Audi RS Q e-tron is a fuel-electric series hybrid made for the Dakar cross-desert race, which finishes today. In series hybrids, all drive is via electricity, there is no rotating mechanical link between heat engine and wheels. Just like a diesel-electric railway train, the intervening electric drive allows the fuel engine to run continuously at ...

Researchers at Austrian university TU Wien (Vienna) have created a simple and compact source of terahertz radiation, claiming that radiates significantly more power than similar devices: 10μW at its 525GHz fundamental and 70μW at 330GHz. There are various ways to generate terahertz waves. TU Wien lists cryogenic quantum cascade lasers for high intensities, or down-conversion ...
