This is a more informative version of an article we have published recently. Read on to find out more about how Car manufacturers are issuing a flood of plug-in hybrid cars.

How We Shall Cope with a Shortage of Lithium-ion Batteries

At some stage in the next ten year, there is likely to be a shortage of lithium-ion batteries. Included in this article are possible reasons and proposed solutions.

World Copper Conference 2019 Highlights

IDTechEx Analysts attend the World Copper Conference 2019, here is their report.

Electric Car Gloom Yet Forecasts Increased

It is a bit surreal. There is far more negative press comment about pure electric cars than positive yet most analysts, including IDTechEx, have revised their forecasts upwards. In this article, you will find some of the forecasts of others expressed as the number in use.

New mechanism allows lower energy requirement for OLED displays

Scientists have found a way to significantly reduce the amount of energy required by organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). OLEDs have attracted attention as potential replacements for liquid crystal diodes, since they offer advantages such as being flexible, thin, and not requiring backlighting.

International Space Station to test 3D printed materials

This project will provide a systematic analysis of 3D printed materials for radio frequency space systems, especially for Nano-satellites.

Fleet of "roboats" could collect garbage

The city of Amsterdam envisions a future where fleets of autonomous boats cruise its many canals to transport goods and people, collect trash, or self-assemble into floating stages and bridges.

Self-healing DNA nanostructures

DNA assembled into nanostructures such as tubes and origami-inspired shapes could someday find applications ranging from DNA computers to nanomedicine.

First stand-alone solar-powered poultry house

Auburn University's National Poultry Technology Center and Tyson Foods Inc announced the opening of the largest stand-alone solar powered poultry house to be operated completely off the grid.

Robot baristas hard at work in South Korea

The world's first 5G-connected robot cafe franchise now has 45 robot-equipped outlets. The second-generation smart robot barista can communicate directly with customers.

A 3-D printer powered by machine vision and artificial intelligence

Objects made with 3-D printing can be lighter, stronger, and more complex than those produced through traditional manufacturing methods. But several technical challenges must be overcome before 3-D printing transforms the production of most devices.

An affordable way to store clean energy

Renewable energy sources can fluctuate in the amount of power they are able to provide - which is why batteries are used to temporarily store the energy. The problem with lithium ion batteries is their short service life, while redox flow batteries have, to date, been cost-prohibitive.
