New Manufacturing Technique for Flexible Electronics

Ultrathin, flexible computer circuits have been an engineering goal for years, but technical hurdles have prevented the degree of miniaturization necessary to achieve high performance. Now, researchers have invented a manufacturing technique that yields flexible, atomically thin transistors less than 100 nanometers in length - several times smaller than previously possible.

Nano Dimension Ltd will uplist its Depositary Shares to the NASDAQ Capital Market. Trading of the Company's ADS on the NASDAQ Capital Market will begin on March 7, 2016 under the symbol "NNDM."

Multitaction

Multitaction is a Finland-based large-area interactive display manufacturer. It's technology is based on optical (IR) vision systems. The main market is the enterprise segment. The key advantage is stems from the system's ability to create different large-scale shapes composed of an arbitrary arrangement of 50" displays. The system can also handle an unlimited number of users and different input types.

Infinite Corridor Technology

Infinite Corridor Technology (ICT) was set up in 2009 as an MIT spin-off. Its technology enables the creation of flexible and stretchable PBCs. Its initial target market was wearable devices that can be twisted and flexed. Its technology uses standard PBC technology on copper-clad Kapton and does not require any inherently flexible technology such as special plastic substrates or printed conductive inks.

Nagase America Corporation

EMS based in Delaware, OH, USA was acquired by Nagase Chemtex Corporation in 2012 after about 10 years of collaborative efforts between the two companies in epoxy materials development. Originally working on epoxy adhesives for industrial applications, in early 2000's EMS developed conductive epoxies and hence started its foray into conductive inks.

Wearable, automotive and IoT drive sensor growth at IDTechEx Show!

The last decade has seen the cost of sensors fall to an average sales price of 50 cents from several dollars, driven first by the increase in sensors for automotive followed by consumer electronics such as smart phones. The next phase of volume growth will be driven by wearable technology, IoT and driver assisted/autonomous vehicles. This is also driving work on new types of sensors, such as flexible, larger area ones.
