Novacentrix Showcases Accessories for their PulseForge 1200

Video interview with NovaCentrix at the IDTechEx Show! in Berlin, Germany (27-28 April, 2016).

Novel axial field switched reluctance EV motor

A novel axial field switched reluctance motor design is presented which intend to improve the output torque by single flux path distribution in C- core stator while exploiting the high power density of the switched reluctance technology.

Off-grid power just became much easier

Off-grid clean power is a big focus of attention nowadays as we seek clean propulsion of land, water and airborne vehicles and clean power for buildings and remote equipment off-grid.

Assisting Parkinson's patients with innovative motion-tracking device

A rough estimate of the amount of steps taken in a day might be enough for the average fitness tracker or smartwatch user, but, for people with movement disorders like Parkinson's disease, more fine-grained data could be life changing.

Naio Technologies

Naio Technologies is a French start-up focused on agriculture robots. They expect a turn-over of 1m Euros this year, putting ahead of many others in terms of current commercial success.

SwarmFarm Robotics

We recently caught up with Mr Andrew Bate, CEO and co-founder of SwarmFarm Robotics, an Australian agricultural robotics company that launched only just a few months ago but also has some commercial operations.

Soft Robotics Inc

We recently caught up with the CEO of Carl Vause, a Boston-based start-up commercialising a novel robotic gripper that is based on the principles of soft robotics.

Standard Graphene at the IDTechEx Show! in Berlin 2016

Video interview with Standard Graphene at the IDTechEx Show! in Berlin, Germany (27-28 April, 2016)

Centre for printing and coating expands research

Photonic curing is a high-intensity pulsed light technology enabling conductive inks to be sintered or annealed in a matter of milliseconds. The sintering of the ink occurs with minimal or no damage to inexpensive and flexible substrates such as plastic, paper or cardboard.

Nissan cuts carbon dioxide emissions by 22.4%

Nissan Motor Co Ltd has published its annual Sustainability Report showing that the global automaker's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have fallen by 22.4% over the past decade.

Sector shake-up as the hype shifts in the $30bn wearables market

With hype around some of the core wearable technology sectors beginning to wane, IDTechEx have released their latest analysis of this diverse and growing industry in their brand new report Wearable Technology 2016-2026.

New High technology company established based on leading edge research

Emberion Oy will revolutionise X-ray, infrared and thermal imaging markets with its novel camera sensors that will significantly improve the performance and cost competitiveness of existing commercial devices.

Materialise

Rachel Gordon met Emma Kwon at Inside 3D Printing Seoul. She shared her thoughts on the state of 3D printing technology for producing industrial parts and the hurdles to overcome.

Carima

Rachel met Byeong-Keuk Lee, Founder and President of Carima. Carima are a Korean company who manufacture and sell stereolithography 3D printers predominantly in Asia.

FlexEnable Discusses Flexible Printed Backplanes at the IDTechEx Show!

Video interview with FlexEnable at the IDTechEx Show! (27-28 April, 2016 | Berlin, Germany).

New approach to develop ultra-strong, lightweight materials

Researchers have leveraged the unique capabilities of additive manufacturing to design strong, ultra-lightweight 'architectured foam' structures that have the potential to make vehicle bodies much lighter and stronger and improve water production and oil and gas operations.

Wireless, wearable toxic-gas detector

Researchers have developed low-cost chemical sensors, made from chemically altered carbon nanotubes, that enable smartphones or other wireless devices to detect trace amounts of toxic gases.

Tough new hydrogel hybrid doesn't dry out

Engineers have found a way to prevent hydrogels from dehydrating, with a technique that could lead to longer-lasting contact lenses, stretchy microfluidic devices, flexible bioelectronics, and even artificial skin.

Light truck with fuel cell, battery and supercapacitor

An electric vehicle with three energy storage systems shows the complexity of commanding different control systems in only one vehicle. Both new systems can supply the required energy to propel the electric motor and the fuel cell system can also recharge the high-voltage battery.

Origins of deterioration in lithium batteries

Researchers use diffraction data from pulsed high-intensity neutrons to understand the reactions that deteriorate lithium batteries during operation.
