IDTechEx currently have a number of printed electronics related webinars, including 2020 end of year highlights, available to watch on-demand today. These include presentations on printed sensors, micro-LED displays and electronics reshaped.

New report available from IDTechEx - "Haptics 2021-2031: Technologies, Market & Players". This in-depth report includes ERM motors, LRAs, piezoelectric ceramics and polymers, surface haptics, SMAs, electroactive polymers, kinaesthetic and contactless haptic feedback.

This solution enables Electronics Everywhere and is digitally printing numerous electronics that power the Internet of Things. This newly introduced solution leverages the company's 3D printed electronics technology that uses conductive additive manufacturing with mass-production applications.

IDTechEx currently have a number of 3D Printing-related webinars available to watch on-demand. These include presentations on 3D electronics, metal additive manufacturing and the impact of COVID-19 on the 3D Printing Industry.

A team working has developed a highly efficient supercapacitor. The basis of the energy storage device is a novel, powerful and also sustainable graphene hybrid material that has comparable performance data to currently utilized batteries.

All agree that the 5G communications coming in now will be seriously inadequate around 2030 for desired medical electronics, robotics and more, not least because so much high-definition imaging will be needed instantly.

IDTechEx currently have a number of robotics-related webinars available to watch on-demand. These include presentations on robotic surgery, autonomous cars, robotics in agriculture and sensors.

The brand new IDTechEx report, Transparent Electronics Materials, Markets 2021-2041, is available to order today! This in-depth report explores see-through micro LED, OLED, QD displays, photovoltaic windows, electric darkening, RadarGlass, circuits, metamaterials, heaters and antennas.

We forecast minimal sales of see-through, transparent personal devices over the coming 20 years. Transparent mobile phones have been predicted from the start. However, mobile phones are expensive, essential tools.

US Chemical company, Chemours is a spin-off of Du Pont since 2015. Chemours is a market leader in the fluoropolymer titanium coating materials, although commercialising also base chemicals for industrial applications.

Metamaterials behave in a manner not seen in nature. They are not simply formulations They are constructs, not single materials as such.

IDTechEx investigate the evolution of the hydrogen market and the development of the hydrogen economies of the major countries around the world in their new report "The Hydrogen Economy, Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Production Methods".

This premium article covers some of the recalls and fire events recorded for EVs in previous years and 2020. This article will also discuss the causes and regulations around thermal runaway, as well as the impact it has on OEMs and the opportunities for material suppliers.

For ease of reading, we use the term transparent electronics to include translucent in this report. It embraces flexible, even stretchable devices but, for now, the main focus is on rigid ones.

The new IDTechEx report, "Transparent Electronics Materials, Applications, Markets 2021-2041" describes a market that will be well above $20 billion in 2041 with a substantial possible upside.

An international research team has demonstrated a novel process to modify the structure and properties of graphene, a one atom thick carbon. This chemical reaction, known as photocycloaddition, modifies the bonds between atoms using ultraviolet light.

According to research by leading business intelligence firm IDTechEx, published as "3D Printed Materials Market 2020-2030 - COVID Edition", the market for 3D printing materials has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, but plenty of market drivers point to a strong future.

IDTechEx have released their latest report on haptics, projecting that the industry will grow from $3.6bn in 2020 to nearly $5bn per year by 2025.

IDTechEx caught up with Francois Jeanneau, CEO of Novasentis. They are ramping up to another product launch following acquisition from Kemet in 2019.

There is an increasing need to prevent thermal runaway in electric vehicle batteries. There is also the increasing amount of regulation (with more anticipated) and a wide range of designs. This is all with increasingly energy dense cells and more demands with ultra-fast charging.
