Over 10% of NHS Estate to Switch to 100% Renewable Electricity

NHS Property Services has announced two new energy contracts via Inspired Energy. British Gas will provide 100% renewable electricity and Corona will provide natural gas to all their properties across the England by April 2020.

Steady-Handed Robot Succeeds in Delicate Microsurgery

The first in-human trials of robot-assisted supermicrosurgery using a dedicated robotic platform are reported in a pilot study in Nature Communications.

Hybrid Transistor Improves Next-Generation Displays

An innovative manufacturing technique has led to the development of hybrid organic transistors for use in next-generation electronic displays and large-area electronics.

Fastest High-precision 3D Printer

3D printers working in the millimeter range and larger are increasingly used in industrial production processes. Many applications, however, require precise printing on the micrometer scale at a far higher speed.

CRISPR Could be Feasible for Fighting Cancer

Genetically-edited immune cells can persist, thrive, and function months after a cancer patient receives them, according to new data published by researchers. The team showed cells removed from patients and brought back into the lab setting were able to kill cancer months after their original manufacturing and infusion.

Teaching Tomorrow's Automobiles to Hear

Modern cars already feature a range of sophisticated systems such as remote-controlled parking, automatic lane-departure warning and drowsiness recognition. In the future, self-driving cars will also have auditory capabilities. Researchers have now developed a prototype system capable of recognizing external noises such as sirens.

GuRu

IDTechEx spoke to Behrooz Abiri, Co-founder and CTO of GuRu. They have developed a long-range wireless charging platform based on mm-wave RF.

Ambarella

Ambarella is a CA based company. In the autonomous mobility and ADAS sector, they are offering a short-range surround stereo vision system to detect objects in 3D space. The idea is that the system can compete and outperform radar and sonar.

High power thermoelectric energy harvesting starts to look good

In energy harvesting in general, there is 100 times the market potential in high power rather than low power. In this article IDTechEx explores this opportunity.

Bosch

IDTechEx interviewed Jason Zinc and a team from Bosch at CES 2020's Unveiled exhibition. They were demonstrating a "virtual visor" concept for vehicle windshields.

Phasya

Phasya: software to make judgements about physiological and cognitive state of drivers. Phasya is a firm specialized in offering a software portfolio aimed at monitoring several physiological and cognitive states.

Analog Devices

IDTechEx interviewed Roberto Munoz from Analog Devices at their booth at CES 2020. They have developed chipsets and devices aimed at doing vital sign monitoring for digital health.

Utilis

Utilis provide a satellite-based water leak detection system, which uses RADAR to identify saturated soil with potable drinking water.

Wearables for Continuous Health Monitoring

Attendees at Healthcare Sensor Innovations USA 2020 will hear from industry representatives on how the next wave of connected and wearable medical devices will bring increased benefits to patients, healthcare providers, insurers, and the pharmaceutical industry.

Off-Road Vehicle Makers Electrify to Become as Large as Car Companies

Vehicles for construction, agriculture and mining CAM have become one industry served by giants such as Caterpillar, CNH Industrial, John Deere and Komatsu but also small businesses making the new requirements such as drone systems and weeding and mine survey robots.

Molecular Diagnostics Sits at Heart of the Fight Against Coronavirus

The current outbreak of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has hit China in the past month and spread to 25 nations. Early detection and diagnosis are essential to reduce the prevalence of infectious diseases and to prevent them from becoming epidemic or even pandemic.

Software Updates Slowing you Down? Tool to Spot Slowdown

We've all shared the frustration — software updates that are intended to make our applications run faster inadvertently end up doing just the opposite. These bugs, dubbed in the computer science field as performance regressions, are time-consuming to fix since locating software errors normally requires substantial human intervention.

Ultrasound Can Selectively Kill Cancer Cells

A new technique could offer a targeted approach to fighting cancer: low-intensity pulses of ultrasound have been shown to selectively kill cancer cells while leaving normal cells unharmed.

A Wearable Exoskeleton from the PowerGrasp Project

In automobile production, industrial robots and production lines largely relieve people of having to work with heavy loads. This is not the case for people who work in a trade or in care, where the body can be heavily burdened by hard work. In the PowerGrasp project, a second skin provides additional strength.
