Thin Film Electronics ASA has successfully completed the first commercial shipment of a novel hybrid temperature sensor smart label.

Watch the preview of the IDTechEx Show! coming up in Berlin, 10-11 May 2017.

In this premium article, we will review the shortcomings of the incumbent technology, whilst analysing emerging technology options. In particular, we will offer a detailed review of existing and emerging metal mesh transparent conductive film technologies.

In this profile, Alexis Karandrea reports on correspondence with Richard Birney, the CEO of Bionic Eye Technologies, Inc., and the retinal implant technology they are developing.

The drone market is changing. In this premium article, we will analyse the investment trends into drone start-ups, showing that the investment peaked in 2015. We will then consider changing market dynamics driven largely by the commoditization of the drone platform hardware. Next, we will consider the emerging application pipeline of drones before showing how the market is forecasted to change in the coming decade. We will then examine the use of drones in agriculture as a case study before identifying emerging new opportunities in drone software, services, and specialized hardware such as sensors.

IDTechEx Launchpad will showcase innovations from 18 start-up companies at the IDTechEx Show! held in Berlin, Germany on 10-11 May 2017 (www.IDTechEx.com/europe).

The more you look the more you see and, in the case of air pollution, it is bad news all the way.

Picture a tablet that you can fold into the size of a phone and put away in your pocket, or an artificial skin that can sense your body's movements and vital signs. A new, inexpensive sensor could help make advanced devices like these a reality.

Dr David Pugh attended Cambridge Wireless CWIC starter event on IoT & LPWAN technologies to learn about the growing trend for low cost monitoring solutions aiding the Internet of Things and the deployment of a new LoRaWAN network in Cambridge.
