How Many Car Makers Will Go Under?

The car makers are headed for trouble. IDTechEx Chairman Dr Peter Harrop discusses why.

Rolls Royce aiming for world's fastest electric airplane

Inside a bustling hangar bay at the far end of Gloucestershire airport in South West England, a team of British engineers, designers, and data specialists recruited from across Rolls-Royce and beyond have set out to make history. They're building a high-performance electric aeroplane unlike anything the world has ever seen.

Shape-conformable batteries based on 3D-printing technology

Flexible, wireless electronic devices are rapidly emerging and have reached the level of commercialization; nevertheless, most of battery shapes are limited to either spherical and/or rectangular structures, which results in inefficient space use.

Artificial intelligence putting an end to poaching

When placed in protected areas, the TrailGuard artificial intelligence camera uses AI inference at the edge to detect possible poachers and alert park rangers in near real-time, allowing them to take action before animals can be harmed.

Robots to fix underground pipes and help cut roadworks

New investment to create tiny robots that can help repair the UK's vast underground pipe network and prevent disruption of roadworks in the future.

Wireless pacemaker for the brain

A new neurostimulator can listen to and stimulate electric current in the brain at the same time, potentially delivering fine-tuned treatments to patients with diseases like epilepsy and Parkinson's.

Oxford Photovoltaics

Oxford PV is a spin out from Oxford University. The perovskite solar cell technology they use is based on the invention by Dr Henry Snaith in the Department of Physics, Oxford University.

Tiny, implantable device uses light to treat bladder problems

A team of neuroscientists and engineers has developed a tiny, implantable device that has potential to help people with bladder problems bypass the need for medication or electronic stimulators.

Off Road Electric Vehicles Prosper While On-Road Hits Trouble

The on-road electric vehicle industry knows it is headed for a vicious fight to the death as the biggest category, private cars, collapses due to people moving to cities and nothing compensates for saturation of the Chinese electric bus market. In contrast, off-road EVs will be prosperous growth markets.

Movesense saved customers over three decades in wearable development

Movesense has now shipped over 700 software development kits to teams developing devices for sports, healthcare, entertainment, and industrial applications globally. Ten companies using Movesense are on the market now, with 40 more close to production just one year after its firmware completed beta testing.

Five new consumer wearable products powered by Movesense

Five companies launching new wearable devices that provide more targeted, accurate, and consistent data for consumers tracking health, athletic performance, stress, rely on Movesense's motion sensing technology and sensor platform to improve athletic training, avoid costly medical interventions in elderly patients, and manage stress for people in demanding occupations.

Webinar Thursday 10 January - Airborne Wind Energy AWE Gets Serious

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Thursday 10 January titled Airborne Wind Energy AWE Gets Serious.

Electronic pill can relay diagnostic information or release drugs

Researchers have designed an ingestible capsule that can be controlled using Bluetooth wireless technology. The capsule, which can be customized to deliver drugs, sense environmental conditions, or both, can reside in the stomach for at least a month, transmitting information and responding to instructions from a user's smartphone.

Organic and Amorphous Oxide Thin Film Transistors: An assessment

In this slide presentation, we will first give a brief introduction to the basic operation of thin film transistors, also distinguishing them from wafer-based transistor technologies.

New app for head and neck cancer patients

A pilot study will test a new digital application, called NorthTrac, developed by The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research to help head and neck cancer patients manage their post-treatment symptoms.

Sea Machines raises $10 million

Sea Machines Robotics announced that it has closed a $10 million Series A investment.

British Army receives pioneering bomb disposal robots

The British Army have taken delivery of the first four cutting-edge bomb disposal robots following rigorous trials, Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has announced.

Clinical trials of dementia ultrasound treatment

Safety testing of a pioneering ultrasound technique that could delay the effects of dementia will begin in Brisbane late next year.

Machine learning-detected signal predicts time to earthquake

Machine-learning research published in two related papers reports the detection of seismic signals accurately predicting the Cascadia fault's slow slippage, a type of failure observed to precede large earthquakes in other subduction zones.
