Sunseeker Duo - crossing of the Alps

Another major milestone for the Sunseeker Duo has been set. Eric and Irena Raymond repeated the 2009 adventure of the Sunseeker II, crossing of the Alps in both directions this time with the Sunseeker Duo.

Biggest trends of 2015 in 3D printing

We usually wait until December to do a round-up of the year, but 3D printing is moving so quickly at the moment, we thought it would be good to step back and take a look at the biggest trends of the year so far.

Diversification challenges in the haptics industry

The growth of handheld devices in consumer electronics has enabled fast growth in the haptics industry. With billions of units sold, global reach and near ubiquitous adoption in devices like smartphones, many companies have targeted this space as having key growth potential. However, rapid commoditization led by China has left a graveyard of haptics operations across the West, Japan and Korea, so staying ahead of this curve is crucial. Our slides here summaries our latest research on haptics technologies and markets.

Overcoming battery-related design limitations

A team of researchers have discovered a new class of printable solid-state Lithium-ion batteries that can exist on almost any surface.

Smart fabrics need a new class of batteries

As new wearable technologies are developed, researchers are looking for ways to provide power.

IoT on the ski slopes

EpicMix Time will calculate and display up-to-the-minute chairlift and gondola line wait times across 55 core lifts and gondolas, as well as 13,600 acres of skiable terrain in Colorado.

Concrete beam created with 3D printing

Researchers have developed a system to produce concrete elements that can be assembled with steel bars and beams or can compose pillars in reinforced concrete

Study explores nanoscale structure of thin films

The world's newest and brightest synchrotron light source has produced one of the first publications resulting from work done during the facility's science commissioning phase.

Video interview with Agfa at Printed Electronics Europe.

Could stronger, tougher paper replace metal?

Researchers recently discovered that paper made of cellulose fibers is tougher and stronger the smaller the fibers get.

Aluminum could give boost to capacity, power of lithium-ion batteries

Researchers have created an electrode made of nanoparticles with a solid shell, and a "yolk" inside that can change size again and again without affecting the shell.
