Electronics manufacturing giant Wistron has modified now equipment at one of its factories in China to produce touch-screen panels with the shape-shifting technology inside.
Yet Elon musk, CEO of Tesla motors, says he intends to build a factory in the United states three years from
but already four states are negotiating with Tesla in the hope of becoming the factory home.
Second, battery companies normally announce factories only after theye funded and a site is selected. And they typically scale up gradually.
Why announce plans to build such an enormous factory specially when electric car sales so far come nowhere close to justifying it?
The project seems more puzzling in light of the hard times at other electric car battery factories in the United states. In 2009,
To keep the factory humming he will have to sell more than 10 times as many electric vehicles in a year as Nissan managed last year
He seems to be betting that a huge factory will significantly reduce the cost of making batteries,
Yet it not clear that a huge factory would deliver the needed cost reductions. According to a presentation to investors, it would lower costs by 30 percent.
and even incremental improvements at conventional factories could reduce costs by 15 percent by 2020,
and the cells are assembled into complete battery packsith cooling systems and electronic controlsn yet another factory.
The factory will also be able to take old batteries apart to recycle the materials,
and wind to help power the factory. Brett Smith, codirector for manufacturing, engineering, and technology at the Center for Automotive Research, says having control over every part of the process could indeed help reduce costs.
The factory would cost $5 billion, with $2 billion coming from Tesla. If Tesla can sell as many cars as it hopes,
and whatever the final factory looks like, the way Musk has been promoting it may prove to be a savvy business move.
Announcing the factory at an early stage, and with an ambitious size, could be good for negotiations with states,
especially given the proposed size of the factory. Some states are even reconsidering laws that restrict how Tesla can sell cars in their state,
a factory to supply 100,000 cars. anasonic can afford to lose the business, says Anderman.
The methods developed to create the designer genomic structure could help synthetic biologists better use the single-celled fungi as biological factories for chemicals like biofuels and drugs.

Vehicle and factory emissions have been analysed for decades in high-income countries, but haze smoke, and its impact on health, is understood not well. ot many people have investigated it
Unlike factory and vehicle emissions, wildfire smoke is regulated not by tailpipe scrubbers, catalytic converters or other pollution-mitigating applications.
Factory and laboratory robots have predefined a strictly way of operating. So if a component breaks
According to Dr Jeff Clune of the University of Wyoming, the development represents an important first step toward robots that are able to operate independently, outside of the carefully controlled confines of a laboratory or factory floor."
"he told BBC News."Robots are used in factories because they are controlled a environment and nothing unexpected can happen to them.
We would like to put these robots outside of factories to help in the outside world,
churning out components when needed-not stored in a factory somewhere awaiting delivery to factories.
