Implantable devices to alter electrical impulses in the body

GSK has announced an agreement with Verily Life Sciences LLC (formerly Google Life Sciences), an Alphabet company, to form Galvani Bioelectronics to enable the research, development and commercialisation of bioelectronic medicines.

Electricity production : when enzymes rival platinum

Making a biocell that is as effective as a platinum fuel cell: that's the feat that researchers have achieved. Three years after making their first prototype biocell, the researchers have just reached a new milestone and increased its performance and stability.

Robots learn contextual commands

Despite what you might see in movies, today's robots are still very limited in what they can do. They can be great for many repetitive tasks, but their inability to understand the nuances of human language makes them mostly useless for more complicated requests.

Low-cost wearables manufactured by hybrid 3D printing

A collaboration has created a new additive manufacturing technique for soft electronics, called hybrid 3D printing, that integrates soft, electrically conductive inks and matrix materials with rigid electronic components into a single, stretchable device.

Lilium secures $90 million in funding for electric flying taxi

The investment will be used for the development of the five-seat Lilium Jet that will fly commercially, as well as to grow the current team of more than 70.

Pizza delivery using self driving vehicles

Domino's Pizza and Ford Motor Co are launching an industry-first collaboration to understand the role that self-driving vehicles can play in pizza delivery.

Green light for ultra-fine display colours

Chemical engineers have succeeded in generating ultra-pure green light for the first time. The new light-emitting diode will pave the way for visibly improved colour quality in a new generation of ultra-high definition displays for TVs and smartphones.

Solar Powered Educational Learning Library (SolarSPELL)

The PLuS Alliance has announced the winning candidates of its inaugural PLuS Alliance Prize, which recognises Research Innovation and Education Innovation.

Water-based lithium-ion batteries without explosive risks now reality

Researchers have developed for the first time a lithium-ion battery that uses a water-salt solution as its electrolyte and reaches the 4.0 volt mark desired for household electronics, such as laptop computers, without the fire and explosive risks associated with some commercially available non-aqueous lithium-ion batteries.

Autonomous mobility: disrupting last mile delivery using mobile robots

Last mile delivery remains an expensive affair in the parcel delivery business, often representing more than half of the total cost. Its importance is also growing thanks to a change in the composition of total deliveries with B2C deliveries rapidly taking on a bigger share.

Conductive inks: never ceasing to adapt

Cast you mind back a few years and you will find a conductive ink business that appeared very mature and slow moving. The boom years of the photovoltaic industry were ending, the dominant big suppliers seem well entrenched, and the technology was, at best, only incrementally improving, with new technologies such as nanoparticle inks failing to get traction. Then everything began to change.

IDTechEx Show! Exhibit Space Over 90% Sold

With over two months to go until the IDTechEx Show! at the Santa Clara Convention Center on November 15 - 16, over 90% of the exhibit space is already sold. The event brings together the hottest emerging technologies including materials, components and systems with end users, who seek to use these technologies to differentiate their products through greater capability.

The myth of EV charging station proliferation

Charging station manufacturers would have you believe that they will swamp the world with their products although they typically have no payback. The argument is that they are essential for the deployment of the pure electric on-road vehicles considered vital in combatting both global warming and deaths in cities from noxious emissions.

Paper-based electronics continues to advance

Imagine folding up a paper-thin computer tablet like a newspaper. It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but such flexible electronics are moving closer to reality.

Interactive visual novel

Makers of the popular customizable smartband, Nex, has announced the introduction of its first choose your own adventure visual novel.

Facial recognition payment system

The smile-to-pay service allows customers to place their order via a self-serve screen and to smile at the camera for payment.

Novel dot system to improve cancer detection

Researchers have developed a proof-of-concept nanosystem that dramatically improves the visualization of tumors.

Local Motors 3D prints their self driving shuttle

With streamlined 3D printing, Local Motors design engineers are able to reduce tooling costs by 50% and reduce overall production time by a staggering 90%, all while keeping part production in-house.

Continuous ceramic fibres let CMCs and MMCs take off and land

Ceramic Metal Composites (CMC) and Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) are not new concepts, but they have never reached their potential.

Battery Elimination in Electronics and Electrical Engineering

Let us be more ambitious and look at elimination of all energy storage.
