The printed electronics industry shows a huge interest in sensors as it seeks to forget the failures from the past.

Many people tell us that the Internet of Things (IoT) is much more than the narrow definition of systems based on IP addressed microcontrollers with sensors.

It is not much of an achievement to make a fuel cell powered vehicle any more. They have been made for over 25 years and they work well.

The 3D printing industry is enormously diverse with printers ranging from the smallest $350 home 3D printers to the largest $1.5m industrial machines.

Pure electric vehicles are inevitably small and feeble or premium-priced, niche products like the Teslas? Not true.
