World's smallest wearable device

A professor, working in conjunction with the global beauty company L'Oréal, has developed the smallest wearable device in the world. The wafer-thin, feather-light sensor can fit on a fingernail and precisely measures a person's exposure to UV light from the sun.

Technique to allow AI to learn words in the flow of dialogue developed

A group of researchers at Osaka University has developed a new method for dialogue systems. This new method, lexical acquisition through implicit confirmation, is a method for a computer to acquire the category of an unknown word over multiple dialogues by confirming whether or not its predictions are correct in the flow of conversation.

The Desalination Megatrend

The world has very little fresh water and it is running out. The fresh water of the ice caps is falling into the salty sea which is already 97% of the world's water. Rising sea levels will cause mayhem with the supplies of most of the world's cities because they sit low down near the sea. Much of India's water table drops around 0.3 meters a year. Why? Well Indians basically and there are going to be a lot more of them. Recycling of water is practiced only by a tiny percentage of the world's countries.

Roads Generate Electricity for Even the Toughest Tasks

A solar roof on a road will make twice as much electricity per unit area compared to a solar road and be more easily upgraded to affordable higher efficiency PV as it becomes available.

Prellis Biologics

IDTechEx analyst Nadia Tsao interviewed Prellis Biologics' CSO Dr Noelle Mullin on November 13, 2017. Prellis is developing a laser-based 3D bioprinting system.

Next-gen flexible robots move and heal like us

Soft robots contain tremendous potential for future applications as they adapt to dynamic environments and are well-suited to closely interact with humans. The soft devices can perform a variety of tasks, including grasping delicate objects, such as a raspberry and a raw egg, as well as lifting heavy objects.

Wearable sensors for plants

Researchers have developed a process for fabricating intricate graphene patterns on tape.

Study boosts hope for cheaper fuel cells

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes or modified graphene nanoribbons may be suitable replacements for platinum for fast oxygen reduction, the key reaction in fuel cells that transform chemical energy into electricity, according to Rice University researchers.

Thermoelectric power generation at room temperature: Coming soon?

Thermoelectric materials could play a key role in future technologies. Although the applications of these remarkable compounds have long been explored, they are mostly limited to high-temperature devices.

Removable implant may control type 1 diabetes

For the more than 1 million Americans who live with type 1 diabetes, daily insulin injections are literally a matter of life and death. And while there is no cure, a research team has developed a device that could revolutionize management of the disease.

Printing nanoparticle based conductive ink

The Voltera V-One creates prototype circuit boards on your desk.

Laser evaporation technology to create new solar materials

Materials scientists have developed a method to create hybrid thin-film materials that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to make. The technique could be the gateway to new generations of solar cells, light-emitting diodes and photodetectors.
