A comprehensive study and market assessment of 3D lidar, with a focus on the automotive sector, reveals that while the market for lidar has expanded, the next few years will prove crucial for all involved.

Event-based sensing promises reduced data transmission requirements for movement, touch and image sensors

Wikipedia defines a smart city as an "urban area that uses different types of electronic methods and sensors to collect data". That is as ridiculous as saying the automotive industry is metal-bending.

Forecasts from IDTechEx report "Sensors 2021-2041"

Cities will become - Enjoyable, verdant, secure, affordable, independent in energy, food and water. Planners are starting to use the term, "too cheap to meter" for city electricity which will even replace all non-electric city power.

This IDTechEx premium article highlights the innovations of gas sensors and sensing systems for COVID-19 contact tracing.

Tuesday 8 December 2020 (3 sessions to choose from) - This webinar will provide a detailed assessment and outlook for these advanced materials. The talk will highlight key developments, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, company performances, geographic variations, and application areas.

Researchers have developed an ultrathin pressure sensor that can be attached directly to the skin. It can measure how fingers interact with objects to produce useful data for medical and technological applications. The sensor has minimal effect on the users' sensitivity and ability to grip objects, and it is resistant to disruption from rubbing.

Graphene materials are progressing through their own hype curve. The commercialization has been making steady progress and IDTechEx expect the graphene market to significantly grow over the next decade.

Thursday 3 December (includes Q&A session) - Printed/flexible electronics is a constantly evolving area with extensive scope for innovation. In this webinar, Dr Matthew Dyson will discuss four technical innovations learned about in 2020.

Xerox PARC presented at the virtual 'Sensors Innovation Week 2020'. They outlined their recent progress on printed gas sensors and flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) sensors.

This IDTechEx premium article looks at the role CO2 sensors may play in COVID-19 infection risk monitoring.

This IDTechEx article will focus on three common misunderstandings around the 5G market which are extremely important for decision making.

What are the main use cases for drones in 2030, 2040? Who are the major players in the drone market? What are the key drivers for market growth? What is the projected revenue for the drones market from 2020 onwards?

IDTechEx have released a new report - "Fluoropolymer Markets in Electrics, Electronics 2021-2041" - 5G, 6G, THz, EV, tribo, fuel cell, solar, battery, sensor. New applications and formulations power this market to over $14 billion in 2041.

The wearable technology market was worth nearly $70bn in 2019, having doubled in size since 2014. Sensors have provided the core features for many of these different products throughout this rise, and they will continue to be critical into future generations of products.

Triboelectric face masks, filters, harvesting: fluoropolymer centric new technology

Fluoropolymers make electricity from movement by acting as electrets, triboelectric nanogenerators, variable capacitors, pyroelectrics or piezoelectrics.

18 November 2020 - The expenditure on new technologies for emerging smart cities will pass one trillion dollars yearly. That is the subject of this webinar -sharing some of the research carried out by PhD level multilingual IDTechEx analysts worldwide for their new overview report on smart city technologies with 35 forecasts.

IDTechEx have released a new market research report on materials for printed/flexible electronics - materials for OLEDs, photovoltaics (OPV), thin film transistors (OTFTs), photodetectors (OPDs). Also carbon nanotubes, perovskites, quantum dots, functional inorganic inks, component attachment materials, conductive inks.
