Printed Electronics Fuel cell

MIT researchers have overcome a major barrier to large-scale solar power: storing energy for use when the sun doesn't shine.

People trapped in earthquakes could be easier to find with the help of a mini helicopter powered by very light fuel cells.

Printed electronics today is mainly a matter of inorganic rather than organic chemistry and the next ten years are unlikely to see the inorganic part drop below 50% of the high value materials required.

A Harvard team who developed an innovative, microbial fuel cell-based lighting system suitable for Sub-Saharan Africa won a $200,000 grant.

Printed photovoltaics and batteries have reached a technological tipping point. With demand for power skyrocketing, IDTechEx find that the market for thin film photovoltaics beyond silicon will reach $1 billion in 2012 and $6 billion in 2014. Here Raghu Das, CEO, summarizes some of the findings of the new IDTechEx study - Printed and Thin film Photovoltaics and Batteries.
