After years of development, solar-powered car startup Aptera Motors just rolled its first vehicle off the assembly line, bringing their futuristic three-wheeled EV one giant step closer to the 50,000 customers waiting to drive one. The company aims to start deliveries later this year if final testing goes well.
A California startup just rolled its first solar-powered electric vehicle off an actual assembly line, bringing self-charging cars one major step closer to reality. After years of hand-building prototypes, Aptera Motors is now testing the process that could put 50,000 pre-ordered vehicles on the road.
A Norwegian company just made robot joints smaller, lighter, and more powerful with motors so thin they open up entirely new design possibilities. Engineers will get hands-on demos at Boston's Robotics Summit in May 2026.
Engineers can now print a fully functional electric motor in about three hours for 50 cents, potentially ending costly factory delays from broken parts. MIT researchers developed a breakthrough platform that prints complex machines using multiple materials in one step.
Electric vehicle maker Scout Motors is opening applications for its first assembly line workers at its new South Carolina plant, with jobs paying up to $37.50 per hour. No factory experience required.
Australian researchers built a tiny motor that spins using liquid metal flows instead of rigid parts, reaching 320 revolutions per minute. The breakthrough could revolutionize soft robotics and medical devices that need to bend, stretch, and move through tight spaces.
After three decades of manufacturing in India, Tata Motors just rolled out its one-millionth vehicle from its Lucknow facility. The milestone vehicle? A zero-emission electric bus.

The molecule successfully targets a previously hard-to-reach immune receptor, opening doors to safer anti-inflammatory therapies.
England's 2003 Rugby World Cup winner Lewis Moody is tackling motor neurone disease with renewed optimism after a specialist gave him something rare: hope. He's planning a 500-mile bike ride to turn that hope into action for others.
University of Queensland researchers have developed a breakthrough drug that could transform Motor Neurone Disease from a terminal diagnosis into a manageable chronic condition within five years. The discovery unlocks a previously untargetable immune receptor that plays a key role in neurodegenerative diseases.
The NRL bent its rules to give retiring player Jai Arrow an emotional final game after his motor neurone disease diagnosis. The tribute brought teammates and fans to tears as Arrow briefly took the field one more time.
After losing a beloved advocate to motor neurone disease, an Australian couple just made one of the largest charitable donations in the country's history. Quentin and Kylie Birt pledged $40 million to Fight MND, turning grief into hope for thousands of families facing the devastating illness. #
Queensland construction magnates pledged nearly $50 million to motor neurone disease research after witnessing tens of thousands rally at Melbourne's iconic charity event. Their generosity quadrupled after seeing the lasting impact of founder Neale Daniher and newly diagnosed NRL star Jai Arrow.
The king of premium e-bike motors just made a surprise move into lightweight city bikes. Bosch's new hub motor could bring smart features to thousands more commuters.
A Brisbane couple inspired by AFL legend Neale Daniher donated $40 million to motor neuron disease research, built from a business that started with one wheelbarrow and a Ford Falcon. Their gift represents one of Australia's largest charitable donations this year.
A California company just raised $11 million to manufacture the motors that power drones and robots right here in America. For decades, nearly every robotic motor came from China, but Westmag is changing that with a new factory already filling orders for hundreds of thousands of units.
After nearly two decades of development, the solar-powered Aptera electric vehicle has finally moved from hand-built prototypes to a real production line in San Diego. The three-wheeled car can generate up to 40 miles of free driving per day from sunlight alone.
Scientists in Japan developed an AI tool that reveals hidden energy waste inside electric motors, offering a path to make electric vehicles run longer and cleaner. The breakthrough could transform how we build sustainable transportation.
Researchers in Tokyo just proved that an overlooked sideways force in electricity can spin motors made entirely of plastic, no magnets required. This breakthrough could make future devices lighter, cheaper, and safer.
A new company in Ahmedabad is solving a century-old problem by building high-efficiency motors that don't rely on imported materials from China. Their innovation could make millions of Indian appliances cheaper to run while strengthening local manufacturing.
