Scientists print low cost radio frequency antenna with graphene ink

Scientists have moved graphene a significant step along the path from lab bench novelty to commercially viable material for new electronic applications.

Wearables may get boost from boron-infused graphene

A microsupercapacitor may find its way into personal and even wearable electronics is getting an upgrade. The laser-induced graphene device benefits greatly when boron becomes part of the mix.

Moth's eye and lotus leaf inspire solar panel coating

A moth's eye and lotus leaf were the inspirations for an antireflective water-repelling, or superhydrophobic, glass coating that holds significant potential for solar panels.

Highly conductive material for 3D-printing of circuits

Scientists have invented a new type of thermoplastic thread that can be used in 3D printers to create functional circuits for use in electrical gadgets.

World's first sodium-ion powered vehicle

Developed by British battery start-up firm Faradion in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering and Oxford University, a sodium-ion powered vehicle was demonstrated in an e-bike application as a proof-of-concept to showcase the capabilities of this new type of battery chemistry.

Performance and durability combine in liquid crystal transistors

Researchers have designed a smectic liquid crystal that overcomes many of the challenges posed by organic field effect transistor materials.

Advanced Graphene Products

Advanced Graphene Materials (AGP) was spun off in 2012 from Lodz University of Technology in Poland. Under the brand name High Strength Metallurgical Graphene, It is developing poly-crystalline graphene sheets that are mechnically stronger than CVD graphene.

Carbon nanotubes quietly making a comeback?

Carbon nanotubes were the wonder material more than a decade ago. We think that multi-walled carbon nanotubes are being pulled out of the valley of despair thanks to a series of real applications in the conducting composite and energy storage sectors.

The Intelligent Soldier System - Military Wearables

The military is a driving force for many types of technology development, but wearable technology integration is a gradual and challenging process. IDTechEx report from the latest event on this topic.

Last men standing in OLED lighting

The OLED lighting market has consolidated in the past year. Panasonic has given up its OLED lighting manufacturing ambitions, despite being the record champion holder only a few years ago. Philips Lighting also recently gave up and sold its IP and assets to OLEDWorks, an American start-up with high ambitions for fully automated manufacturing of OED panels. None of these events came as a surprise to us and here we summarize why.

Translating thought to print

Coupling multiscale modeling with emerging microscale 3D-printing techniques, scientists enabled a pathway to directly fabricate and test synthetic web structures by design.

TransPower heavy-duty electric vehicle technologies

Transportation Power Inc has announced results of independent laboratory testing at the University of California, Riverside.

New shortcut to solar cells

Scientists have found a way to simplify the manufacture of solar cells by using the top electrode as the catalyst that turns plain silicon into valuable black silicon.

E-skin and pocket-sized diagnostic machines give patients the power

Wearable E-skin that can measure heart rate and blood pressure, and paper diagnostic machines the size of a credit card that can give instant readings on blood and saliva samples.

Huge success of 3D Printing Europe

The IDTechEx team are all back in the office after an exhausting, but thoroughly enjoyable week, at IDTechEx Show! incorporating 3D Printing Europe. The 11th annual IDTechEx event in Europe was the biggest and best yet!

Intelligent mouthguard to record our daily grind

SmartSplint will be able to deliver up to date, personalised information about bruxism right to the patient's phone and help them to understand their condition better and perhaps point to how they could modify their lifestyles to reduce how much they grind.

SolarRoad produces more energy than expected

SolaRoad is in a pilot phase for a three year period, where various measurements and tests are being performed as input to further development.
