iSchemaView

IDTechEx spoke to Dr Anil Singhal, Vice President of Worldwide Operations at iSchemaView. This company's technology, RAPID, is a stroke detection platform which delivers software tools for diagnosing and treating this condition.

Organic solar cells will last 10 years in space

Over the past two decades, organic solar cells have garnered much attention thanks to their light weight, flexibility and unprecedented energy-to-weight ratios of 10 to 20 W/g, which make them a promising candidate for space applications, although their radiation stability is still poorly

Increasing energy sources for portable electronics

Scientists have proposed a new approach to replacing carbon atoms with nitrogen atoms in the supercapacitor's crystal lattice and developed a novel capacity enhancement method based on carbon lattice modification with the aid of plasma. Their findings can help create the next generation of power sources for portable electronics.

Crumpled carbon nanotube forests to power wearables

For emerging wearable tech to advance, it needs improved power sources. Now researchers have provided a potential solution via crumpled carbon nanotube forests, or CNT forests.

Gene therapy could eliminate drug side effect in Parkinson's patients

A researcher has received a $2.8 million federal grant to develop a gene therapy that could reduce and possibly eliminate a frustrating side effect of a drug commonly prescribed to Parkinson's patients.

Ubiquitous Energy names Keith Wilson as Chief Executive Officer

Ubiquitous Energy has named Keith Wilson as Chief Executive Officer. Ubiquitous Energy is a Silicon Valley technology company leading the development of transparent photovoltaics with its award-winning ClearView Power technology.

Ynvisible Interactive Inc appoints industry leaders to Advisory Board

Ynvisible Interactive Inc is pleased to announce the creation of an Advisory Board and the appointment of its first members: Dr. Michael Okoroafor, Dr. Harlan Byker, and Dr. Harri Kopola.

Light-splitting greenhouse film

Engineers have received a $2.45 million grant to develop a scalable, cost-effective greenhouse material that splits sunlight into photosynthetically efficient light and repurposes inefficient infrared light to aid in water purification.

Auto-tuning data science: New research streamlines machine learning

A new automated machine-learning system performs as well or better than its human counterparts — and works 100 times faster.

2017

Transparent solar technology represents wave of the future

See-through solar materials that can be applied to windows represent a massive source of untapped energy and could harvest as much power as bigger, bulkier rooftop solar units, scientists report.

How scientists turned a flag into a loudspeaker

A paper-thin, flexible device created not only can generate energy from human motion, it can act as a loudspeaker and microphone as well.

Fitbits for cows: The latest precision dairy cattle monitoring tech

Precision dairy cattle monitoring systems use accelerometers, just like Fitbits, to detect changes in an animal's behavior and activity.

Tackling concussions by bringing new sensor to market

Chemists are bringing their impact sensors to market. The effective, yet inexpensive, headband sensors can be worn by athletes in a variety of sports who could be at risk of suffering concussions.

Is a stretchable smart tablet in our future?

Engineering researchers have developed the first stretchable integrated circuit that is made entirely using an inkjet printer, raising the possibility of inexpensive mass production of smart fabric.

Flexible device captures energy from human motion

The day of charging cellphones with finger swipes and powering Bluetooth headsets simply by walking is now much closer.

Green plastic for printing in space

Green Plastic, which is made from sugarcane, is now being used to fabricate parts in space.

Creating 3-D hands to keep us safe, increase security

Creating a 3-D replica of someone's hand complete with all five fingerprints and breaking into a secure vault sounds like a plot from a James Bond movie.

Transparent photovoltaics a promising pathway to solar energy

With a mission to eliminate the battery life limitations of mobile devices and power smart glass for buildings, Ubiquitous Energy is implementing its ClearView Power technology into a wide range of products as an invisible, onboard source of electricity.

New material to enhance battery life

A key element of the Li-ion batteries limiting its capacity is a material used for its cathode
