Material for better lithium-ion batteries

The batteries we use every day may soon become cheaper, smaller and lighter. Researchers have discovered a family of anode materials that can double the charge capacity of lithium-ion battery anodes.

New quantum dot solar cell world record

Researchers established a new world efficiency record for quantum dot solar cells, at 13.4 percent.

Advanced artificial limbs mapped in the brain

Scientists have used functional MRI to show how the brain re-maps motor and sensory pathways following targeted motor and sensory reinnervation, a neuroprosthetic approach where residual limb nerves are rerouted towards intact muscles and skin regions to control a robotic limb.

Avery Therapeutics

IDTechEx analyst Nadia Tsao interviewed Avery Therapeutics COO Dr Jennifer Koevary on July 26, 2017. Avery Therapeutics is a pre-clinical company developing a tissue engineered graft for heart failure.

Gamma Alloys

Gamma Alloys are manufacturers of aluminium metal matrix composites. IDTechEx technology analyst Dr Richard Collins interviewed Mark Sommer (CEO).

Graphene enables high-speed electronics on flexible materials

A flexible detector for terahertz frequencies has been developed by researchers using graphene transistors on plastic substrates. It is the first of its kind, and can extend the use of terahertz technology to applications that will require flexible electronics, such as wireless sensor networks and wearable technology.

Flexible batteries for smart dental aids

Smart 3D-printed braces that incorporate nontoxic batteries and lights could reduce the time and costs involved in realigning and straightening teeth.

'Robutt' taught to mimic motion of human bottom

A robot has been created to move like a human bottom and perfectly simulate how drivers and passengers get in and out of their car seats.

A new way to store thermal energy

A new chemical composite could be used to store heat from the sun or any other source during the day in a kind of thermal battery, and it could release the heat when needed, for example for cooking or heating after dark.

Spotlight on Hydro Extruded Solutions

Hydro is a fully integrated aluminum company with 35,000 employees in 40 countries on all continents, combining local expertise, worldwide reach and unmatched capabilities in R&D.

Spotlight on Terrafugia

Terrafugia's mission is to create practical flying cars that enable a new dimension of personal freedom.

Xperia Hello! is part of the family

Launching in Japan only from November 16th, Xperia Hello! is a communication robot that can recognise each member of the family and assist with daily life simply by talking to it.

Vagus nerve stimulation shows progress against PTSD

Researchers are exploring how mild stimulation of the vagus nerve could help alleviate symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.

5-minute extreme fast charge battery technology for electric vehicles

Enevate Corporation announces technology which features extreme fast charging in only 5 minutes with high energy density and long driving range that adds up to 240 miles (390 km)—or up to 50 miles (80 km) range with a 60-second charge.

Breakthrough in 3D printed marine grade stainless steel

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in 3D printing one of the most common forms of marine grade stainless steel - a low-carbon type called 316L - that promises an unparalleled combination of high-strength and high-ductility properties for the ubiquitous alloy.

TactoTek to supply injection molded structural electronics solution

Suunto announced that TactoTek has been awarded the mass production contract for the Suunto Movesense Smart connector, an Injection Molded Structural Electronics solution that is part of the Suunto Movesense platform. TactoTek will manufacture the Smart connector in its Oulu, Finland factory.

Artificial intelligence: Is this the future of early cancer detection?

A new endoscopic system powered by artificial intelligence has been shown to automatically identify colorectal adenomas during colonoscopy.

Rapid cellphone charging getting closer to reality

Research in lithium-ion batteries has opened up a plethora of possibilities in the development of next-generation batteries. In particular, the metal-air batteries with significantly greater energy density close to that of gasoline per kilogram, has recently been acknowledged and invested by world's leading companies, like IBM.

Robotics principles help wave energy converters

Compared to wind and solar energy, wave energy has remained relatively expensive and hard to capture, but engineers are working to change that by drawing inspiration from other industries.
