Crop planted, tended and harvested autonomously in world first

The ground-breaking Hands Free Hectare which aimed to be the first in the world to plant, tend and harvest a crop with only autonomous vehicles and drones, has come to an end after a successful harvest.

Make Electricity Where You Need It

While grid load from electric vehicles is expected to rise in the near future. Engineers are already looking for solutions to make electric vehicles function independently of the grid.

Electric Vehicles About to Leap in Range Again

This article covers different electric vehicles under development.

New Supercapacitor Applications

This article suggests supercapacitor market growth could be aided by exploiting its unique properties.

Novel 3-D printed high-performance polymer

Researchers have created a novel way to 3-D print the type of high-temperature polymeric materials commonly used to insulate space craft and satellites from extreme heat and cold. Previously, the polyimide could be made only in sheets.

AI technology to help prevent blindness

It could soon be easier to prevent blindness in the 1.7 million Australians living with diabetes thanks to the successful trial of a world first artificial intelligence-driven technology in Perth.

New way to make dissolving electronics

Researchers have reported a new type of electronic device that can be triggered to dissolve through exposure to water molecules in the atmosphere.

Large companies target energy independent electric vehicles

The IDTechEx report, Energy Independent Electric Vehicles Land, Water, Air 2017-2037 covers markets, technology timelines, energy harvesting and extreme powertrain efficiency involved. Constantly updated, it now reveals backing of many large companies.

Teachable, ultra-compact, autonomous, phenotyping robot

Investors and executives in the agricultural industry are getting a first look at TerraSentia, a new-to-the-market agricultural robot that autonomously measures crop traits.

Material turning sunlight, heat, and movement into electricity

A perovskite based ceramic material that is able to collect three ambient energy sources and convert them to electricity simultaneously - all with one material.

Goodbye roadside charging stations

Once we had rows of ugly stalks along the roadside that took your coins for parking - or more often failed to take your coins for parking. Unloved, they have now largely gone and no one mourns their passing. Unfortunately, in

CRISPR gene editing changes a flower's colour

In a world-first, Japanese scientists have used the revolutionary CRISPR, or CRISPR/Cas9, genome- editing tool to change flower colour in an ornamental plant.

Rubber material for flexible, unbreakable devices

A group of researchers have discovered a stretchy miracle material that could be used to create highly resistant smart devices and scratch-proof paint for cars.

Good vibrations reduce muscle aches

New research shows wearable vibration technology can reduce muscle aches and pain after strenuous exercise, benefiting those suffering from tired and sore bodies.

Robotics modelled on bees

A research group is investigating the behaviour of young honeybees immediately after hatching and successfully transfers this to robots. The bees' brood-care strategies turn out to be surprisingly efficient.

Mobile electrics at watts to kilowatts without batteries

Battery elimination, indeed elimination of all energy storage, is moving to even higher power, from electronics to electrical engineering

New device could turn heat energy into a viable fuel source

A new device could one day turn the heat generated by a wide array of electronics into a usable fuel source.

Underwater energy transfer

The Navy is developing ways to recharge underwater unmanned vehicles using undersea wireless technology.

Deere to advance machine learning capabilities through acquisition

Deere & Company has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Blue River Technology, a leader in applying machine learning to agriculture.

A new way to print electrical circuits

Graphene-based inks can be printed with traditional methods like inkjet printing. With the thickness of an atom, graphene is the thinnest material in the world — and one of its greatest potentials is its ability to be used as a conductor.
