Breakthrough RF energy harvester: Freevolt

Freevolt™ is a revolutionary energy harvesting technology that turns ambient radio frequency waves (RF) into usable electricity to charge low power electronic devices.

CPI to print low cost energy harvesting device

The Centre for Process Innovation has announced a new project to develop a novel printed energy harvesting device that is powered by near-field communication.

Semi-transparent low cost material to harvest wind energy

Moya Power is a semi-transparent low cost material that could be used to harvest small amounts of wind energy in a range of locations.

BASF teams with Poietis on bioprinted skin project

BASF and Poietis have signed an agreement on research and development in cosmetics.

Tracking exploding Lithium-ion batteries in real-time

What happens when lithium-ion batteries overheat and explode has been tracked inside and out for the first time using sophisticated 3D imaging.

Development of High-Performing Semiconducting Polymers for Transistors and Solar Cells

IDTechEx Printed Electronics Europe 2015 award winners

Rapid progress is being made in both the technical development of, and commercialisation of, printed, flexible and organic electronics. To recognize and award outstanding achievement to those involved in this rapidly growing business the annual IDTechEx Printed Electronics Awards are held each year.

Dramatic new approach to electric vehicles

The IDTechEx conference Electric Vehicles: Everything is Changing tears up the rule book on the electric vehicles market, which will be worth $500 million by 2025 (IDTechEx Research figures 2015).

CPT's new technical centre in Coventry

The official opening by Controlled Power Technologies (CPT) of its new engineering technical centre in the West Midlands.

Low-impact hub generates electrical current from pure plant power

Green wall technology and semi-transparent solar panels have been combined to generate electrical current from a renewable source of energy both day and night.

3D printed cars

At the start, there was no generic name. The simple glass of the car windshield started to incorporate printed antennas and heaters. It was what we now know as "structural electronics" - one structure performing mechanical, electrical and other functions.

Charging mobile phones with sound could become a reality

Researchers have created an energy-harvesting prototype (a nanogenerator) that could be used to charge a mobile phone using everyday background noise - such as traffic, music, and our own voices.

Woven, Smart Skin & Structural Supercapacitors for EVs and Other Uses

Supercapacitors continue to improve faster than lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries, something pointed out by Bombardier and IDTechEx some time ago. There is near consensus that commercial Li-ion batteries will not improve more than a factor of two in cost and energy density in the next decade.

Electrical component hitches a ride with mechanical support

A new composite material that can simultaneously withstand mechanical loads and store electrical energy has been created by scientists in the UK and Belgium.
