Food meets technology at your table

Naulo is the first digitized robotics restaurant in Nepal where you can order food right from your table embedded with touch screens and wait for the robots built in Nepal to serve you.

USA power supply not ready for summer heatwaves

Los Angeles has had blackouts and soaring electricity prices. Electricity prices across the nation have jumped to as much as double for late summer. The Secretary of Energy is calling for subsidies to make otherwise noneconomic coal and nuclear power plants available to the grid.

This bright blue dye is found in fabric could it also power batteries?

A sapphire-colored dye called methylene blue is a common ingredient in wastewater from textile mills. But scientists think it may be possible to give this industrial pollutant a second life. In a new study, they show that the dye, when dissolved in water, is good at storing and releasing energy on cue.

The future of diesel gensets: what are the long term prospects?

With most of the big players posting healthy figures in Q2, diesel genset revenues are showing continued growth throughout 2018. Are these results a sign of things to come or are they merely delaying an inevitable future decline?

Technology for Diabetes Management: Technology, players and markets

IDTechEx Research has recently released a new market report 'Technology for Diabetes Management, 2019-2029: Technology, Players and Forecasts', including details of glucose test strips, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pumps, insulin pens, digital health / digital therapeutics, side effect management and diagnosis.

Dongfeng Nissan begins production of Sylphy Zero Emission electric car

The Nissan Sylphy Zero Emission, the first Nissan electric car made for China, has begun rolling off the production line.

Seeking a new element in artificial intelligence: trust

For decades, the cybersecurity community has devised protections to fend off malicious software attacks and identify and fix flaws that can disrupt the computing programs that are central to all aspects of life. Now, a team of researchers has received a grant to develop some of the first tools to bring those same protections to artificial intelligence systems.

Novel process to 3D print graphene

Researchers have developed a novel way to 3D print complex objects of one of the highest-performing materials used in the battery and aerospace industries.

Beer waste transformed into energy-efficient window covering

Can a new type of transparent gel, made from readily-available beer waste, help engineers build greenhouses on Mars? Physicists have developed an insulating gel that they say could coat the windows of habitats in space, allowing the settlers inside to trap and store energy from the sun—much like a greenhouse stays warm during the winter. And unlike similar products on the market, the material is mostly see-through.

These robots are tiny. And they are awesome

No one said building tiny robots was easy. But the payoff? Huge. Inspired by the strength, speed, and agility of insects microrobots could be used to help avoid catastrophic collapses by inspecting bridges and other large infrastructure, or deployed in search scenarios after a natural disaster such as an earthquake. In effect, robots the size of an ant could go where humans can't or shouldn't—accessing tight spaces, operating under various weather and safety conditions, and autonomously executing tasks for long periods of time—to help save lives.

PWRstation

PWRstation is a Swiss start-up company that has developed a retractable folding racking system for the mounting of solar panel modules. The technology is designed for containerized solar systems used in off grid emerging markets and industries. IDTechEx spoke with PWRstation's Business Development Manager Malcolm Truman to find out more.

European smart cities €30 million project

+CityxChange has just secured EU Horizon 2020 Smart Cities and Communities funding for a €30 million project. 11 enterprises, 9 SMEs, 3 non-profit organisations and 2 universities will be led by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in the development of smart positive energy cities across Europe.

Screen-printed electrodes could unlock hydrogen as an affordable fuel

Creating a renewable and sustainable source of energy from hydrogen that is also affordable could be unlocked with a university's innovative use of screen-printed nanotechnology.

Toyota and Uber collaborate on automated vehicles

Toyota and Uber have agreed to expand their collaboration with the aim of advancing and bringing to market autonomous ride-sharing as a mobility service at scale.

GPS for inside your body

Investigating inside the human body often requires cutting open a patient or swallowing long tubes with built-in cameras. But what if physicians could get a better glimpse in a less expensive, invasive, and time-consuming manner?

LG's first human-centric robot designed for industry and healthcare

Unlike previously announced robots from LG such as Guide Robot, Cleaning Robot and Serving Robot, the LG CLOi SuitBot doesn't navigate airport lounges and hotel hallways by itself. What it does is support and enhance a user's legs to allow for more mobility and lower limb strength.

Nuance

Nuance Communications is a multinational computer software technology company providing speech and imaging applications and solutions. The most important speech technology of Nuance is speech recognition (SR). Besides, the company is specialised in speech synthesis, voice recognition, etc. In the global speech market, more than 80% of speech recognition systems used to be based on Nuance SR engine.

Barrier Films & Thin Film Encapsulation 2018-2028

Barrier Films and Thin Film Encapsulation for Flexible and/or Organic Electronics 2018-2028 offers a detailed technology analysis assessing R2R multilayer barrier (MLB) film technologies, various inline thin film encapsulation (TFE) techniques, R2R spatial atomic layer deposition (s-ALD), flexible glass and more.

Ambev Brewery to have 1/3 of its third-party fleet electric by 2023

Ambev, owner of brands such as Skol, Brahma, Antarctica and Guaraná, announced that by 2023, it will use 1,600 electric trucks made by Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus to transport beverages.

Progressing 3D printed biological implants

The overall goal of TRANSITION, the five-year project funded under Science Foundation Ireland's Spokes programme, is to develop a new class of 3D printed biological implants that will regenerate, rather than replace, diseased joints.
