3D bioprinting - from science fiction to reality?

After over 15 years of research and development in academia and industry, several main applications of 3D bioprinting technology are ready to be realised.

The technology of airborne wind energy - Part I: Launch & land

In short, AP-3 is a 250 kW system, using a 350 kg drone with a wingspan of 12 m. AP-3 is designed to be a demonstrator of safety and autonomy.

$30 million in funding to automate intelligent enterprise

UiPath builds intelligent software robots that help businesses globally automate repetitive processes by leveraging cutting-edge computer vision technology.

SolarStratos first test flight

SolarStratos is a commercial two-seater solar plane that aims to be the first manned solar plane penetrating the stratosphere.

Novel gene editing approach to cancer shows promise

A novel gene therapy using CRISPR genome editing technology effectively targets cancer-causing "fusion genes" and improves survival in mouse models of aggressive liver and prostate cancers.

The Graphene paradigm shift is coming

IDTechEx has invited a series of industrial players and leaders active in graphene commercialization to contribute their opinions about the state of the technology and markets. As part of article series, we will today hear from Standard Graphene who talks about a graphene paradigm shift.

3D printing offers new approach to making buildings

The list of materials that can be produced by 3D printing has grown to include not just plastics but also metal, glass, and even food. Now, MIT researchers are expanding the list further, with the design of a system that can 3D print the basic structure of an entire building.

Artificial biofilm increases energy production in microbial fuel cells

Microbial fuel cells exploit the metabolism of bacteria in order to generate electricity. A new type of biofilm could soon make this relatively young technology considerably more effective, more stable, and easier to use.

1000 km range thanks to a new battery concept

You cannot get far today with electric cars. One reason is that the batteries require a lot of space. Scientists are stacking large cells on top of one another. This provides vehicles with more power. Initial tests in the laboratory have been positive. In the medium term, the project partners are striving to achieve a range of 1000 kilometers for electric vehicles.

Hand that sees offers new hope to amputees

A new generation of prosthetic limbs which will allow the wearer to reach for objects automatically, without thinking - just like a real hand - are to be trialled for the first time.

Erasable ink for 3D printing

3D printing by direct laser writing produces micrometer-sized structures with precisely defined properties.

How supercapacitors will compete with batteries

The unique report Supercapacitor Materials 2017-2027 is a drill down from the IDTechEx overview, Supercapacitor Technologies and Markets 2016-2026. It is packed with detailed analysis, many new infograms, conference slides, roadmaps and a ten year forecasts 2017-2027.

Facial analysis can reveal rare diseases

Globally about 350 million people have one of over 7,000 known rare diseases. The journey to a diagnosis for these children averages seven years from symptoms to diagnosis, in which time they see an average of seven doctors.

Thinfilm first commercial shipment of temperature sensor smart labels

Thin Film Electronics ASA has successfully completed the first commercial shipment of a novel hybrid temperature sensor smart label.

IDTechEx Show! Exhibition Grows by 30%

On May 10-11 an estimated 3,000 people from over 40 countries will meet at the Estrel Convention Centre in Berlin to discuss the commercialization of a diverse range of emerging technologies.

Graphene: Market update and future prospects by IDTechEx (II)

I have just recently returned from the Graphene 2017 conference in Barcelona where I gave an invited talk. There is tremendous scientific progress, both on CVD and platelet type graphene, and across many graphene applications. Interestingly, the participants however repeatedly suggested that the industry has now passed the peak of hype and is well into the disillusionment period.

Stretchable electronics: everything you need to know

Stretchable Electronics is a term that conceals great diversity. Indeed, it is an umbrella term that refers to a whole host of emerging electronic materials, components and devices that exhibit some degree of mechanical stretchability.

Flexible Printing Solutions for Printed Electronics & 3D Printing

Lots of key players from all over the world are working hard on the latest developments for new applications and integration of their results in our daily life.

AI start-up set to disrupt the fertility sector

With infertility growing globally, the industry is turning to smart ways to improve outcomes of assisted reproduction like IVF.

More efficient, faster technique to remotely operate robots

The traditional interface for remotely operating robots works just fine for roboticists. They use a computer screen and mouse to independently control six degrees of freedom, turning three virtual rings and adjusting arrows to get the robot into position to grab items or perform a specific task.
