    Josh de Wit, a second-year mechanical engineering student from the University of Sussex, has won the Autocar-Courland Next Generation Award for 2016 with a concept that could dramatically reduce charging times for electric vehicles (EVs) and reduce the weight of their batteries. Josh’s design harnesses the remarkable qualities of graphene, a form of pure carbon in sheets that are just one atom thick. A car battery made with stacked graphene, he says, would take far less time to charge, store more energy

    Two US security experts have demonstrated security flaws in a Jeep Cherokee by taking wireless control of its systems from ten miles away. Writing on technology website Wired, Andy Greenberg, who was driving the jeep at the time, tells how Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek first toyed with the vehicle’s air conditioning, entertainment system and windscreen wipers, before cutting the transmission and causing the jeep to slowly come to a halt. Greenberg says, “The most disturbing manoeuvre came when they
