Profile
Cambridge University Eco Racing (CUER) is a 60 strong student organisation that designs, build and races solar powered vehicles.
Since their founding in 2007, they have been the UK's number one for solar vehicle development and achieved 2,047km on solar power at the World Solar Challenge in 2015 with their latest vehicle, Evolution.
Their team mission is to inspire as well as innovate. Through exploring new areas of ultra-efficient vehicle technology, they aim to challenge the accepted concept for solar vehicles with their unique design. In addition they provide students at Cambridge University with a learning platform for applied engineering, strategic planning and leadership in the real world.

Nano ePrint developing printed nano-transistors in zinc oxide
Nano ePrint, formerly Plastic ePrint, the 2006 spin out from Professor Aimin Song's group at Manchester University in the UK, continues the development of its remarkable single layer transistor printing system.22 Jul 2009
New topics covered at Printed Electronics Asia
While some involved in OLEDs and OTFTs are moving out of the business of printed and potentially printed electronics, work on inorganic materials and compounds is increasing. The IDTechEx Printed Electronics Asia event in Tokyo will give a balanced view with many presentations being World firsts.13 Jul 2009
Printed Electronics uses more inorganics and composites
Printed electronics is using more inorganics and composites in the quest for higher performance, lower costs, finer feature size, stretchability and creation of radically new components such as memristors, supercabatteries and metamaterials.2 Jul 2009
Inorganic printed electronics employs new compounds
There are huge opportunities for companies providing inorganic chemicals to printed and potentially printed electronics. Here, Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx, summarises some of the findings from the new IDTechEx report "Inorganic and Composite Printed Electronics 2009-2019."25 Jun 2009
Huge increase in printed electronics toolkit
This year has already seen a huge increase in the choice of electronic components that can be printed or are compatible with printing in that they are thin, flexible and can support further printed circuitry on top.11 Jun 2009
IDTechEx Energy Harvesting Awards
The IDTechEx Energy Harvesting Awards were launched at the networking dinner at Robinson College on Wednesday 3rd June. Two awards were given out, recognising achievements in Best Technology Development and Best Application of energy harvesting in a product.3 Jun 2009
New focus for printed electronics
In the last year, the burgeoning printed and thin film electronics industry has greatly enhanced its repertoire and changed its priorities, encompassing such things as rapid commercialisation of disposable and invisible electronics.15 May 2009
Energy Harvesting & Storage Conference expands
The conference Energy Harvesting in Cambridge UK on June 3-4 has enhanced its first and second day line up with carefully chosen speakers giving the big picture, with a particular emphasis on commercialisation.14 Apr 2009
Power saving light-emitting diodes
Cambridge University (Dr Colin Humphrey) has come up with a reliable way to deposit gallium nitride on much cheaper silicon wafers, which they estimate could cut production costs to a tenth of what they are at the moment.8 Apr 2009

Energy harvesting moves from theory to adoption
There are several conferences on the theoretical aspects of energy harvesting and they have an important function to perform. However, in 2009, the subject is finally coming of age with widespread early adoption and market pull after so many years of little more than supplier push.8 Apr 2009
Printed Electronics Europe opens with Keynotes
The IDTechEx Printed Electronics Europe 2009 event opened this morning in Dresden, Germany. Over 760 attendees had pre-registered with many more registering on the morning of the event.3 Apr 2009
Energy harvesting without batteries
Usually, dispensing with any form of battery can give even longer life, lower cost, smaller size, greater reliability, convenience, labour saving and reduced environmental problems.1 Apr 2009
Detroit Media Partnership in E-reader deal with Plastic Logic
Plastic Logic has announced a strategic partnership agreement with the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News, Michigan's largest and award-winning metro daily newspapers, to offer an innovative digital content delivery and distribution program with its forthcoming Plastic Logic Reader.20 Mar 2009
Opening of PETEC 17 March

The hot applications for energy harvesting
IDTechEx finds that consumer applications are and will remain the greatest market for energy harvesting on small devices by value.9 Feb 2009
LEDs take 3 percent of global lighting market
LEDs have taken three percent of the global lighting market while we have been waiting for OLEDs in anything more than very specialist applications.12 Jan 2009
Finance for Printed Electronics is Not Drying Up
The news media are full of the details of the global financial meltdown. Is this affecting finance for the small companies and start-ups involved in printed and potentially printed electronics and electrics? We think not.2008
