Electronic Skin Patches for Temperature Monitoring
Electronic skin patches are being increasingly adopted for use by hospitals and at home. A key sensor used by these electronic skin patches is the temperature sensor, which is a vital indicator of various conditions such as infection and fever, stress, circadian rhythm, ovulation/menstrual cycle, fatigue, depression, insomnia, metabolic function, and more. By using electronic skin patches as a form factor for temperature monitoring, the device can bring value for use cases such as COVID-19 fever monitoring or foetal temperature monitoring. In this premium article, IDTechEx looks at the applications, technology, and players for temperature monitoring in electronic skin patches.

IDTechEx Asks if Thin Film PV Is an Answer to Today's Energy Threats
Photovoltaics is the fastest-growing energy source. Of the thin film PV technologies, cadmium telluride (CdTe) dominates. It is largely concentrated within the US, where it accounts for 40 % of US utility-scale PV power. In recent years, the commercial efficiency of CdTe panels has been playing a catch-up game with conventional silicon and is currently trailing by ~3 %. Efficiency, however, is not the only deciding factor.

IDTechEx Explore Key 5G Trends to Watch Out for From 2023 Onwards
Where does 5G stand three years after its first commercialization in 2019? Let's start with the frequency band. We know that the sub-6 GHz (3.5 - 7 GHz) and millimeter wave (mmWave, >24 GHz) bands are the two new bands among the spectrum covered in 5G. Despite the hype surrounding mmWave, according to IDTechEx's "5G Market 2023-2033: Technology, Trends, Forecasts, Players" report, 53% of 5G commercial/pre-commercial services are actually based on sub-6 GHz, with mmWave accounting only for less than 10% of the market.

Gel-Like, Radioactive Implant Obliterates Pancreatic Cancer in Mice
Biomedical engineers have demonstrated the most effective treatment for pancreatic cancer ever recorded in mouse models. While most mouse trials consider simply halting growth a success, the new treatment completely eliminated tumors in 80 percent of mice across several model types, including those considered the most difficult to treat.

Wireless Charging to Pull the Plug on Charging Stations
The development of wireless charging systems for electric vehicles (EVs) has slowly picked up momentum over the past decade. This charging solution relies on the principle of resonant inductive coupling to achieve wireless power transfer (WPT) from a ground-based pad to a vehicle-fitted pad. Drivers should simply align their vehicles with the ground pad for charging to begin automatically, eliminating the need to plug in.

Autonomous Modular Vehicle to Alleviate Agriculture Labour Shortages
The multi-purpose Unmanned Ground Vehicle can be supervised in a fleet of vehicles by a single human operator. The vehicle uses a combination of vision systems and other technologies to sense the environment - to optimize tasks and allow intelligent and targeted application of inputs such as sprays. Growers will be able to rotate multiple tools on the highly adaptable and configurable agriculture platform, depending on the day's work - for jobs such as spraying, weed control, mulching, mowing and crop analysis.
