3D Artificial Pneumatic Muslces

The creation of artificial muscles is a very ambitious goal in the field of robotics, because in nature, muscle tissue has complex characteristics that permit highly versatile movements, from rapid, powerful contractions to small and precise changes in body shape, such as those of human facial expressions. Although individual muscle fibres can only contract, it is their specific arrangement in complex muscle architectures that enables articulate deformations such as bending, twisting and antagonistic movements.

Graphene for Solar Power

By 2050, the European Union aims to be climate neutral. In pursuit of this goal, the first half of 2020 saw renewables — including solar, hydro, wind and bioenergy — produce more electricity than fossil fuels in the EU.

First End to End BVLOS Drone Delivery Trials in India

Months of planning, risk assessments, air traffic control integration, training, equipment preparation, and coordination culminated with ANRA's flight team launching its first sortie on June 16, 2021. For the next several weeks, the flight team will conduct BVLOS food and medical package deliveries in the Etah and Rupnagar districts using ANRA SmartSkies technology.

Terahertz Imaging of Graphene Paves the Way to Industrialisation

X-ray scans revolutionised medical treatments by allowing us to see inside humans without surgery. Similarly, terahertz spectroscopy penetrates graphene films allowing scientists to make detailed maps of their electrical quality, without damaging or contaminating the material.

Light-Emitting Tattoo Engineered for the First Time

Scientists have created a temporary tattoo with light-emitting technology used in TV and smartphone screens, paving the way for a new type of "smart tattoo" with a range of potential uses.

Ribes Tech

Ribes Tech is an early-stage Italian company that has developed flexible organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. These are primarily targeted at indoor energy harvesting applications, such as for IoT devices.

Event Summary: Nano Dimension AME Academy

On 23rd February 2021 Nano Dimension organized and hosted a short conference on additively manufactured electronics (AME). IDTechEx was pleased to be invited as a speaker, and gave an overview of what we believe are the most promising future applications for additive electronics manufacturing. This premium article summarizes presentations given at the event.

Super Solution in Hybrid Capacitor Development

In a step towards a new type of energy storage, researchers have developed a hybrid supercapacitor that offers the best of both worlds in energy storage.

Fungal Wearables and Devices: Biomaterials Pave The Way

Fungi are among the world's oldest and most tenacious organisms. They are now showing great promise to become one of the most useful materials for producing textiles, gadgets and other construction materials.

IIT use the dragonfly system to embed MEMS systems for biometric sensors, including with the Piezoskin spin-out company.

Oscilla Power to Demonstrate Utility-Scale Ocean Wave Energy in India

Oscilla Power announce that they are now in the planning stages of a demonstration of their 1MW 'Triton' ocean wave energy system in Southern India.

Artificial Retina Restores Vision in Blind Rats

An international team of scientists has developed a new nanoparticle-based artificial retina prosthesis that can be injected into the eye.

Artificial Synapse Works With Living Cells

Researchers have tested the first biohybrid version of their artificial synapse and demonstrated that it can communicate with living cells.

Graphene, Perovskites and Silicon, an Ideal Tandem for Solar Cells

Laws of physics limit the maximum efficiency of silicon solar cells to 32%. For that reason, scientists have spent decades trying to come up with other alternatives, such as III-V and perovskites. However, the latter present several manufacturing challenges, and scaling up the production of solar panels is a key step towards success.
