Artificial skin could allow robots to feel

Artificial skin with post-human sensing capabilities, and a better understanding of skin tissue, could pave the way for robots that can feel, smart-transplants and even cyborgs.

Powering devices through blinking

A human-machine interface - a communication channel between a human and an external device - is one way to turn a virtual thought into realistic action.

The future is electric for Queensland motorists

The future of motoring in Queensland was launched at Parliament House in Brisbane - and it is electric.

Energy independent vehicles key to solving grid problems

IDTechEx Chairman Dr Peter Harrop gives his view on the recent announcement from the UK National Grid that peak impact of electric cars in the UK will be equivalent to capacity of 6 nuclear plants.

Pinpointing sources of water pollution with a robotic eel

Researchers have developed a robotic eel that swims through contaminated water to find the source of the pollution.

Building the safe genes toolkit

DARPA created the Safe Genes program to gain a fundamental understanding of how gene editing technologies function; devise means to safely, responsibly, and predictably harness them for beneficial ends; and address potential health and security concerns related to their accidental or intentional misuse.

Toward the factories of the future

Automation, robotics, advanced computer-aided design, sensing and diagnostic technologies have revolutionized the modern factory, allowing the building of complex products, from microchips to cars and even airplanes, with unprecedented cost-efficiency, scale and reliability.

Large single-crystal graphene is possible!

Boasting the conductivity, strength and flexibility we wished for, graphene was proposed as one of the most likely substitutes for silicon and other materials. Its launch into the market however is still slow. What is curbing graphene from industrial applications?

Energy-harvesting bracelet could power wearable electronics

Researchers have developed an energy harvesting bracelet that harvests biomechanical energy from the wearer's wrist movements.

Banning petrol and diesel cars is symbolically important

The UK Government has confirmed that it will end the sale of all new conventional petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2040, as it unveiled new plans to tackle air pollution.

Huge orders to come for electric buses

Cars are so yesterday. By contrast, the demand for buses will power on up, with no peaking for decades.

Be your own battery

Researchers are developing a revolutionary technology that will allow people to act as their own "power source" by wearing clothing such as "smart" shirts and shoes that harvest and store electricity.

Mobile robots will transform material handling, logistics industries

Mobile robotics in material handling and logistics will become a $75bn market by 2027. It will then more than double by 2038. These staggering headline figures mask turbulent transformative change underneath: some technologies will rise and transform the fortunes of industries, fuelling growth rates far outpacing recent trends, whilst others will face with decay and obsolescence. We are at the beginning of the beginning of a transformative change, and the time to plan is now.

Ultrathin device harvests electricity from human motion

Imagine slipping into a jacket, shirt or skirt that powers your cell phone, fitness tracker and other personal electronic devices as you walk, wave and even when you are sitting down.

How CRISPR proteins find their target

Researchers have discovered how Cas1-Cas2, the proteins responsible for the ability of the CRISPR immune system in bacteria to adapt to new viral infections, identify the site in the genome where they insert viral DNA so they can recognize it later and mount an attack.

Acquisition of CERADROP hybrid 3D digital deposition platform

The University of Texas at San Antonio strengthens multifunctional electronic materials and devices research by acquisition of CERADROP hybrid 3D digital deposition platform.

New 3D technique uses water and robotics

An international group of researchers developed a technique that results in more accurate 3D scanning for reconstructing complex objects than what currently exists. The innovative method combines robotics and water.

New world efficiency record with perovskite solar cells

A recent study finds key to produce a new cost-efficient way to produce inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite solar cells which sets a new world-record efficiency performance of 22.1 % in small cells and 19.7 percent in 1-square-centimeter cells.

Presenters promise revelations at Energy Independent Vehicle event

IDTechEx technology analyst Dr Richard Collins will present on lightweighting at Energy Independent Electric Vehicles, the world's first conference on energy independent vehicles.
