Highlights from Farnborough Air Show 2018

This premium article will give some of the key conversations with the most technically innovative companies that IDTechEx analysts spoke while at the show.

Floating tension-tethered and self-steerable marine-current turbine

A marine turbine specifically designed to harness the energy from tidal and ocean currents in those regions which, having relatively-high-speed water flows at depths with long distance to the seabed, cannot ensure an economic exploitation with fixed turbines.

Remotely piloted aircraft completes transatlantic mission

A Medium-altitude, Long-endurance Remotely Piloted Aircraft produced by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc made history as it landed at the Royal Air Force, Fairford in Gloucestershire, UK and became the first MALE RPA to successfully complete a trans-Atlantic flight.

Finding defects in 3D printing using gold

That glint of gold has always captured our eyes, but now the precious metal has a new use - finding defects in 3D printing.

Mobile health devices diagnose hidden heart condition

Wearable mobile health devices improved the rate of diagnosis of a dangerous and often hidden heart condition called atrial fibrillation, according to a first of its kind, home-based clinical study conducted in part by researchers at the Scripps Translational Science Institute.

Quantum dot white LEDs achieve record efficiency

Researchers have demonstrated nanomaterial-based white-light-emitting diodes that exhibit a record luminous efficiency of 105 lumens per watt. With further development, the new LEDs could reach efficiencies over 200 lumens per watt, making them a promising energy-efficient lighting source for homes, offices and televisions.

Ecology and AI

It's poised to transform fields from earthquake prediction to cancer detection to self-driving cars, and now scientists are unleashing the power of deep learning on a new field - ecology.

Oxymem

Oxymem is an Irish start-up that develops, manufacturers and sells containerized membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) based wastewater treatment systems. In June 2018, IDTechEx interviewed Oxymem's Commercial Director John McConomy.

Golden opportunity to switch to low cost energy

Britain has a "golden opportunity" to switch to greener ways of providing energy to homes and businesses without increasing bills - but only if Ministers act now to make the most of it.

A fresh way to research your market opportunities

Research your market by exhibiting at the IDTechEx Show! Conducting market research on why companies want your product is usually a necessary step for successful commercialization. It is even more important when new technologies are developed that achieve things that were not possible before: Often the applications for the technology turn out to be very different from those intended by the creator.

Robots to be more reliable teammates for soldiers

Researchers have developed a new technique to quickly teach robots novel traversal behaviors with minimal human oversight. The technique allows mobile robot platforms to navigate autonomously in environments while carrying out actions a human would expect of the robot in a given situation.

Volta Energy Technologies announces investment in Conamix

Volta Energy Technologies is investing in Conamix, a technology startup based in Ithaca, New York. Conamix has developed a breakthrough material and process for creating low-cost, high-energy, and cobalt-free electrode materials for lithium-based batteries.

Solar supercapacitor for wearables

A new form of solar-powered supercapacitor could help make future wearable technologies lighter and more energy-efficient, scientists say.‌

ScottCare Cardiovascular Solution

IDTechEx interviewed Snehraj Merchant, VP of Engineering at ScottCare. They are involved in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, diagnosis and associated data integration and services, including a skin patch product for mobile cardiac telemetry.

Compact and flexible supercapacitor developed

A lightweight, compact and efficient supercapacitor printed on a flexible plastic sheet has been developed by researchers.

Ultralight all-electric personal aerial vehicle

OPENER has revealed BlackFly; the world's first ultralight all-electric fixed-wing extreme short/vertical take-off and landing aircraft. BlackFly is a single-seat Personal Aerial Vehicle with simple controls requiring no special skills to master and operate safely.

Clothing that can charge your cell phone, carbon is the new black

Engineers are leveraging a partnership to create clothing that can charge your cell phone. Move over, Iron Man.

Breakthrough in construction of computers for mimicking human brain

A computer built to mimic the brain's neural networks produces similar results to that of the best brain-simulation supercomputer software currently used for neural-signaling research, finds a new study.
