Emerging Technologies Deployed in China during the Coronavirus Period

Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been spreading in many places, which has brought great concern, inconvenience and harm. It also changes the lifestyle in some areas as people are requested to quarantine themselves or avoid contacting each other. In order to better conduct monitoring, prevention and control, multiple high-tech and emerging technologies have been deployed. Some of them may still play an important role when everybody comes back to normal life. This article will show the readers a selection of them.

FlexEnable

FlexEnable presented at Flex 2020 a dual-cell OLCD approach that is thinner and simpler than existing strategies.

EV Growth Requires Investment Along the Li-ion Supply Chain

Historically, growth in the Li-ion battery market has been due to consumer electronics. Moving forward, Li-ion battery demand will be driven by growth in electric vehicle adoption, which has grown steadily over the last 10 years. Subsidies in countries such as Norway and China, especially, have encouraged EV sales.

Point-of-Care Diagnostics learn more at Healthcare Sensor Innovations

Attendees of Healthcare Sensor Innovations USA 2020 will hear from industry representatives on how advanced sensors, sensor fusion, algorithms, analytics and artificial intelligence can enable point-of-care testing and the movement towards the decentralization of healthcare.

Soft Robotic Fingers Gently Grasp Deep-Sea Jellyfish

Marine biologists have adopted "soft robotic linguine fingers" as tools to conduct their undersea research. Scientists found that jellyfish held by ultra-soft robotic fingers expressed significantly fewer stress-related genes than when braced by traditional submersible grippers. Shaped like the famous noodles, this new robotic technology allows for the collection of ecological data in a gentler, less invasive manner.

AI Scans Doctors' Notes to Distinguish Types of Back Pain

Researchers have designed an artificial intelligence model that can determine whether lower back pain is acute or chronic by scouring doctors' notes within electronic medical records, an approach that can help to treat patients more accurately, according to a new study.
