Smart Green Batteries Win the Europe 2016 Award in Berlin

Smart Green Batteries were winners at the IDTechEx Awards at the 8th Energy Harvesting and Storage Europe 2016, held in Berlin, Germany last week.

The Tesla approach to electric traction motors

IDTechEx interviewed Tesla about their use of synchronous electric traction motors, typically referred to as induction motors or AC induction motors.

Living textile that transform based on users' needs

Microscopic humidity-sensitive bacteria can be harvested and used as nanosensors and nanoactuators. Such mechanisms are applied to fabric using custom-made micro-resolution printing technology.

New approaches to electric aircraft

At the recent IDTechEx event "IDTechEx Show!" in Berlin a poster presentation by a PhD research project Airbus aligned with the thrust of the new IDTechEx report, "Manned Electric Aircraft 2016-2031."

Canon strengthens 3D proposition through partnership with Materialise

Canon Europe has announced a new strategic partnership with Materialise NV, a leading provider of Additive Manufacturing software solutions and 3D printing services.

A new partnership for a growing industry

Bitrode Corporation and Gamry Instruments are pleased to announce that the companies have entered into an agreement to partner in the development and sales of battery test equipment utilizing the strengths and technologies of both companies.

Modular approaches to small 4 wheel vehicles and their production

At the recent IDTechEx conference "Electric Vehicles Everything is Changing" in Berlin 2 organisations presented their different approaches to a standard platform for car like four wheel small vehicles.

Engineers fabricate fastest flexible silicon transistor

Engineers have pioneered a unique method that could allow manufacturers to easily and cheaply fabricate high-performance transistors with wireless capabilities on huge rolls of flexible plastic.

Clues on the path to a new battery technology

Rechargeable lithium air batteries are a next-generation technology: Theoretically they might be much lighter and offer better performance than current lithium ion batteries. However, currently they run out of steam after only a few charging cycles.

New solar power advances for electric vehicles

This article summarises some of the future oriented presentations on solar power advances at the recent IDTechEx Show! in Berlin.

Lessons from Electric Vehicles: Everything is Changing: Part Two

This IDTechEx conference just finished in Berlin had a wide variety of future oriented presentations.

Solar cars come to market

Winnified Noorlander of Nuon Solar Team gave a riveting presentation on their remarkable winning of seven out of nine of the recent Bridgestone Solar Challenge races across Australia on sunshine alone.

Rapid progress in electric aircraft

Aurora Flight Sciences will be presenting alongside NASA and many other advanced aerospace developers at the Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency (CAFE) event.

Scientists improve perovskite solar-cell absorbers by squeezing them

Solar cells made of artificial crystalline structures called perovskites have shown great promise in recent years. Now scientists have found that applying pressure can change the properties of these inexpensive materials and how they respond to light.

Plan B Energy Storage

IDTechEx interviewed Grant Brown, VP Marketing at Plan B Energy Storage (PBES) about their engagement in the battery industry for use in industrial, commercial and large scale marine vessels applications. Plan B Energy Storage, founded in 2015, provides hardware, engineering and strategic design services to the industrial energy storage industry specifically for marine and grid energy storage applications.

Dispelix

Dr Harry Zervos spoke to Antti Sunnari, CEO and co-founder of Dispelix, a company that's looking to commercialize a new type of lightguide optic structure that could disrupt the market for AR smartglasses due to low material and manufacturing costs as well as light weight.

Small four wheel EVs go modular and mini factory

IDTechEx has long ago identified a gap in the market for a standard platform for car like four wheel small vehicles for leisure, military, mining, postal, industrial and many other purposes. At the recent IDTechEx conference "Electric Vehicles Everything is Changing" in Berlin the nonsense of every light four wheel electric vehicle being designed from scratch was addressed differently by both Altreonic and IFEVS.

Lessons from Electric Vehicles: Everything is Changing Part One

The conference "Electric Vehicles: Everything is Changing" in Berlin 27-28 April was a great success. Here we give only a glimpse at the rich insight and information presented. IDTechEx deliberately pitched the event as different from other electric vehicle conferences in looking firmly at the future including the speculative and ill-defined.

Wearable allows people with vision loss to actually see

eSight's wearable, hands-free headset houses a small, high-speed camera that captures everything the eSight user is looking at.

Cooling graphene-based film close to pilot-scale production

Heat dissipation in electronics and optoelectronics is a severe bottleneck in the further development of systems in these fields. To come to grips with this serious issue, researchers have developed an efficient way of cooling electronics by using functionalized graphene nanoflakes.
