How the Steam Headset Survey Reflects the Changing VR Landscape

The Steam Headset Survey is a survey taken every month by Valve, who collects information from Steam users to identify trends behind the hardware and software of the users. The changing survey results can show underlying trends of VR technology. For more information please see the relevant reports: "Augmented and Virtual Reality 2020-2030" and " Optics and Displays in AR,VR and MR 2020-2030"

Battery Technology Capable of Capturing CO2 Emissions

The University of Surrey is to begin work on a new lithium-ion battery technology that is capable of capturing CO2 emissions, following an award from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

New maneuvering on fuel cell vehicles

IDTechEx predicted ten years ago that fuel cell cars would be a failure and, on any criterion, that is true today following lacklustre sales due to no meaningful consumer proposition and consequently numerous supplier exits.

Scrona

Scrona is an early stage Swiss company that has developed a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) that enables very high resolution (<1 um) electrohydrodynamic printing via 1000s of independently controllable nozzles simultaneously. This exciting technology breaks the current trade-off between printing speed and resolution.

Cynora

Cynora is a German company focused on the development of more efficient emissive materials for OLED displays primarily utilizing TADF rather than phosphorescence. This update article discusses developments at Cynora since our previous update in 2016.

3D Electronics: An Alternative to PCBs?

Mention an electronic circuit and you are likely to picture a printed circuit board (PCB): a rigid rectangle in a characteristic green color with copper lines and a bewildering array of components soldered onto it. But does adding electronic functionality means using a PCB and thus requires shoehorning a rigid rectangle into the product?

New Flexible Electronics Research Shows Promise for Spinal Therapies

Patients recovering from spinal cord injuries or who have mobility disorders related to spinal nerve compression are frequently treated by the conditioning of the Hoffmann's reflex via non-surgical electrostimulation therapy. To track the progress of the treatment, electromyography is used to record the amplitude of the patient's muscle twitch response.
