Virtual Reality: The Most Disruptive Technology of the Next Decade

Virtual reality has already had a major impact in a range of different industries. IDTechEx predicts in its recent market research report that this technology will grow to $8Bn by 2030.

New Green Materials Could Power Smart Devices Using Ambient Light

Researchers have developed environmentally friendly materials that could harvest enough energy from indoor light to power wireless smart devices.

Sky-Futures Brings Flock on Board as Drone Insurance Partner

Sky-Futures, an ICR company, one of the world's leading drone inspection and survey service providers, has appointed connected insurance provider, Flock, as its drone insurance partner.

Mitie Works with Vodafone UK to Reduce its Carbon Footprint

Mitie has supported Vodafone UK in reducing its carbon footprint, saving 100 gigawatt hours of energy, equivalent to 25,000 tonnes of CO2, in just three years. The energy saved could power a town with a population of 65,000 people for a year and represents a financial saving of around £10 million.

Avalon AI

Founded in 2015, London-based Avalon AI claims that it uses ML to identify potential signs of brain degeneration from brain (MRI) scans.

CPI, the Knowledge Centre for Materials Chemistry and the Henry Royce Institute are delighted to announce a collaboration that will enable the organisations to work together to help UK companies develop and commercialise products that use new advanced materials.

The AR/MR/VR Optics & Displays Market Will Grow to Over $28bn by 2030

The new IDTechEx report, "Optics and Displays in AR, VR, and MR 2020-2030: Technologies, Players and Markets", covers the complete range of optics and display technologies which are used in spatial reality products.

Gravitricity

Gravitricity is an Edinburgh based engineering company developing a gravitational energy storage device , addressing the frequency regulation electricity market.

Augmenting Healthcare with Augmented Reality

Augmented reality and mixed reality are being used more and more in hospitals by doctors and healthcare professionals to provide them with a hands-free working environment, greater flexibility with overlaying information and processing information from its camera.

Offshore Wind Power Now so Cheap it Could Pay Money Back to Consumers

The latest round of offshore wind farms to be built in the UK could reduce household energy bills by producing electricity very cheaply.

Optellum

Optellum was founded in 2016 in the UK. It has raised $1.3M of funding and has 25 employees as of Q2 2020.

Google

Since 2018, Google has been collaborating with DeepMind, Cancer Research UK, Imperial College, Northwestern University and Royal Surrey County Hospital to explore whether AI could improve the detection of breast cancer.

TG0

TG0 has developed a novel method of touch/pressure sensing, which relies on incorporating conductive material within injection molded plastic components. Touch location, gestures and pressure are then interpreted via signal processing and machine learning. Unlike other touch sensing methodologies multiple discrete electronic sensors are not needed.

The Solar Cell You Can Print

These next-generation photovoltaics show great promise: their performance competes with current technology, but they have the advantages of being flexible, lightweight, cheap to produce, and they can be printed directly onto products during manufacture.

Smart Glasses: The New Smartphone?

This article discusses the future impact of the standalone AR market. Will SmartGlasses be a short-lived trend, or become as common place as the smartphone?

Augmented and Virtual Reality: Technology of the Future, Today

By 2030, IDTechEx predicts the augmented, virtual and mixed reality market to be over $30Bn. With COVID limiting physical interaction, virtual communication and interaction will be the normal for many years to come.

Is Cell Design Limiting Electric Vehicle Thermal Management?

Thermal management of batteries for electric vehicles is a crucial issue. It is important not only for safety and thermal runaway prevention, but also for the performance and longevity of the battery.

Mixed Reality in a Time of COVID-19

Recently the versatility of mixed and augmented reality products has come to the forefront of the news, with an Imperial led project at the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. Doctors have been wearing the Microsoft Hololens headsets whilst working on the front lines of the COVID pandemic, to aid them in their care for their patients.

New Materials Make Supercapacitors Better Than Batteries

The new IDTechEx report, "Supercapacitor Materials and Formats 2020-2040" explains why supercapacitors and their variants still only constitute a modest business.
