ACWA Power Signs MOU with Neutral Fuels for Red Sea Project

The ACWA Power-led consortium was awarded The Red Sea Development Company's highest value contract to design, build, operate and transfer The Red Sea Project's sustainable utilities infrastructure in November 2020. Once complete, the destination will become the first project of its scale in the world to be entirely powered by a range of renewable and sustainable energy sources, including biofuel.

Trends in Low-Cost Displays for Emerging Applications

Presented by IDTechEx analyst Dr Matthew Dyson at SID Display Week 2021

Renewable Materials Conference 2021

The Renewable Materials Conference was an online event, hosted by the Nova Institute, held in May 2020. Over the course of three days, 47 talks were given about a range of areas to do with the formation of a circular economy and eliminating the need for fossil fuels, and the latest renewable material solutions. This IDTechEx premium article presents some of the major themes and topics discussed at the conference.

Exoskeleton Therapy Improves Mobility, Cognition for People with MS

A team of multiple sclerosis experts led the first pilot randomized controlled trial of robotic-exoskeleton assisted exercise rehabilitation effects on mobility, cognition, and brain connectivity in people with substantial MS-related disability.

ORPC Plans to Advance Tidal Energy in Cook Inlet

ORPC proposes to initiate the process towards installing a tidal energy project at East Foreland, Cook Inlet, Alaska. Once the project is functioning, ORPC will collaborate with Homer Electric Association Inc to sell it the tidal energy produced.

Li-ion Batteries Might Lose Their Leadership in Stationary Application

The energy scenario is changing as a result of years of green policies adopted by the major countries in the world. With energy storage playing a key role toward the integration of variable renewable energy (VRE) in the power grid, will Li-ion batteries keep dominating the stationary storage market?

Second Life EV Batteries Reduces Skoda's Carbon Footpritn

Škoda Auto introduces a smart energy storage system: a second life cycle for batteries from electric vehicles that effectively reduces their CO2 footprint. In partnership with the Czech technology company IBG Česko, the system is now being deployed at Škoda dealerships.

New Tool Activates Deep Brain Neurons Combining Ultrasound, Genetics

Neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and epilepsy have had some treatment success with deep brain stimulation, but those require surgical device implantation. A multidisciplinary team has developed a new brain stimulation technique using focused ultrasound that is able to turn specific types of neurons in the brain on and off and precisely control motor activity without surgical device implantation.

World's Smallest Fruit Picker Controlled by AI

Physicists have studied whether valuable chemical substances can be harvested directly from the cells of plants. Using a harvester measuring only a few microns, they have now achieved a technological breakthrough.

Transparent Electrode Boosts Solar Cell Efficiency

Developing new ultrathin metal electrodes has allowed researchers to create semitransparent perovskite solar cells that are highly efficient and can be coupled with traditional silicon cells to greatly boost the performance of both devices, said an international team of scientists. The research represents a step toward developing completely transparent solar cells.

Autonomous Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is 2-3 Years Away, For Real

"Autonomous cars will be here in 2 years" has been a standard sentence from the industry for the past 5 years or so. Now there is good reason to expect autonomous ride-hailing services to hit our roads within 3 years. So, what has happened in the last year in the world of autonomy to give this confidence boost?

Q Cells

Founded in 2012, Hanwha Q Cells Co., Ltd., and "Hanwha Q Cells & Advanced Materials Corp.", commonly known as Q Cells or Hanwha Q Cells, are manufacturers of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells.

DuPont Microcircuit Materials Introduces New Silver Sinter Paste

Advanced formulation designed to improve reliability and productivity for power semiconductor die attach

Researchers Are First to Create Sterile Male Mosquitoes Using CRISPR

Mosquitoes are one of humanity's greatest nemeses, estimated to spread infections to nearly 700 million people per year and cause more than one million deaths.

The Robot Smiled Back

Researchers use AI to teach robots to make appropriate reactive human facial expressions, an ability that could build trust between humans and their robotic co-workers and care-givers

Can Direct Air Capture Really Help in the Fight Against Climate Change

Carbon capture technology may be essential in helping the world in the fight against climate change, however, capturing CO2 from point sources not be enough to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. A potential solution is direct air capture (DAC) technology. Does DAC justify the excitement or is it doomed to fail?

New Technique Breaks the Mould for 3D Printing Medical Implants

Researchers have flipped traditional 3D printing to create some of the most intricate biomedical structures yet, advancing the development of new technologies for regrowing bones and tissue. The emerging field of tissue engineering aims to harness the human body's natural ability to heal itself, to rebuild bone and muscle lost to tumours or injuries.

Technology to Monitor Mental Wellbeing Right at Your Fingertips

To help patients manage their mental wellness between appointments, researchers have developed a smart device-based electronic platform that can continuously monitor the state of hyperarousal, one of the signs of psychiatric distress. They said this advanced technology could read facial cues, analyze voice patterns and integrate readings from built-in vital signs sensors on smartwatches to determine if a patient is under stress.
