Shrimp Shells to Produce Electrodes for Large Storage Batteries

Researchers have developed a system to produce electrodes for vanadium flow batteries, used in renewable energy storage. The electrodes are made from chitin, a polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of crustaceans and insects.

Artificial Skin Heals Wounds and Makes Robots Sweat

A smart surface that can actively and repeatedly release and reabsorb substances by environmental stimuli.

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.

Steady-Handed Robot Succeeds in Delicate Microsurgery

The first in-human trials of robot-assisted supermicrosurgery using a dedicated robotic platform are reported in a pilot study in Nature Communications.

Swarm of Smart Marbles to Inspect Pipelines

A swarm of marbles that flows through your intestines in order to detect thickening. It sounds like science fiction, but it's closer to reality than you might think. Engineers have developed sensors that are able to inspect hard-to-reach or even inaccessible environments.

Ioniqa

Ioniqa was founded in 2009 as a spin off from the Eindhoven University of Technology.

Innovative heat battery gets 7 million euro grant from EU

The innovative battery uses thermochemical material to store renewable energy in an inexpensive and lossless way. This helps to bridge longer periods, especially during winter months, when there is less or no energy from sun, wind or other sustainable sources.

Fluoride radically improves the stability of perovskite solar cells

Researchers have discovered that adding a small amount of fluoride to perovskite leaves a protective layer, increasing stability of the materials and the solar cells significantly.

New epilepsy warning device could save thousands of lives

A new high-tech bracelet detects 85 percent of all severe night-time epilepsy seizures. That is a much better score than any other technology currently available. The researchers involved think that this bracelet can reduce the worldwide number of unexpected night-time fatalities in epilepsy patients.

Glow-in-the-dark paper as a rapid test for infectious diseases

Researchers present a practicable and reliable way to test for infectious diseases. All you need are a special glowing paper strip, a drop of blood and a digital camera.

Thermal stable perovskite solar cell

The thermal stability was tested over a period of 3.000 hours. After this thermal stress test, the cell performance showed still 93% of the initial performance.

Using biosensors to deliver personalized doses of antibiotics

A team has come up with a portable biosensor that can measure the amount of vancomycin in a patient's blood stream, enabling doctors to better control the dosage and reduce harmful side effects. Their technology could eventually be used for other antibiotics as well.

Project developing innovative materials for additive manufacturing

Brightlands Materials Center and partners DSM, Xilloc Medical, Eindhoven University of Technology, University of Maastricht and NWO have started a unique four years project to progress new polymeric materials for use in additive manufacturing and 4D printing.

3D-concrete printing housing project

In the city of Eindhoven the realization of the first of five planned 3D-printed concrete houses will start this year. The project, called Project Milestone, is a world's first, as the houses will all be occupied.

New robot for skull base surgery is very accurate

Researchers have developed a surgery robot with sub-millimeter precision, the robot can automatically and safely mill a cavity of the desired shape and dimensions into a skull.

Towards First Time Right Production Of Multi-Material 3D Printed Products

Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands

World's first 3D printed reinforced concrete bridge opened

Yesterday world's first 3D printed reinforced, pre-stressed concrete bridge was opened. The cycle bridge is part of a new road around the village of Gemert, in the Netherlands.

3D printed polymer stents grow with pediatric patients and biodegrade

A new study demonstrates proof-of-concept for combining computational design and simulation tools with 3D printing technology to produce self-expandable polymer stents that can grow with pediatric patients, are biodegradable, and require only a minimally-invasive procedure for implantation.

Energy Harvesting Surprises at IDTechEx Show! Berlin

The successful "IDTechEx Show!" in Berlin with nearly 3000 paying delegates, nine parallel conferences and a large exhibition had a huge amount for the energy harvesting enthusiast.
