IDTechEx report from a recent event on Wearable Technology in Fashion

Ever increasing build volume of 3D printers allows new applications

2014 has seen the release of machines with substantially bigger build volumes in a range of additive manufacturing technologies. This will allow new applications, and 3D printing to push further into the space of traditional manufacturing.

New technique could harvest more of the sun's energy

A new technology created by researchers from Caltech represents a first step toward harnessing lost energy in photovoltaic cells.

Daimler expands manufacturing capacities for lithium-ion batteries

Daimler AG is expanding the production capacities for lithium-ion batteries with investments of around 100 million Euros in the Deutsche ACCUmotive subsidiary in coming years.

New type of semiconductor could change face of consumer electronics

Materials first developed more than a decade ago with an eye toward making "transparent" transistors may be about to shake up the field of consumer electronics - and the first uses are not even based on the transparent capability of the materials.

Researchers set world record in solar energy efficiency

Researchers have converted over 40% of the sunlight hitting a solar system into electricity, the highest efficiency ever reported.

Organic electronics could lead to cheap, wearable medical sensors

Future fitness trackers could soon add blood-oxygen levels to the list of vital signs measured with new technology developed by engineers at UC Berkeley.

Simple way to make material for energy storage, electronics

Researchers have created flexible, patterned sheets of multilayer graphene from a cheap polymer by burning it with a computer-controlled laser.

Spray on power for electric vehicles and more

Load bearing structures that are also electronic or electrical are called structural electronics. This two-for-the-price-of-one approach can be more reliable, attractive and long-lived and it always saves space.

Indian supercapacitor sports car

A local Indian company has built an electric sports car, Super Nova Electric Vehicle, that can cover 1,000 kilometres with a single charge of its batteries and at the speed of some 150 kms per hour.

Powering space craft of the future

Engineers at Lancaster University are working on powering future 'giant leaps' for mankind.

Graphene commercialisation: 2014 and the outlook

2014 has been an eventful year for the graphene industry.

IDTechEx: structural electronics - never heard of it!

Structural electronics is one of the most important developments this century yet most people have never heard of it.

Emerging technologies and materials for 3D printing

IDTechEx are hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 16 December discussing emerging technologies and materials for 3D printing.

New technique offers spray-on solar power

Pretty soon, powering your tablet could be as simple as wrapping it in cling wrap.

Setting a course for carbon-free shipping

In conjunction with Fjellstrand, a Norwegian shipyard, Siemens has developed the technology for the world's first electrically-powered car ferry. The fact that the electric ship, which will enter service in 2015, causes no carbon dioxide emissions is in part due to the electricity mix in Norway.
