The various forms of medical imaging & how AI can enhance them

IDTechEx has produced a series of articles focused on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical diagnostics. More specifically, this articles series revolves around image recognition AI as a disease detection tool using medical scans. It provides an in-depth look at various trends and innovations, from both a technological and commercial standpoint.

Upcoming Webinar on the Topic of Hydrogen Economy

In this webinar, IDTechEx Technology Analyst Daniele Gatti, will provide a complete overview of the hydrogen economy, and technical specifics of fuel cells and electrolysers.

New Electronic Material for Wearables and Soft Robots

Imagine a flexible digital screen that heals itself when it cracks, or a light-emitting robot that locates survivors in dark, dangerous environments or carries out farming and space exploration tasks. A novel material developed could turn these ideas into reality.

End-of-life electric vehicle batteries: recycling or second-life?

With the rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), the demand for Li-ion batteries will grow significantly in the coming decades. As EV batteries beginning to reach their end-of-life, we will see an exponential growth of retired EV batteries available for recycling in the coming decades.

Successful First Flight of the World's Largest All-Electric Aircraft

magniX and AeroTEC announced the successful flight of an all-electric Cessna Grand Caravan 208B. As the world's largest all-electric commercial aircraft, this is a significant milestone in disrupting the transportation industry and accelerating the electric aviation revolution.

Upcoming Webinar - Wearables in 2020: The Impact of COVID-19

The webinar will provide updates across each product type within wearables, confirming 2019 shipment data and reviewing the historic market trend that has brought us into 2020, and then discussing the significant impact which COVID-19 is having in each sector.

Upcoming Webinar - What to Know about Micro-LED Displays

In this webinar, presented by IDTechEx Principal Analyst Dr Xiaoxi He, will give an introduction of micro-LED displays and things you should know about them. We will talk about 2-3 technologies involved in micro-LED fabrication with more details.

IDTechEx, host of the world's largest event series on Printed & Flexible Electronics, broadcast this virtual event last week featuring Coca-Cola, Swarovski, Electrolux, Neotech AMT, Ynvisible, Roartis and IDTechEx. Watch on-demand.

Agricultural Robots and AI: A Question of When and Not If

Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) will drive a deep and transformative change in the agricultural world during the coming decades. Seeing, localising, and taking plant-specific intelligent action are no longer the exclusive realm of humans.

Rolls-Royce, Daimler Truck Plan Stationary Fuel Cell Sytems

Daimler Truck AG and Rolls-Royce plc plan to cooperate on stationary fuel-cell generators as CO2-neutral emergency power generators for safety-critical facilities such as data centers.

Hydropower Plants to Support Solar and Wind Energy in West Africa

Hydropower plants can support solar and wind power, rather unpredictable by nature, in a climate-friendly manner. A new study in the scientific journal Nature Sustainability has now mapped the potential for such "solar-wind-water" strategies for West Africa: an important region where the power sector is still under development, and where generation capacity and power grids will be greatly expanded in the coming years.

Bionic Eye that Works Like the Real One

A research team has developed an artificial visual system that uses a spherical biomimetic electrochemical eye with hemispherical retina made of a high-density perovskite nanowire array.

Miele Downloadable 3D Printing Templates for Exclusive Accessories

With 3D4U, Miele is the first company in its industry to offer its customers a broad range of 3D-printable accessories.

MXene as a Novel Electrode Material for Next-Generation Display

Researchers have reported the first efficient flexible light-emitting diodes with a two-dimensional titanium carbide MXene as a flexible and transparent electrode.

First Full Electric Aircraft Refueller Transporter

Gaussin and Total are jointly developing the world's first full electric aircraft refuelled transporter. Planned for the Airbus industrial site in Toulouse, this prototype will be capable of towing two fuel tankers, with a fuel capacity of 30 tons each. Delivery is expected at the end of 2020.

Solar Energy Farms Offer Second Life for Electric Vehicle Batteries

As electric vehicles rapidly grow in popularity worldwide, there will soon be a wave of used batteries whose performance is no longer sufficient for vehicles that need reliable acceleration and range. But a new study shows that these batteries could still have a useful and profitable second life as backup storage for grid-scale solar photovoltaic installations, where they could perform for more than a decade in this less demanding role.

Novel Electric Impulses Relieve the Pain

An important step forward has now been achieved: the microanatomy of the vagus nerve branches in the human ear, in relation to auricular blood vessels, has been studied with a precision on a micrometer scale.

Large Scale Stretchable and Transparent Electrodes

A research team has developed a large-scale stretchable and transparent electrode for the stretchable display.
