Internet of things sensors could connect via ambient radio waves

Internet of things systems usually link networks of sensors via radio, but radios demand battery power thus limiting usability.

Thin transparent film could improve electronics and solar cells

A new nano-scale thin film material with the highest-ever conductivity in its class. The new material could lead to smaller, faster, and more powerful electronics, as well as more efficient solar cells.

3D-printed bionic skin could give robots the sense of touch

Engineering researchers have developed a revolutionary process for 3D printing stretchable electronic sensory devices that could give robots the ability to feel their environment. The discovery is also a major step forward in printing electronics on real human skin.

Cancer cells detected more accurately with artificial intelligence

Cancer cells are to be detected and classified more efficiently and accurately, using ground-breaking artificial intelligence.

IDTechEx Energy Harvesting Europe 2017 Award Winner

8power Ltd were the worthy recipients last night of the Best Technical Development within Energy Harvesting Award at the IDTechEx Show, Berlin.

IDTechEx Printed Electronics Europe 2017 Award Winners

At the 13th IDTechEx Printed Electronics Europe conference and exhibition, four companies were honoured for their great achievements in developing and commercialising printed electronics technologies. The judges of the awards were Mr. Ashutosh Tomar, Principal Engineer, Technology Strategy at Jaguar Land Rover and Professor Ulrich Moosheimer of Munich University of Applied Sciences.

Photoluminescent display absorbs, converts light into energy

By replacing the phosphor screen in a laser phosphor display with a luminescent solar concentrator, one can harvest energy from ambient light as well as display high-resolution images.

Teaching robots to teach other robots

Researchers have developed a system which allows noncoders to teach robots a range of tasks simply by providing some information about how objects are typically manipulated and then showing the robot a single demo of the task.

Persistent photoconductivity offers new tool for bioelectronics

Researchers have developed a new approach for manipulating the behavior of cells on semiconductor materials, using light to alter the conductivity of the material itself.

Lab breakthrough in 3D printing of glass

Scientists and academic collaborators have demonstrated the synthesis of transparent glass through 3D printing, a development that could ultimately lead to altering the design and structure of lasers and other devices that incorporate optics.

The technology of airborne wind energy - Part III safe power

In a short series of three articles Michiel Kruijff covers the Frequently Asked Questions for all aspects of Ampyx Power's solution. This Part III is about the tether, ground systems and our certification approach.

A few self-driving cars can dramatically improve traffic flow

The presence of just a few autonomous vehicles can eliminate the stop-and-go driving of the human drivers in traffic, along with the accident risk and fuel inefficiency it causes, according to new research.

Low-cost touch sensing added to objects of almost any shape

Touch sensing is most common on small, flat surfaces such as smartphone or tablet screens. Researchers, however, turn surfaces of a wide variety of shapes and sizes into touchpads using tools as simple as a can of spray paint.

Multi-cell additive manufacturing platform for continuous production

Stratasys Ltd took a significant step into low-volume, continuous production using additive technology when it unveiled a new product under development - the Stratasys Continuous Build 3D Demonstrator.

Underwater robots help predict how and when ice shelves collapse

To outer space and the deep ocean, add "beneath the ice" to the list of rarely charted frontiers of science exploration.

Machine learning to develop new genetic medicines

Genetic mutations are the cause of countless diseases and disorders, from cancer to autism to cystic fibrosis. Now, a startup company is applying decades of research into machine learning and genomic science to develop genetic medicines — accelerating treatments that address the root causes of these conditions.

The technology of airborne wind energy - Part II the drone

Last month, Ampyx Power signed energy giant E-ON to help test their novel green energy technology.

Billion unit production capacity for flexible integrated circuits

First FlexLogIC™ fab-in-a-box system being commissioned to enable mass market roll-out of intelligence for everyday items

When electric vehicles crash, what happens to the battery?

Safety, range and costs: these are the three big premises of electromobility. Safety definitely comes first. Lithium-based traction batteries are usually completely enclosed in the battery case and integrated in the vehicle to protect the battery from all conceivable stresses and external influences. This "armour" has an effect on construction, weight, size and overall design of the vehicle.

Germ zapping robots used in hospitals

Operating rooms are supposed to be sterile environments, but studies show that they remain contaminated with microscopic pathogens that can cause Surgical Site Infections even after they have been cleaned.
