Flapping wing micro aerial vehicles are studied as the substitute for fixed and rotary wing micro aerial vehicles because of the advantages such as agility, maneuverability, and employability in confined environments. Hummingbird’s sustainable hovering capability inspires many researchers to develop micro aerial vehicles with similar dynamics. In this research, a wing of a ruby-throated hummingbird…
Growing worldwide demand for energy met by burning fossil fuels has severe environmental effects and wider socio-economic repercussions. Developing countries like Pakistan are struggling to realize and plan the energy-environment-economic nexus. Pakistan’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels results in hefty import bills and a significant financial burden at the local, regional, and national levels. In…
Research team lead by Dr. Naseem Iqbal from USPCAS-E, NUST and Dr. Zahid Ali Gahzi from University of Peshawar, are developing a highly energy density electrode material for Lithium (Li)-based batteries and supercapacitors in a project under local challenge fund (LCF) research grant by Higher Education Commission (HEC). Although, the commercial rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries and…
Startups may be small companies, but they can play a significant role in economic growth. They create more jobs which means more employment, and more employment means an improved economy. Not only that, but startups can also contribute to economic dynamism by spurring innovation and injecting competition. One may have the greatest of idea but…

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are considered the most reliable energy storage system with high energy and power density. LIBs have already captured the electronics market and are used in cell phones, laptops, gadgets, etc., with long cycle life. However, the demand for LIBs is increasing rapidly especially towards electric vehicles (EVs) where high energy and power…
