For UK battery startup NyoBolt, six seems to be the magic number. First, in June it showcased an EV that could be fully charged in just six minutes (a claimed record). And today it unveiled a new kind of supercharger that can also be recharged in — you guessed it — six minutes.  Dubbed Bolt-ee, it essentially looks like a four-wheeled metal box with an interactive touchscreen for a face. Unlike fixed charging stations, this fast-charging, direct current, 300kW device is fully mobile.  “Bolt-ee can reach a parked vehicle in any bay, delivering up to 100 miles of range in…

French startup Circular claims to have created the world’s thinnest and lightest smart ring — as well as the first-ever to use haptic navigation. The wearable, named the Circular Ring Slim, became available on pre-order today. Weighing just 2 grams and measuring a mere 2.2 mm in thickness, the device packs big features into a tiny frame. To analyse the user’s health, the ring assesses seven biometrics and 142 derived markers. These markers are captured by a suite of sensors. One is a simple surface temperature sensor. Another is a three-axis accelerometer count, which assesses activity and movement. Then there…

With cybercrime on the rise across the UK and more SMEs being targeted, security is more important than ever before. Even if you believe your business is secure from data leaks and cyberattacks, if you’re not able to demonstrate this to potential clients, your sales team could be missing out on growth-driving deals. This is especially the case for enterprise clients that often require potential partners to demonstrate compliance with some of the key measures such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2.

People have been harnessing tidal energy for milling grain for more than 1,000 years. As you’d imagine though, today’s contraptions for tapping this 24/7 power source are a little more sophisticated.  One of the most eye-catching designs to emerge in recent years is a giant metal ‘kite’ which swims underwater against the current, turning its rotor and generating electricity. Power is then sent to the grid via a subsea cable which also acts as the kite’s tether.  The biggest of these kites ever built, known as Dragon 12, is about to be installed off the Faroe Islands. With a wingspan…
