Autonomous agricultural vehicles

True to its name, the IDTechEx report, Autonomous Vehicles Land, Water, Air 2015-2035 gives the full picture. Here we share some of the latest entries as it is continuously updated to reflect the rapid progress in this sector.

Toys with customised flexible electroluminiscent adhesive tapes

The conversion of electrical energy into light is known as electroluminescence. The application of these devices has proven to be very broad, as they are used for lighting purposes, displays or architectural lighting among others.

New low-cost battery could help store renewable energy

Storing electric power for days when the air is still or when the sun goes down remains a challenge, largely due to cost.

Wearable can tell what user is touching

A new technology could enable smartwatches to automatically recognize what objects users are touching, for instance, whether the wearer is using a laptop, operating a saw, or riding a motorcycle, creating new opportunities for context-aware apps.

World's first jet-powered, 3D printed UAV

Stratasys Ltd has announced that it has teamed with Aurora Flight Sciences to deliver, what is believed to be, the largest, fastest, and most complex 3D printed unmanned aerial vehicle ever produced.

Agfa Specialty Products enters into development agreement with MGI

Agfa Specialty Products and MGI Digital Technology have announced the formal creation of a strategic development agreement aimed at the Printed Electronics industry. The objective is to combine both Agfa's unique and complementary chemical know-how and MGI Digital Technology's industrial know-how to develop and launch the world's first industrial inkjet solution for the Printed Electronics market.

E-mobility thought to the end

The world's largest 2nd-use battery storage unit will soon go into operation in the Westphalian town of Lünen.

Printing & vacuum deposition: Competing for market share

Flexible electronic devices are starting to experience significant proliferation, with more and more devices with innovative form factors being brought to market, from small components such as disposable sensors that have been in the market for quite some time now, all the way to new flexible smart phones currently being demonstrated by consumer electronics giants like Samsung and LG.

Sandy solution for renewable energy storage

Sand is emerging as a key ingredient in the race to develop a viable electricity storage system for renewable energies.

Improved stability - the game changer for perovskite photovoltaics

Organo-lead halide perovskite materials, commonly used in high-efficiency perovskite solar cells, are materials that can easily decompose in moisture conditions. They cannot survive even for one day without proper encapsulation.

Sensors enable plants to text message farmers

Data is all transmitted to a user's computer, and the system can send text messages calling attention to particular crops that need water.

Coordinating autonomy and energy independence in vehicles

It is a no brainer. The ultimate vehicle by land water and air is independent in performance of task and in provision of its motive power.

Researchers develop tougher glass

Japanese researchers say they have developed a new type of glass which is almost as hard as steel, which could be ideal for screens used in mobile devices and displays.

3D-printed building blocks of life

Scientists have developed a 3D-printing method capable of producing highly uniform blocks of embryonic stem cells.

Simple mathematical formula models lithium-ion battery aging

Hybrid electric vehicles, cell phones, digital cameras, and the Mars Curiosity rover are just a few of the many devices that use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Now a team of researchers has a simple mathematical formula to predict what factors most influence lithium-ion battery aging.

XENON Advances Printed Electronics with New Approaches to Sintering

With over 50 years of expertise, XENON has developed and deployed high energy pulsed light solutions for a broad range of applications. In 2010, the S-1000 was offered as a benchtop solution for silver nano material sintering. Though limited in flexibility, it offered an entry into photonic sintering for ink developers and research institutions worldwide.

Storage advance may boost solar thermal energy potential

Engineers have identified a new approach for the storage of concentrated solar thermal energy, to reduce its cost and make it more practical for wider use.

A potential control over superconductivity

An applied potential can reversibly induce a superconducting-insulator transition in lithium titanate thin films, report researchers.

Imec and Kaneka expand their collaboration

imec and Kaneka Corporation, has announced that they have signed a new three year framework agreement that strengthens and extends their comprehensive R&D collaboration. Next to working on next generation solar cells, under this frame agreement imec and Kaneka will explore new applications in life science and thin-film electronics.
