Graphene LIVE! USA set to become largest graphene tradeshow

Graphene LIVE! will take place on 20-21 November 2013 at Santa Clara, California.

Flexible Display Center at Arizona State University

The Flexible Display Center (FDC) has been involved in flexible displays for nearly 10 years. They have a unique expertise in North America and have enjoyed continuous funding from the US Army. They are now putting more focus on non-display applications such as X-ray detection and biochemical sensing.

No more leakage of explosive electrolytes in batteries

The development of solid-type electrolytes, safe from explosion caused by high temperature and overcharge, is urgently needed to replace the liquid electrolytes. The solid electrolyte enables batteries to be safer as well as the use of higher energy electrode materials.

Unzipped nanotubes unlock potential for batteries

Researchers at Rice University have come up with a new way to boost the efficiency of the ubiquitous lithium ion (LI) battery by employing ribbons of graphene that start as carbon nanotubes.

Opportunities for power electronics in electric vehicles

The day is coming when electric vehicles (EVs) land, water and airborne are as much as 80% electronics and electrics if we include the power components.

7th Annual CAFE Electric Aircraft Symposium: First day

This excellent event "7th Electric Aircraft Symposium" in Santa Rosa, USA was acclaimed as the best ever in the series. Over 150 people attended, an eclectic mix from NASA and Siemens to hobbyists, universities and technology startups were there.

Highlights from Printed Electronics Europe 2013 in Berlin

IDTechEx's Printed Electronics Europe 2013 Grows by Over 20%

Attendance at last week's Printed Electronics Europe 2013 event grew by over 20%. The highly successful conference and tradeshow, hosted by IDTechEx, covered the broad range of emerging materials and devices, including OLEDs, touch surfaces, TFTs, stretchable and textile electronics, energy generation and much more. Presentations, exhibitors and attendees covered the full supply chain from materials to their final application in verticals such as the media, consumer electronics, the internet of things and even vehicles.

Lithium-ion batteries: Further GS Yuasa troubles

Toyo-keizai Online, Yomiuri-online and Livedoor Online News in Japan have recently reported in Japanese on further problems with the large lithium-ion batteries produced by GS Yuasa, the Japanese company involved in the grounding of the Boeing Dreamliner worldwide due to fires in its lithium-ion batteries but also supplying lithium-ion batteries to the International Space Station.

Applications, Needs, and Requirements for Printed Electronics in Aerospace

Boeing Research & Technology, United States

Less than one week to IDTechEx' Energy Harvesting & Storage Europe

Next week Energy Harvesting & Storage and WSN & RTLS Europe will open at the ICC Berlin, Germany on April 17-18 (www.IDTechEx.com/EH). The events are co-located with Printed Electronics Europe, Graphene LIVE! and Supercapacitors Europe - with over 1,400 people already pre-registered.

Less than one week to IDTechEx's Printed Electronics Europe Event

Next week Printed Electronics Europe will open in Berlin, Germany on April 17-18 (www.PrintedElectronicsEurope.com). About 1,400 people are pre-registered - with final numbers expected to be considerably more. The conference and tradeshow covers the broad range of emerging materials and devices, including OLEDs, touch surfaces, TFTs, stretchable and textile electronics, the Internet of Things, energy generation and much more - with presentations, exhibitors and attendees covering the full supply chain.

Boeing provides details on 787 battery improvements

Boeing announced that a comprehensive set of improvements that will add several layers of additional safety features to the lithium-ion batteries on 787 commercial jetliners are in production and could be ready for initial installation within the next few weeks.

Electric Futures for Transport Conference, London: Lessons learned

Peter Stonham, Editorial Director of New Transit introduced the excellent 25 person London event then Dr Peter Harrop of IDTechEx scoped the total subject of electric vehicles, land, water and air - one industry now with best practice first occurring all over the place and rapid improvement with almost all components changing radically.

Electric aircraft transforming the whole industry

Electric aircraft are an idea whose time has come. Electrically propelled manned aircraft are selling profitably today in small numbers. They take the form of pure electric fixed wing microlights and motorised hang gliders. At the other extreme, airliners that have electric nosewheels have arrived making them electric vehicles when on the ground, hugely reducing noise and air pollution and making them independent of tugs. Yet that is only the beginning and the story is now rapidly unfolding across the whole industry.

All eyes on Supercapacitors

Supercapacitors (ultracapacitors) are now center stage for designers of electronics and particularly power circuits. This is because they are improving faster than the batteries and electrolytic capacitors they increasingly replace. More subtly, they reduce the need for and danger from lithium-ion batteries. For example, when placed across a rechargeable battery, they protect it from fast charging and discharging and allow more of the energy in the battery to be utilised. Learn more ...

Separator for improved safety in large format lithium-ion batteries

Large format batteries such as those used in electric vehicles, aircraft, grid storage or uninterrupted power supplies are more difficult to design for safety than cell phone or laptop batteries because each cell holds much more energy.

Electric vehicles land, water and air in 2013 - PART ONE

The hybrid and pure electric vehicle business will continue to prosper in 2013, with profits and growth the norm in most sectors. Laws will proliferate that make electric vehicles the only way to go.

Carbon Nanotubes find niche markets in supercapacitors for aviation

IDTechEx found companies that are focusing in niche markets for supercapacitors where the use of carbon nanotube technologies represents a justifiable value proposition.

Boeing Dreamliner: Implications for electric vehicles

IDTechEx analysts have ten years of experience of the lithium-ion traction battery business and in this article they comment on the implications for electric vehicles land, water and air of these Dreamliner batteries that are not for traction, apparently misbehaving.
