A solid future for batteries at IDTechEx's Energy Storage Innovations
At IDTechEx we believe that the future of the energy, mobility, electronics, and communications industry will be strongly shaped by the development of one key enabling technology, that is, energy storage. At the historical tipping point of structural change in these sectors there has never been a better time for a dedicated forum on energy storage as key enabling technology.6 Oct 2016
Low-emissions vehicles are less expensive overall
You might think cars with low carbon emissions are expensive. Think again.6 Oct 2016
3-D-printed robots with shock-absorbing skins
A new method for 3-D printing soft materials that make robots safer and more precise in their movements — and that could be used to improve the durability of drones, phones, shoes, helmets, and more.5 Oct 2016
EVES Launchpad: Electric Vehicles Launch at the IDTechEx Show!
Electric Vehicle and Energy Storage (EVES) start-ups exhibit in Santa Clara.4 Oct 2016
Robot specifically designed to support research
At 104 cm tall, the iCub has the size of a five-year-old child. It can crawl on all fours, walk and sit up to manipulate objects.3 Oct 2016
In batteries, a metal reveals its dual personality
Battery researchers have been focusing on lithium metal electrodes as leading contenders for improving the amount of energy that batteries can store without increasing their weight.28 Sep 2016
Amsterdam to get world's first fleet of autonomous boats
The world's first major research program on autonomous floating vessels in metropolitan areas.28 Sep 2016
Transparent photovoltaics a promising pathway to solar energy
With a mission to eliminate the battery life limitations of mobile devices and power smart glass for buildings, Ubiquitous Energy is implementing its ClearView Power technology into a wide range of products as an invisible, onboard source of electricity.27 Sep 2016
Architectural robotics for compact living
Through architectural robotics, Ori's systems promise to liberate urban design.19 Sep 2016
Grant to improve the way robots interact with people in factories
A three-year, $1 million project funded by the National Science Foundation to help change the role of robots in factories and make it easier for machines to work alongside people.5 Sep 2016
3-D printed structures "remember" their shapes
Engineers are using light to print three-dimensional structures that "remember" their original shapes. Even after being stretched, twisted, and bent at extreme angles, the structures sprang back to their original forms within seconds of being heated to a certain temperature.24 Aug 2016
Do flexible electrodes make life easier?
A cell phone falls on the floor. It works, but the cracked screen resembles a spider's web. This and similar damage can be prevented by using flexible electrodes.19 Aug 2016
Customized functional devices attached directly on skin
DuoSkin is a fabrication process that enables anyone to create customized functional devices that can be attached directly on their skin.17 Aug 2016
Self-shading windows developed
A team of researchers at MIT has developed a new way of making windows that can switch from transparent to opaque, potentially saving energy by blocking sunlight on hot days and thus reducing air-conditioning costs.15 Aug 2016
New lithium-oxygen battery greatly improves energy efficiency
Lithium-air batteries are considered highly promising technologies for electric cars and portable electronic devices because of their potential for delivering a high energy output in proportion to their weight.29 Jul 2016
Vibrating footwear could help astronauts
Video of astronauts tripping over moon rocks can make for entertaining Internet viewing, but falls in space can jeopardize astronauts' missions and even their lives.26 Jul 2016
Borrowing from pastry chefs, engineers create nanolayered composites
The discovery could open up wide-ranging possibilities for designing new, easy-to-manufacture composites for optical devices, electronic systems, and high-tech materials.20 Jul 2016
Smart sensors can be sutured into tissue
For the first time, researchers have integrated nano-scale sensors, electronics and microfluidics into threads - ranging from simple cotton to sophisticated synthetics - that can be sutured through multiple layers of tissue to gather diagnostic data wirelessly in real time.18 Jul 2016
New way to turn electricity into light, using graphene
This entirely new way of converting electricity into visible radiation is highly controllable, fast, and efficient, the researchers say, and could lead to a wide variety of new applications.15 Jul 2016
Tesla the follower
Tesla is a leader in the design and commercialisation of pure electric cars. It lacks profit but has an orderbook that its competition can only dream about. Since last year Tesla has also been selling batteries based on Panasonic cells that can power homes and businesses copying several other companies that were there before
