AI-Powered Agricultural Robots: Affordable Ultra-Precision?

A Revolution in Affordable Ultra-Precision? The developments in agricultural robotics, machine vision, and AI will drive a deep and far-reaching transformation of the way farming is carried out.

Chilean Company at Forefront of Race for Artificial Vascular Graft

The novel approach comprises the use of a robot. It can achieve precise geometrical, mechanical and biological personalization of tissue-like conduits thanks to the controlled and automated deposition at high resolution of biomaterials, nanofibers and cells in a unique and rapid one-step fabrication procedure.

New Fuel Cells With Twice the Operating Voltage as Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Electrification of the transportation sector — one of the largest consumers of energy in the world — is critical to future energy and environmental resilience. Electrification of this sector will require high-power fuel cells to facilitate the transition to electric vehicles, from cars and trucks to boats and airplanes.

3D Printing of Sensors Directly on Expanding Organs

In groundbreaking new research, mechanical engineers and computer scientists have developed a 3D printing technique that uses motion capture technology, similar to that used in Hollywood movies, to print electronic sensors directly on organs that are expanding and contracting. The new 3D printing technique could have future applications in diagnosing and monitoring the lungs of patients with COVID-19.

Flexible and Recyclable Optoelectronics Move a Step Closer

Australian researchers have demonstrated the strong potential for a new type of flexible, recyclable electrodes to be used in creating cheaper solar cells, touchscreens, wearable 'e-skins' and next-generation responsive windows.

New Algorithm Uses AI to Help Manage Type 1 Diabetes

Researchers and physicians using artificial intelligence and automated monitoring, have designed a method to help people with type 1 diabetes better manage their glucose levels.

Artelus

Artelus designs deep learning solutions to complement the knowledge of and assist the clinician in making faster and more accurate diagnoses. The company focuses on early diagnosis of DR in at-risk patients that are not yet showing symptoms, as treatment is often ineffective once symptoms appear.

Holst Centre (3D Electronics)

The Holst Centre works at the interface of academia and industry. It is part funded by government and partly from industrial partnerships. The focus of their work is around emerging electronics technologies, including printed, flexible and organic electronics. In this profile, we discuss their work on 3D printed electronics.

The evolution of EU gas grid, and its hydrogen integration

The need to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) has been highlighted by several organisations and officialised by the Kyoto Protocol and subsequently the Paris Agreement in 2016.

Biodegradable vs. Recyclable Plastics

Which Is Better for the Environment? In recent years, plastic production has accelerated, with global plastic set production to reach 600 million tonnes by 2030 if production continues at its current rate of growth. Most of this plastic is not biodegradable, with 30-50% of it being produced for single-use applications.

How Is COVID-19 Shaping the Future Mobility Landscape?

During the COVID-19 outbreak, the automotive industry has been hit hard by shutdowns of factories and sales around the world. The pandemic has slowed down global car sales and is shifting consumer behaviours in travel. Over the long term, COVID-19 could have a lasting impact on the mobility landscape.

AWE Digital 2020: A deeper dive into the talks

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the AWE 2020 event in California was held digitally instead of in-person. The event was held between 26th-29th of May 2020, and was attended by IDTechEx Analyst Dr. Charlotte Coles.

Bionema

Bionema is a British company that develops biopesticides, pesticides derived from nature, rather than synthetic chemicals. In June 2020, IDTechEx Analyst Dr Michael Dent spoke with Bionema founder and CEO Minshad Ansari.

Hyper-Efficient Conservation Robot

For the next several months, visitors to the Atlanta Botanical Garden will be able to observe the testing of a new high-tech tool in the battle to save some of the world's most endangered species. SlothBot, a slow-moving and energy-efficient robot that can linger in the trees to monitor animals, plants, and the environment below, will be tested near the Garden's popular Canopy Walk.

Volvo Cars' Chengdu Car Plant Powered by 100% Renewable Energy

The Volvo Cars manufacturing plant in Chengdu, the company's largest in China, is now powered by 100 per cent renewable electricity, taking the company's global renewable electricity mix in its manufacturing network to 80 per cent.

Directly Printing 3D Tissues Within the Body

A collaboration has produced a specially-formulated bio-ink designed for printing directly in the body.

Enovix

IDTechEx caught up with Enovix, a company looking to commercialise its 100% silicon anode Li-ion cells.

Parker Lord: Flame-Resistant Coatings for EV Batteries

Fire safety for EV battery packs is a key factor for consumers, OEM manufacturers and materials suppliers. Parker Lord recently hosted a webinar on this topic on 17/06/20 detailing their coatings for this application.
