The value stored in storage

Canadian company Electrovaya, with the help of investment promotion agency Germany Trade & invest (GTAI), acquired Germany's Litarion in Kamenz, Saxony.

A technique designed to predict how much energy waves bring

The EOLO group has developed a technique to forecast wave energy several hours in advance.

Nascent Objects, Inc

Nascent Objects is a California-based start-up that 3D prints electronics. It enables printing 3D plastic objects with highly conducting interconnects embedded into the 3D printed structure. Nascent has developed its own specially-formulated ink, metallization technique, library of interchangeable components and a software that allows users to build their own 3D printed electronic components. This technology can help bridge the gap between standard electronic components and 3D printing, enabling a new wave of functional product development.

Battery-free smart camera nodes

Scientists have shown that a network of energy-harvesting sensor nodes equipped with onboard cameras can automatically determine each camera's pose and location using optical cues. This capability could help to enable networks of hundreds or thousands of sensors that could operate without batteries or external power and require minimal maintenance.

CENEX LCV Event: Range Extenders

Magnetic fields provide a new way to communicate wirelessly

Engineers have demonstrated a new wireless communication technique that works by sending magnetic signals through the human body.

Emerging application areas for silver nanoparticle inks

Silver nanoparticles have been in the technology-push and pre-commercialisation phase for almost a decade now. May companies have come and gone, and yet success has remained largely elusive. The mood is however beginning to turn. The business landscape, once dominated by small pioneering firms, now also includes large suppliers. The end users, once put off by the high up-front price as well as performance uncertainty of Ag nanoinks, are now seriously engaged. This article gives a top-level overview of several emerging applications areas.

Instrument for water vapor transmission rate evaluation

In this article, written by Bernard Kabyemela of Uniglobe Kisco Inc, Bernard reports on an ultrasensitive and stable instrument for water vapor transmission rate evaluation. Water vapor permeated through gas barrier is condensed by a cold trap and measured by a mass spectrometer.
