Graphene and silly putty make state-of-the-art sensor

Researchers have used the wonder material graphene to make the novelty children's material silly putty® (polysilicone) conduct electricity -- creating extremely sensitive sensors.

Electricity supply and electric vehicles reinvented

IDTechEx expects EVs to create significant electricity demand in about ten years and be key to huge improvements in local noise and air pollution and in global warming reduction.

Capacity fading in Li-ion batteries

Li-ion batteries are widely used in applications such as mobile phones and laptops. They also hold the key to future electromobility as they have the potential to substantially increase the driving range of electric vehicles.

Energy Storage in Germany: A report from the BVES end-of-year meeting

On Thursday, the 8th December, the members of the German Energy Storage Association (Bundesverband Energiespeicher, BVES) gathered in Berlin to learn about the progress made by the group and get a glimpse of the activities in place for 2017. IDTechEx was invited as a prospective member for the year 2017.

Results from the PVSITES project as it achieves its second milestone

The European- funded PVSITES project focuses on the demonstration of an ambitious catalogue of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technologies and systems, specially tailored to provide a robust answer to market demands, in six building demo cases throughout Europe.

Award-winning graphene battery could slash electric-car charging times

A student engineer from the University of Sussex has won a national car industry award for designing a new battery that could revolutionise electric vehicles.

The growing demand for low cost environmental sensors in smart cities

Last week Paris experienced its worst spike in pollution since records began. Cars were banned from the streets and public transport made free in the city and surrounding areas. Such vehicle bans have only been introduced four times in the last two decades, and never before on consecutive days.

Electricity supply and 3D printing

Oil and coal are now rapidly losers and the future is wind and solar with solar costs dropping faster than predicted by the industry.

Thermoelectric material in paintable liquid form

A new study has succeeded in developing a new technique that can be used to turn industrial waste heat into electricity for vehicles and other applications.

Economical regional transportation by aircraft

Video Interview with Synergy at the IDTechEx Show! in Santa Clara, USA (November 16-17 2016)

EVs go all-wheel drive

Jaguar Land Rover wants half its cars to be available in an electric version by the end of the decade, after showcasing its first electric car at the Los Angeles Auto Show earlier this month.

NASA scientists see asteroid through the eyes of a robot

Retrieving an asteroid sample is no easy task. Doing the job blindfolded is even more challenging. That's why scientists equipped the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft with a set of eyes to watch it all unfold.

Drone 3D printed with embedded electronics

Can embedded electronics be combined with 3D printing in a high temperature environment to produce a super heat-resistant drone?

Stamping technique creates functional features at nanoscale dimensions

Someday, high-tech stamping might bring us food packaging that displays a digital countdown to warn of spoiling produce, or even a window pane that shows the day's forecast, based on measurements of the weather conditions outside.

Solar floating airport with smart city

Dick Wallis, CEO of Positioning Systems in the UK has sent IDTechEx a visionary proposal for a new combined airport, smart city and green electricity supply in Wales in the UK.

Joint venture for ultra-fast, high-power charging along major highways

BMW Group, Daimler AG, Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen Group with Audi and Porsche have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to create the highest-powered charging network in Europe.

Diamond-age of power generation as nuclear batteries developed

New technology has been developed that uses nuclear waste to generate electricity in a nuclear-powered battery. A team of physicists and chemists have grown a man-made diamond that, when placed in a radioactive field, is able to generate a small electrical current.

Spray-printed crystals to move forward organic electronic applications

Has the time come to replace traditionally used silicon with printable organic semiconductor inks? Scientists believe so, especially for future electronics that need to be flexible, lightweight, wearable and low-cost.

Soft contact lenses inspire alternative to battery power storage

Ground-breaking research has developed potentially transformational technology which could revolutionise the capabilities of appliances that have previously relied on battery power to work.

New mini robot sub unveiled

The first robotic microsub capable of being deployed from a robotic surface vehicle.
