EISAP online workshop, an open-source program for impedance analysis

— On 29 July 2026, nearly one hundred participants joined the online workshop on EISAP, hosted by Dr. Hangyu Yu from Group of Energy Materials. The complete analysis workflow was demonstrated on example degradation data, followed by a question round on practical issues. The recording has been published in six parts on YouTube.

Two recent studies published in Nature Communications

— Unlike engines or turbines, that scale by volume, fuel cell systems are by nature modular : MW-size installations have to be assembled by connecting together base units of, here, 10 kW stacks, fed by fuel and air streams in an optimal way. The first study published in Feb 2026 comes up with an innovative parallel/series configuration hybrid design how to connect the 10 kW base units, targeting to minimize both fuel consumption and system cost, by minimizing the connection components.

NEMO Systems: Proof of Concept to a More Sustainable Maritime World

— After validating its technology under real-world conditions during the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge with the system deployed on more than 50 boats, NEMO Systems is now targeting the maritime industry. Born out of an engineering project applied to competitive marine racing, the startup is developing an onboard solution capable of collecting, measuring, and visualizing key energy and operational data from boats in real time: consumption, efficiency, position, safety of onboard systems, and propulsion parameters. This first large-scale trial demonstrated the system’s reliability and its ability to operate directly in the field, in close alignment with maritime operations.
