Artificial intelligence can predict premature death, study finds

Computers which are capable of teaching themselves to predict premature death could greatly improve preventative healthcare in the future.

Ilika's first solid state battery designed specially for MedTech

The Stereax® M50 is Ilika's first solid state battery designed specially for the need of MedTech. The M50 is Ilika's smallest form factor solid state battery to date, delivering up to a 50% increase in energy density when compared to other commercially available solid state batteries

Robots created with 3D printers could care for the elderly

The world's elderly population is booming. The number of older people -- those age 60 years or older -- is expected to more than double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the globe. This trend comes with an increasing demand for caregivers capable of providing 24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes and apartments.

Printed sensors provide on the spot fentanyl detection

Researchers have developed screen-printed sensors that could offer a faster, convenient and low-cost method to detect the drug fentanyl. The sensors can detect micromolar concentrations of fentanyl in just one minute. They are easy to produce, cost only a few cents apiece, and are disposable.

Binder-free (100% carbon) electrode

Nano-carbons have exceptional electrical, thermal and mechanical properties at the nano-scale level.

BYD launches the world's longest pure electric bus

BYD announces the world's first 27-m pure electric bi-articulated bus. With a passenger capacity of 250 people, it is the longest pure electric bus in the world and can travel at a maximum speed of 70 km/h.

BatterySense Project works on development of next generation batteries

CPI is part of a project focused on next generation battery and sensor work. Operating alongside partners on the BatterySense programme, CPI is supporting work to reduce the size of existing wireless sensing form factors by exploiting additive manufacture. This allows for the intimate integration of batteries into the substrates of ultrathin label-like sensors fabricated by roll-to-roll processes.

Robot autonomously builds erosion barriers

Along developed riverbanks, physical barriers can help contain flooding and combat erosion. In arid regions, check dams can help retain soil after rainfall and restore damaged landscapes.

Record of 23.2 percent with bifacial n-PERT solar cells

imec and partner in EnergyVille, announces that its n-PERT (Passivated Emitter and Rear Totally diffused) solar cells developed with Jolywood have reached a certified front-side conversion efficiency of 23.2 percent.

Machine learning for measuring roots

Researchers have developed a software that, through image processing and machine learning, allows researchers to semi-automate the analysis of root growth of seedlings growing directly in agar plates.

'Wearable' device captures cancer cells from blood

A prototype wearable device, tested in animal models, can continuously collect live cancer cells directly from a patient's blood.
