Perovskite Solar ‘Stickers’ Are Almost Here: How Flexible Laminates Could Turn Walls, Cars & Roofs into Power Plants

A flexible perovskite module with WVTR ≈ 5.0 × 10⁻³ g/m²/day retained 84% of its power after 2,000 hours at 85°C/85% RH (Damp-Heat). Japan is subsidizing Sekisui Chemical to build a 100 MW film-type perovskite plant by 2027 to help reach about

Ceramic 3D Printing Revolution: How Technical Ceramics Are Being Transformed by Additive Manufacturing

Ceramic additive manufacturing is largely an indirect process where a printed green part is debinded and sintered, resulting in about 15–20% linear shrinkage (and up to 15–30% by volume). Binder Jetting can produce relatively large ceramic parts quickly, but post-sintering parts typically

  • General Motors confirms Apple Wallet car key support for GMC, Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac
    December 16, 2025, 10:18 AM EST. General Motors has confirmed plans to support Apple Wallet digital car keys across its brands, including GMC, Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac. The news follows findings that backend code flagged settings for GM vehicles, suggesting a near-term launch. Apple had previously said GM was one of 13 additional carmakers that would store digital keys in Apple Wallet. The feature enables several uses: Passive entry (unlock, start, and relock as you approach/leave), Proximity (unlock and start by holding your device near the door handle), and Remotely (lock/unlock and control features from the iPhone). GM has also updated its in-car experience, adding an Apple Music app after signaling a downgrade of CarPlay in its systems. Timelines and supported models remain unspecified.
