Inexpensive organic material gives safe batteries a longer life

Modern batteries power everything from cars to cell phones, but they are far from perfect - they catch fire, they perform poorly in cold weather and they have relatively short lifecycles, among other issues. Now researchers have described a new class of material that addresses many of those concerns.

Collaboration to support growing in-mold electronics market

DuPont Electronics and Communications and TactoTek has announced they are collaborating to meet the growing demand for IME solutions.

A bioengineered upgrade for organoids

Scientists for the first time combine organoids with bioengineering. Using small microfilaments, they show improved tissue architecture that mimics human brain development more accurately and allows more targeted studies of brain development and its malfunctions.

Kar-Go autonomously delivers packages to your door

Using a combination of advanced robotics and driver-less vehicle technology, Kar-Go removes up to 90% of the cost associated with the last mile of delivery.

Face recognition system 'K-Eye'

Artificial intelligence is one of the key emerging technologies. Global IT companies are competitively launching the newest technologies and competition is heating up more than ever.

Real time monitoring of metal based additive manufacturing

EOS, technology provider for industrial 3D printing of metals and polymers, is expanding its EOSTATE monitoring suite to include an additional tool.

Urine powered displays

PEE POWER has been given a prime location at Glastonbury Festival just a few hundred metres from the Pyramid stage to showcase turning urine into electricity.

Wireless charging of moving electric vehicles overcomes major hurdle

If electric cars could recharge while driving down a highway, it would virtually eliminate concerns about their range and lower their cost, perhaps making electricity the standard fuel for vehicles.

Students print their way to new and powerful supercapacitors

Student have tripled the specific capacitance of nitrogen-doped carbons: new materials with potential applications in fast energy storage.

Robot uses deep learning and big data to write and play its own music

A marimba-playing robot with four arms and eight sticks is writing and playing its own compositions in a lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The pieces are generated using artificial intelligence and deep learning.

Energy Independent Electric Vehicles: Reinventing their Wind Turbines

Several organisations are working to improve the poor efficiency of a wind turbine on a boat, car, bus or similar vehicle.

Teaching robots manners

Advances in artificial intelligence are making virtual and robotic assistants increasingly capable in performing complex tasks. For these "smart" machines to be considered safe and trustworthy collaborators with human partners, however, robots must be able to quickly assess a given situation and apply human social norms.

New chemical method could revolutionize graphene

Scientists have discovered a new chemical method that enables graphene to be incorporated into a wide range of applications while maintaining its ultra-fast electronics.

Clean energy stored in electric vehicles to power buildings

Stored energy from electric vehicles can be used to power large buildings - creating new possibilities for the future of smart, renewable energy - thanks to ground-breaking battery research.

Envision Solar receives record order from New York City

Envision Solar International Inc has received the largest single order in its history from New York City for its EV ARC products.

Printed sensors monitor tire wear in real time

Electrical engineers have invented an inexpensive printed sensor that can monitor the tread of car tires in real time, warning drivers when the rubber meeting the road has grown dangerously thin.

Webinar Tuesday 27 June - Future Powertrain: EV Options and Objectives

IDTechEx are holding a free webinar on Tuesday 27 June titled Future Powertrain: EV Options and Objectives.

From drinking straws to robots
