The empty frames hanging inside the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum serve as a tangible reminder of the world's biggest unsolved art heist. While the original masterpieces may never be recovered, a team from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) might be able to help, with a new system aimed at designing reproductions of paintings.

The event Battery & Energy Dec 4-5 Coventry University ended with a second day of presentations and discussion panels.

Haydale's unique capacitive coding system will revolutionise the anti-counterfeit technology. Officially launched at the IDTechEx conference and with a security printer already using the technology.

Invention can use fluorescing carbon nanotubes to reveal stress in aircraft, structures.

At "Battery and Energy" Warwick University UK Day One with about 100 delegates and 10 table top exhibitors.

Flectrode Technology Limited (Flectrode) is a Hong Kong based entity developing a novel embedded metal mesh transparent conductive film (TCFs) solution.

Technology analyst Dr Bryony Core reports on her findings at the IDTechEx Show! Santa Clara 2018

2018 saw a significant step for aerogels in consumer electronics - but what is an aerogel? The Dell XPS 13 launched at CES 2018 and included the use of a material called silica aerogel for improved thermal performance. Aerogels are often dubbed "space-age technology" with most internet searches directing the reader towards use cases in the NASA stardust probe and Mars Rover, but the history, material diversity, and commercial status are very different.

On 4-6 December 2018 IDTechEx Research is hosting six half-day forums which will provide vital business intelligence on advanced functional materials covering material production techniques, performance versus market need, applications, players and forecasts. In this article, we highlight some of the trends that will be covered in the forums.

Update from IDTechEx Show! USA 2018

In this article we will provide a high level comparison of several technologies against IME competing against in-mold electronics.

IDTechEx interviewed Hank Lee, Vice President of the Medical Device department at Asiatic Fiber Corporation at their booth at the IDTechEx Show.

Anisoprint has developed a continuous fiber 3D Printing process. Dr Fedor Antonov (CEO) spoke with technology analyst Dr Richard Collins.

Carbon atoms have diverse possibilities to form bonds. Pure carbon can therefore occur in many forms, as diamond, graphite, as nanotubes, football molecules or as a honeycomb-net with hexagonal meshes, graphene. This exotic, strictly two-dimensional material conducts electricity excellently, but is not a superconductor. But perhaps this can be changed.

The demand to reduce CO2 emissions in city centers is one of the key drivers for Wrightbus to implement new technology which cuts down CO2 emissions by saving fuel.
