Hybrid 3-D printing method for flexible electronics

A collaboration between scientists has resulted in a new method for digital design and printing of stretchable, flexible electronics. The process, called Hybrid 3-D printing, uses additive manufacturing to integrate soft, conductive inks with a material substrate to create stretchable, wearable electronic devices.

Clinical study of non invasive vagus nerve stimulator

Completion of an initial series of clinical studies evaluating the utilization of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation for the relief of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Key Takeaways from Composites in the Marine Sector Conference

Fibre reinforced polymers (FRP), more often commonly referred to simply as composites, give excellent strength and stiffness to weight ratios along with other beneficial properties. The main reason for their exploitation is for lightweighting, which has resulted in them being used in nearly every sport and transportation industry. Marine is no exception to this trend

Electric Vehicles: Full 1.5 trillion dollar picture at last

The "IDTechEx Show!" November 15-16 in Santa Clara, California brings the electric vehicle picture alive showing the Terrafugia flying car, a presentation by the most admired manufacturer of single propeller electric aircraft Bye Aerospace and a California State University talk on biomimetic aircraft.

Flash-charging connection technology powers electric buses

ABB has won a $20 million order from Swiss bus manufacturer HESS to supply its flash-charging technology for 20 e-buses and related infrastructure for the French city of Nantes.

Robots for patient rehabilitation

Researchers have begun to discover preferences in human-robot interactions and the need to personalize those encounters to fit both the human's preferences and the designated task.

Electric vehicles deliver two killer blows

The total cost of ownership of an electric vehicle is usually lower than the TCO of the smoking alternative but that is just the beginning.

Nanotube fiber antennas as capable as copper

Fibers made of carbon nanotubes configured as wireless antennas can be as good as copper antennas but 20 times lighter, according to researchers. The antennas may offer practical advantages for aerospace applications and wearable electronics where weight and flexibility are factors.

Electrode materials from the microwave oven

Power on the go is in demand: The higher the battery capacity, the larger the range of electric cars and the longer the operating time of cell phones and laptops.

Need for speed makes genome editing efficient, if not better

Researchers have developed a computational model to quantify the mechanism by which CRISPR-Cas9 proteins find their genome-editing targets.

ITO and its alternatives: the next major growth phase will come?

ITO and ITO alternative have, in recent years, faced challenging market conditions. Sluggish growth, together with increased supply and the threat of substitutes, led to price falls, even price wars, forcing an industry consolidation.

Drone delivery: publicity stunt or game changer in instant fulfilment?

The idea of drone delivery sharply divides commentator opinion: some dismiss it as a mere publicity stunt whilst others consider it a game changer that will bring near instant product fulfilment to e-commerce, stripping traditional shops of their last major differentiator.

Passive RFID Sensors Overtake Battery Assisted RFID Sensors

IDTechEx Research assesses that the entire RFID market will be worth $11.76 Billion in 2018, up a steady 5% from 2017. A small sub sector of that entire market, but one which will grow at a faster rate of 12% from 2017 to 2018, is the market for RFID sensors.
