3D-Printed Concrete to Help Build Offshore Wind Infrastructure

Conventional concrete manufacturing methods require a mold to shape the concrete into the desired structure, which adds to costs and limits design possibilities. 3D-printing would eliminate the expenses of this mold.

Tacterion

Tacterion offers pressure sensing and data acquisition solutions based around their proprietary flexible and stretchable piezoresistive sensor platform plyon. Their plyon flex sensors are especially well suited to applications in which the sensor material is curved or is deformed during operation since they do not register a signal on bending.

LEAP Technology

LEAP Technology is a Danish company that offers custom designed flexible strain sensors and actuators, based on highly stretchable capacitors.

Self-Charging Everything: Battle for the High Ground

When some full-function, always-on smartwatches are able to self-charge, the others will look like the horse-drawn cart. When Internet of Things nodes are self-charging at the right size and price, the market for them will increase one thousand times.

Tangio

Tangio is a technology platform agnostic developer and manufacturer of printed force and touch sensing solutions, primarily for HMI applications. This includes a comprehensive range of single point Force Sensing Resistors, Potentiometers and Trackpads, plus 3D matrix sensors in which they are the market leader. Recently they have launched fuZion hybrid sensors that combine capacitive and resistive sensing.

COVID-19: The Latest Zoonotic Disease Stemming from the Meat Industry

Although the exact origin story of the COVID-19 outbreak is still uncertain, it is highly likely that the virus began as a zoonotic disease, i.e. an infectious disease caused by a pathogen that jumped from animals to humans.

Croda Energy Technologies: Immersion Cooling
