Turkmenistan Hosts International Scientific Conference on Advanced Chemical Technologies
15 May. 12:37The Institute of Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan served as the venue for a high-level international scientific conference titled "Chemistry and Chemical Technologies: Achievements and Future Perspectives." Held in a hybrid format, the forum aimed to foster international academic cooperation and drive innovation within the chemical sector.
The event attracted a diverse group of prominent domestic scientists, professors, and industry experts. The international scientific community showed significant interest, with researchers and institutional representatives from Japan, China, Switzerland, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan participating remotely via digital communication platforms to share their latest findings.
A key focus of the plenary sessions was Turkmenistan's extensive raw material base, particularly its vast hydrocarbon and hydromineral reserves. Speakers highlighted that substantial capital investments in recent years have facilitated the establishment of world-class gas-chemical complexes, while ongoing partnerships with leading foreign firms continue to accelerate the modernization of existing production plants.
Following the opening remarks, the conference split into specialized breakout sessions covering modern methodologies in mineral processing, hydrochemistry, and environmental preservation. These targeted discussions provided a professional platform for evaluating new scientific discoveries and establishing frameworks for future cross-border research initiatives in the chemical industry.

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.
