TeraWatt Technology

TeraWatt Technology are a solid-state battery company founded in Silicon Valley in 2017. They are a division of Chinese EV start-up Seres (formerly SF Motors, Inc).

Psionic

Psionic offer lidar modules for space and defence, and are developing lidar modules for ADAS. Psionic are a spin-out from NASA and many of its core team previously worked at NASA. Psionic's Doppler lidar technology was developed by NASA for autonomous space vehicles. Psionic are optimising this technology for automotive applications.

Safer Batteries for electric vehicles

Preventing electric vehicles from bursting into flames on impact is a primary goal of a new Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University project funded by the Ford Motor Company.

Haptics: Part 1 - Reflecting on a strong decade of growth

This is the first of a three-part series of articles on haptics. Haptics involves the use of technology to stimulate the sense of touch. IDTechEx have been covering the technology behind this important market sector for the last five years, and have just released their latest report: Haptics 2020-2030.

CoinPower brings energy to digital medicine and fitness

How people deal with their own health is changing dramatically. What was previously discussed in a personal conversation with a doctor is increasingly shifting to "indirect" contact, for example via telemedicine. At the same time, more and more people are relying on wearables to independently monitor their medical parameters.

Machine learning increases resolution of eye imaging technology

Biomedical engineers have devised a method for increasing the resolution of optical coherence tomography down to the single micrometer in all directions, even in a living patient.

Promising non-invasive therapy for stroke

Clinical trial results of an investigational, non-invasive medical device for the treatment of spasticity in patients having experienced a stroke. Trans-spinal direct current stimulation and peripheral nerve direct current stimulation significantly reduced upper limb spasticity in participants who experienced a stroke.

Silicon's energy-harvesting power

A collaboration has designed a better way for electronics to convert waste heat into reusable energy. The collaborative project demonstrated that silicon's ability to harvest energy from heat can be greatly increased while remaining mass-producible.

Protein batteries for safer, environmentally friendly power storage

Proteins are good for building muscle, but their building blocks also might be helpful for building sustainable organic batteries that could someday be a viable substitute for conventional lithium-ion batteries, without their safety and environmental concerns.

First digitally printed lattice bike saddle

Partnership to produce the first digitally printed bike saddle, designed to improve rider comfort and performance, the new saddle, crafted using Carbon materials and complex lattice geometries, absorbs impact and improves stability, which can reduce the chance of injury for the rider.

Tiny tweaks for big wins in solar cells

Solar cells that rely on perovskites to harvest sunlight are bound to gain in energy conversion efficiency thanks to an atomic-level understanding of the structure-property relationship of these photovoltaic materials.

3D interconnection technology for future wearable bioelectronics

The wearable biotech industry has recently revealed its insatiable hunger for futuristic items. Pain relief goggles that monitor brain waves, vital sign monitoring stickers, and even mind reading glasses.

Robotic thread is designed to slip through the brain's blood vessels

Engineers have developed a magnetically steerable, thread-like robot that can actively glide through narrow, winding pathways, such as the labrynthine vasculature of the brain.

New findings on human speech recognition

In many households, it is impossible to imagine life without language assistants - they switch devices on or off, report on news from all over the world or know what the weather will be like tomorrow. The speech recognition of these systems is mostly based on machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence.

California approves program to electrify 3,000 trucks and buses

To support regional and statewide goals to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes, San Diego Gas & Electric will launch a major effort to help electrify large vehicles and industrial equipment, revving up zero-emission transportation beyond passenger vehicles.
