National Technology Competition Launches for School Students Targeting Digital Innovations
20 May. 11:17The Ministry of Education of Turkmenistan, in partnership with the Party of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, has officially commenced an academic innovation tournament tailored for secondary school students. Strategically timed to coincide with the national Day of Science, the initiative is designed to identify and support young talent specializing in software development, applied robotics, and advanced automated engineering matrices.
The competitive framework is structured across three primary modern technological disciplines. Participants are invited to submit original designs within the "Smart City" category, featuring industrial automation through robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT). Dedicated sections are also available for mobile educational software architectures (EduTech) and digital platforms optimized to advance environmental conservation and sustainable economic practices (Eco-Tech).
According to the official administrative guidelines, enrollment requires the submission of distinct, individual projects, limiting each prospective candidate to a single scientific entry. The evaluation committee requires all conceptual blueprints and software codes to be delivered through secure institutional electronic mailing networks. The operational deadline for final project registration has been set for June 2, 2026.
Logistical oversight and candidate support are administered by a multi-agency committee comprising the School Department of the Ministry of Education and the Ashgabat City Committee of the SPPT. For technical specifications, structural criteria, and general inquiries, the organizing secretariat has made available the following communication channels: hotlines 22-74-07, 22-70-38, 44-86-85, alongside the official corporate emails: tbmmekbol@gmail.com and tstp.ashgabat22@gmail.com.

On-the-Go Power: Japanese Engineers Develop Wireless In-Road Charging for Electric Vehicles
10 Oct. 08:10In a major leap for electric mobility, Honda R&D, alongside Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec, has unveiled an innovative dynamic wireless charging system that charges electric vehicles as they drive. By embedding compact energy-transmitting modules directly into the road surface, the system transfers power via a magnetic field to receivers mounted underneath moving vehicles. Designed to withstand heavy commercial transport up to 20 tons, real-world road testing is scheduled to begin in Japan in April 2027.
The technology eliminates the need for full road reconstruction, as modules can be integrated directly into milled asphalt layers. Aimed at boosting charging power up to 150 kW in future iterations, this infrastructure solution promise to significantly reduce grid pressure on traditional charging stations, particularly for logistics and commercial fleets.
