Human-on-a-Chip: using tissue engineering to replicate the human body

An application of tissue engineering that is rapidly growing is the building of organ-on-a-chip devices.

Electric snowmobile, fast and efficient

The world's first production electric snowmobile can outperform the best combustion snowmobiles while being vastly more efficient.

Custom carpentry with help from robots

Every year thousands of carpenters injure their hands and fingers doing dangerous tasks such as sawing. In an effort to minimize injury and let carpenters focus on design and other bigger-picture tasks, a team has created AutoSaw, a system that lets nonexperts customize different items that can then be constructed with the help of robots.

UniPixel Displays, Inc.

UniPixel offers a public company offering a high-performance and low-cost transparent conductive film technology. Their technology is based on the metal mesh concept and is produced using roll-to-roll micro embossing, printing and copper plating. There are a strong contender for challenging ITO's (indium tin oxide) dominance in the transparent conductive film business.

Materion AMC

Materion Aerospace Metal Composites (AMC) are leading manufacturers of metal matrix composites. IDTechEx analyst Dr Richard Collins interviewed Andrew Tarrant (Director).

The 3D printing market will be worth $22B in 2028

From its humble beginnings in the late 1980s, through to the global force that it is today, the capabilities of 3D printing technology have expanded dramatically, to establish itself as an attractive manufacturing solution for prototyping and production.

Leo Greentier Marines

LGM is a subsidiary of Leo Motors, the first company in Korea to develop electric vehicles. LGM specialises in electric boats, and has developed a system to prevent electric shock that allows them to build e-boats with more than 40 hp. 90% of their market is in China, where they plan to retrofit millions of fishing boats to meet local emissions regulations

Off Grid Electricity Continually Reinvented

Off grid electricity production can be broadly scaled in size into four categories as shown in this article.

3D printed tissues could advance cancer research

Researchers hope to make advances in tissue replacement and cancer research through a new technology that can produce living, 3D printed bio-tissues.

India off grid - even cooking?

As India steps up its household electrification scheme and pressure on microgrids grows, it is "only a matter of time" before most Indian homes have power, the report says, suggesting that microgrids could avoid redundancy by being interactive, or interactive-capable, with the grid.

OLED TVs incorporate artificial intelligence

With AI functionality embedded in the sets, viewers can speak directly into the remote control to enjoy the ultra-convenient features of the latest advanced voice assistant technology.

Autonomous robotic kitchen assistant, now cooks burgers

'Flippy, is the world's first autonomous robotic kitchen assistant. Flippy will begin working alongside kitchen staff at CaliBurger's Pasadena, California location during lunchtime by flipping burger patties and removing them from the grill when cooked to order.

Disrupting an industry: Electric propulsion aeroplanes

New Focus at Green Technology Event

As usual, this year's IDTechEx Show! in Berlin April 11-12 has important adjustments to reflect important new trends including an 'Off Grid Energy Independence' conference.

Poisons Return in Electronics and Electrics: Escape Routes

There is a flood of new electronic and electrical devices reintroducing poisons very similar to those in tobacco smoke, diesel fumes, asbestos and other killers. There has been no tracking of what is arriving, assessing toxicity and likely prevalence. Uniquely, the new IDTechEx report, "Toxigen Materials and Alternatives in Electronics/ Electrics 2018-2028" now does just that.

India - off grid economics debate

India is one of those countries where grid electricity is often more expensive to produce than off grid excluding energy storage but grid electricity is much cheaper to the customer due to massive subsidies not available for minigrids.

Major contract for battery ferries

Havyard Group will be delivering the design for seven battery-powered ferries to Fjord1, five of which will be built at the company's own shipyard. Havyard and Fjord1 will thereby continue their partnership to achieve a green revolution on the Norwegian fjords.

Morf3D chooses EOS 3D printing technology

EOS Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technology will be used by Morf3D to manufacture production flight hardware for Boeing and Honeywell.

Squid skin could be the solution to new materials

Cephalopods—which include octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish—are masters of disguise. They can camouflage to precisely match their surroundings in a matter of seconds, and no scientist has quite been able to replicate the spectacle. But new research brings us a step closer.
