New UAV can launch from underwater for aerial missions

Researchers have developed an innovative unmanned aerial vehicle that can stay on station beneath the water, then launch into the air to perform a variety of missions.

Applications of Printed Electronics in Health Monitoring

A really strong theme of 2016FLEX was applications in wearable technologies, and in particular in health monitoring. This article summarizes some of the key announcements and progress being made in this area.

Smartwatches can now track your finger in mid-air using sonar

As mobile and wearable devices such as smartwatches grow smaller, it gets tougher for people to interact with screens the size of a matchbook. That could change with a new sonar technology.

New advanced 3D printed electronics equipment

The advanced Aerosol Jet 5X system was specifically developed to enable a new generation of lighter weight, high performance smart devices for consumer and industrial Internet of Things applications.

New bra could detect breast cancer

Research suggests that the presence of abnormal cells generates more blood supply, resulting in a change in the temperature of the breasts. Through infrared sensors which determine the temperature difference in both breasts, it is possible to detect abnormal tissues.

Hybrid, solar and biofuel-powered aircraft

Scientist and former yachtsman Raphael Dinelli has developed the 'Eraole', a hybrid, solar and biofuel-powered aircraft.

Smart Eyewear updates from the Wearable Technology Show

IDTechEx attended the Wearable Technology Show, at London's Excel Exhibition Centre on March 15th 2016. The following article describes some of the key technology and commercial progress updates from several of the players present at this event.

Updates from WTS16: Clothing, e-textiles and flexible electronics

IDTechEx met with many existing and a couple of new contacts from the smart clothing space at the Wearable Technology Show, in London's Excel Exhibition Centre. Commercial momentum is growing very slowly in these spaces as players approach the markets for the first time, and the competition is beginning to heat up. This article summarises IDTechEx's learnings at the show.

The ever-expanding applications for wearable motion sensing

Many of the most prominent examples of wearable technology today revolve around algorithms that take data from sensors such as IMUs and purpose it towards useful causes. As such, many companies have developed their own systems for making the most of this data. This article details some of the more recent examples of products that IDTechEx have seen at various events.

Energy harvester assault pack lightens soldier's load

Radios, GPS systems and night-vision goggles are just a few of the electronic devices carried by dismounted Soldiers, but all require batteries that can add up to 15 pounds to a Soldier's load.

New roll to roll slot die/screen printing and encapsulation capability

The Centre for Process Innovation has recently installed a specialist roll to roll line for the printing, coating and patterning of a range organic and inorganic solution based coatings.

Amputee feels texture with a bionic fingertip

An amputee was able to feel smoothness and roughness in real-time with an artificial fingertip that was surgically connected to nerves in his upper arm.

Energy independent electric vehicles: here come the benefits!

Energy independent electric vehicles (EIVs) vary from the new Inergy boat entirely driven by a 70kW vertical wind turbine to the autonomous solar aircraft flying at 60,000 feet for five years on sunshine alone.

Researchers turn carbon dioxide into sustainable concrete

A team of researchers has been working on a unique solution to create a closed-loop process: capturing carbon from power plant smokestacks and using it to create a new building material — CO2NCRETE — that would be fabricated using 3D printers.
