2018 saw a significant step for aerogels in consumer electronics - but what is an aerogel? The Dell XPS 13 launched at CES 2018 and included the use of a material called silica aerogel for improved thermal performance. Aerogels are often dubbed "space-age technology" with most internet searches directing the reader towards use cases in the NASA stardust probe and Mars Rover, but the history, material diversity, and commercial status are very different.

Anisoprint has developed a continuous fiber 3D Printing process. Dr Fedor Antonov (CEO) spoke with technology analyst Dr Richard Collins.

A critical risk hanging over the future of the drone industry is safety and regulation. Today, even the current slightly more relaxed regulations put constrains on weight/payload, altitude, line-of-sight pilot control and so on.

In this article we will consider the existing and emerging applications of IME, looking at the latest prototypes, commercial success, etc. We will briefly examine value chain.

Paul, a senior scientist with PALL, explains their de-gassing technology for use in printing and PALL's place in the market.

This article looks at the history and current status of smart blister packs.

With the end of the year in sight IDTechEx looks back and reviews what has been new in the world of printed electronics in the last 12 months.

IDTechEx Research has just released its latest RFID report titled "RFID Forecasts, Players and Opportunities 2018-2028" which provides one of the most thorough and comprehensive industry assessments yet.

In this presentation, we provide an update on various companies active in the quantum dot (QD) business.

IDTechEx is one of the few market and technical research companies following marine electrification as part of its wider electric vehicle research -- and it is a segment quietly undergoing a transformation. The marine industry makes significant contributions to global pollution (particularly ocean-going vessels), often out of the spotlight. But in the past decade, regulations that have first focused on restricting particulates emissions, and more recently carbon emissions, are driving change.

Dr Peter Harrop discusses the history of FEP and the development of the company in the field of organic electronics, as well as their plans for the future.

From its humble beginnings in the late 1980s, through to the global force that it is today, the capabilities of 3D printing technology have expanded dramatically, to establish itself as an attractive manufacturing solution for prototyping and production.

Dr Peter Harrop, chairman of IDTechEx, discusses Witt Energy, a novel method of energy harvesting, which can harvest a variety of natural energy: wind, water, movement, etc.

From 2019 we will come to a world with flexible electronics and batteries to power these devices have attracted tremendous attention. These devices may require batteries with special mechanical properties or form factors. For more details about thin, flexible and printed batteries, please refer to IDTechEx's report Flexible, Printed and Thin Film Batteries 2019-2029.

In this article, we look at the different roadmaps for genset replacement or elimination

IDTechEx finds that the total market for printed, flexible and organic electronics in 2018 is $31.6 Billion. This is based on new research conducted by IDTechEx for the report Flexible, Printed and Organic Electronics 2019-2029.
