Toyota to Debut Three New Electrified Vehicles for US Market

Toyota Motor North America announced plans to debut in the US market this year, three new electrified models - two BEVs and a PHEV.

Surgical Robots Revolutionise Prostate Cancer Treatment

Researchers have developed a minuscule robot that could revolutionize surgical procedures for treating prostate cancer, which affects one in nine men in the United States. Using a lifelike model, the team demonstrated that the surgical robot could not only remove the prostate gland and tissues through the urethra, but also accomplish the difficult step of suturing the bladder to the urethra.

Silicon Anode Structure Generates Potential for Li-Ion Batteries

New research has identified a specific building block that improves the anode in lithium-ion batteries. The unique properties of the structure was built using nanoparticle technology,.

Wearable Device Turns the Body into a Battery

Researchers have developed a new, low-cost wearable device that transforms the human body into a biological battery.

3D Printing Polymers

Researchers have developed the first 3D-printable "bottlebrush" elastomer. The new material results in printed objects that have unusual softness and elasticity — mechanical properties that closely resemble those of human tissue.

Smart Sensor Bandage to Prevent Chronic Wounds

In a time of COVID-19 restrictions and minimal travel, many people are turning to virtual doctor appointments and consultations as a safer alternative to in-person doctor visits. Researchers at are working to make this new wave of telemedicine more successful by creating an oxygen-sensing patch printed on a flexible, disposable bandage that can interact with a smartphone. This smart bandage could enable remote monitoring for the early detection of illnesses such as pressure ulcers, allowing for immediate treatment or intervention.

It aims to assist its members in commercializing printed/flexible electronics technologies. PrintoCent offer a pilot factory environment, facilitate collaboration, and provide business development services.

Soft Robots use Camera and Shadows to Sense Human Touch

Soft robots may not be in touch with human feelings, but they are getting better at feeling human touch. Researchers have created a low-cost method for soft, deformable robots to detect a range of physical interactions, from pats to punches to hugs, without relying on touch at all. Instead, a USB camera located inside the robot captures the shadow movements of hand gestures on the robot's skin and classifies them with machine-learning software.

The Water Industry Needs to Modernize its Networks

The WHO said in 2019 that over 70% of the world's population have access to clean water. Clean water is required by all and is a product that has a direct impact on the consumer. Many companies must meet targets and goals set by their country or industry body with water cleanliness and pollution monitoring. However, unlike the oil and gas industry, the water industry is behind with its uptake of digitization and in the monitoring of networks in many countries across the globe.

Electric Motorcycle Market Growth in 2020 is on Par with Electric Cars

IDTechEx expects electric motorcycle sales in Europe, the market with the most potential for high power electric two-wheelers, to grow at least 50% year-on-year in 2020, building on the momentum of recent years.

3D Printed Bioresorbable Airway Stent

A research team is using 3D printing to produce a new type of bioresorbable airway stent. This could greatly simplify the future treatment of upper airway obstruction.

Eminox Collaborates with RheEnergise on Energy Storage Project

Eminox announced a major new partnership with pumped energy storage innovator RheEnergise. UK start-up RheEnergise promises to solve the issue of cost-effectively storing energy from intermittent sources such as solar and wind through an innovative, environmentally friendly approach that is significantly cheaper than battery storage.

Consortium Launches Zenid - Sustainable Aviation Fuel from Air

The aviation industry is responsible for 3% of global manmade CO2 emissions and has the challenging objective to reduce these emissions in the next decade significantly. Unlike road transport, aviation cannot switch to electric or hydrogen propulsion yet and therefore depends on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). SAF purely made from air via direct air capture technology and renewable electricity offers a carbon-neutral solution suitable to meet the industry's high demands for renewable fuels in the future.

Eco Wave Power Engineering Permit for EWP-EDF One Project
