Better organic semiconductors for printable electronics

Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Seoul National University (SNU) have learned how to tweak a new class of polymer-based semiconductors to better control the location and alignment of the components of the blend.

Agreement to provide high-performance solar lighting

Lemnis Lighting and G24 Innovations received a $200,000 grant from the World Bank earlier this year for their solar powered LED light for the 'Lighting Africa' program.

KURZ launch RFID tag antenna manufacture business

While most investment in printed electronics has been by material companies, KURZ is one of the few printing companies that has invested significantly in the subject, bringing much needed printing expertise to the industry.

Entrepreneurship for a zero carbon society

With escalating concerns over climate change and unsustainable energy sources, it is of great concern that the world economy has not achieved faster levels of de-carbonisation.

The arrival of utility-scale photovoltaic solar power

One of the largest photovoltaic solar projects in the world will be located in California to deliver 1.65 billion kilowatt-hours of renewable energy annually.

The backpacker's diary with flexible screen

The Backpacker's diary is a PC concept that integrates with the form of a traditional book.

A World without wires

A World without wires is something that many of us dream about.

Alternative displays

Single-wall carbon nanotube (CNT) thin-film transistors (TFTs) are now possible for flexible displays and electronics.

Ambient intelligence

The European Commission is backing what it calls ambient intelligence (AMI), with a particular focus on the disabled. Printed electronics will be central in realising these ambitious concepts for unobtrusive devices.

2041 and G24i debut first solar sail

Dye-Sensitised Thin Film solar cells manufactured by G24 Innovations (G24i) have been integrated into the sail of Swan's '2041' boat, which is currently sailing around the world raising awareness on climate change.

Microbatteries built with viruses

MIT engineers in the USA have been working on pioneering research to develop tiny microbatteries about half the size of a human cell, built with viruses.

Ultrafast computers a step closer but OLED efficiencies look bleak

University of Utah, physicists have moved a step forward in building an organic "spin transistor": a plastic semiconductor switch for future ultrafast computers and electronics but OLED efficiencies look bleak.

Scientists mimic essence of plants' energy storage system

MIT researchers have overcome a major barrier to large-scale solar power: storing energy for use when the sun doesn't shine.

Solar cell efficiency record for space satellite markets

A world record of 40.8 percent in solar cell efficiency with a photovoltaic device has been claimed by the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the US.

E coli sensors using silk

Researchers at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, have made electronic biosensors that identify bacteria in poultry plants.

Rapid Improvements in Real Time Locating Systems

One reason why the market for Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS) is growing rapidly to pass the billion dollar mark well within ten years is technology. It is improving rapidly, with new variants for the many new sub sectors of the market that are emerging.

Printed inorganic phase change memory

Materials used in CDs and DVDs form the basis of a technology that one day could replace flash memory cards used in laptops, cellphones, cameras and other electronic devices.

3D Metamaterial

Researcher claims to have made 3D metamaterial with a negative refractive index.

Scientists create imaging device based on the human eye

some of the most compelling areas of future application involve the intimate, conformal integration of electronics with the human body in ways that are inconceivable using established technology.
