US, India, Germany, and Brazil. These five nations will account for 75% of the new solar capacity in 2024.

According to the research, maintaining the sector’s growth required grid capacity and battery storage.

“Providing enough grid capacity and developing battery storage is critical for handling electricity distribution and supporting solar outside of peak sunlight hours as solar becomes more inexpensive and accessible,” the statement stated.

“Solar power might continue to surpass forecasts for the remainder of the decade if these issues are resolved and development is sustained.”
