Keynotes at Energy Harvesting, WSN and Supercapacitors USA 2012

Some of the highlights of the keynote presentations at the 2012 IDTechEx conferences on energy harvesting, storage, wireless sensor networks and supercapacitors are presented.

'Cloning' could make structurally pure nanotubes for nanoelectronics

Researchers have demonstrated a technique for growing virtually pure samples of single-wall carbon nanotubes with identical structures, a process they liken to "cloning" the nanotubes.

Super efficient solar steam

Scientists have unveiled a revolutionary new technology that uses nanoparticles to convert solar energy directly into steam.

How to manufacture printed electronics - live print demonstration

On Dec 5-6, the Printed Electronics USA conference and exhibition in Santa Clara, CA, will feature "Manufacturing Street" - its first live, multi-technology, printed electronics demonstration.

First test run of the MAHLE Range Extender

For vehicles with battery-electric drive, the use of a range extender appears to be a suitable solution to ensure a range approaching that of a conventional vehicle. The Stuttgart specialist MAHLE Powertrain has developed their own range extender, with flexible mounting position, in just 10 months without the support of an OEM.

Organic electronics: state of the art

A one day event to review the state of the art of organic lighting displays (OLEDs), OLED Lighting and organic photovoltaics (OPV).

Novel etch method produces 3D microstructures in silicon

Researchers have developed a novel method to produce photonic crystals to manipulate optical signals.

KAR GT prototype delivers range of 150 miles per charge

KleenSpeed Technologies is set to reveal the "most intelligent car ever conceived" - the KleenSpeed World KAR GT prototype - on Wednesday November 21 in San Francisco.

High brightness tetrapod quantum dots developed

With this advancement, Quantum Materials Corp. Tetrapod Quantum Dots can be produced with a quantum yield greater than 80%, a brightness that increases the performance of this fluorescent marker alternative in biological assays and other applications.

Piezotech (Arkema group)

In 2010, Arkema acquired Piezotech, a french chemical company, and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Arkema Group as part of the Performance Products segment.

Award for railroad energy harvesting

An innovative energy harvester that has the potential to save millions of dollars in energy costs for railroads while reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

OnStar debuts future EV solutions

At the GM Electrification Experience, OnStar is showing two new apps to address the possible range anxiety of electric vehicles and the cost of public charging.

For energy storage devices, thin is in

A flex­ible and trans­parent super­ca­pac­itor, a device that stores energy as an elec­trical field instead of a chem­ical reac­tion, as bat­teries do.

Brewer Science leads in carbon nanotube materials development

Brewer Science introduces easy-to-implement conductive carbon nanotube inks that are stable, concentrated, and designed especially for printed electronics applications.

Breakthrough in non-rare-earth electric motor design

UQM Technologies has made a significant breakthrough in the development of non-rare-earth magnet electric motor design as part of the work being done under the Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Research and Development Grant.

Tiny oral sensor may one day help dentists

The device, attached temporarily to a tooth, could one day help dentists fine-tune treatments for patients with chronic periodontitis, for example, or even provide a window on a patient's overall health.

Hybrid nanomaterial converts light and thermal energy into electricity

Researchers have created a hybrid nanomaterial that can be used to convert light and thermal energy into electrical current, surpassing earlier methods that used either light or thermal energy, but not both.

IDTechEx Energy Harvesting and WSN USA 2012 Awards, Washington DC

IDTechEx announced the winners of the 3rd Energy Harvesting and Wireless Sensor Networks USA awards last week, at the conference held in Washington, DC and attended by over 300 people.

EV lessons from Energy Harvesting and Supercapacitors event

The key enabling technologies of electric vehicles, whether by land, water or air and whether hybrid or pure electric are now at least six in number.
