High power energy harvesting takes shape

Plenty of kilowatts from no fuel. This dream ticket is a reality today from the rapid adoption of high power energy harvesting. Energy harvesting converts ambient energy into electricity where it is needed, off-grid.

Biggest trends of 2015 in 3D printing

We usually wait until December to do a round-up of the year, but 3D printing is moving so quickly at the moment, we thought it would be good to step back and take a look at the biggest trends of the year so far.

Diversification challenges in the haptics industry

The growth of handheld devices in consumer electronics has enabled fast growth in the haptics industry. With billions of units sold, global reach and near ubiquitous adoption in devices like smartphones, many companies have targeted this space as having key growth potential. However, rapid commoditization led by China has left a graveyard of haptics operations across the West, Japan and Korea, so staying ahead of this curve is crucial. Our slides here summaries our latest research on haptics technologies and markets.
