IDTechEx: Invest now in fuel cell vehicles?

There is divided opinion on future of traction fuel cells in electric vehicles, though few argue any more that they will power the majority of electric vehicles.

Energy harvesting at the heavy end

At the event, "Energy Harvesting and Storage Europe 2015", uniquely, the whole scope of energy harvesting will be reviewed.

New electronic paper could make inexpensive electronic displays

Researchers have revamped an old e-paper concept to make an inexpensive handwriting-enabled e-paper well suited to large displays like whiteboards.

Display concept enhances safety and convenience.

MINI is revealing its vision for connectivity between augmented reality eyewear and the car.

Chemcubed

Chemcubed have just shipped their first commercial, custom-developed ink-jettable material for 3D printing optical devices. They have also developed materials specifically for RFID on flexible substrates, thermal applications using silver nanoparticles and CNT, and for structural applications.

Electric vehicles: better not cheaper

At analysts IDTechEx we are often questioned about our forecasts of prices of certain electric vehicles not going down over future years. The answer is twofold.

Energy Harvesting & Storage Europe 2015

Enfucell has developed a SoftBattery powered wireless golf sensor patch in a joint project with a leading technology company.

Is Perovskite Solar Technology Ready for Commercialization?

Pervoskite photovoltaics are a breath of fresh air in the photovoltaic market. They demonstrated a remarkable learning curve, going from 2.2% efficiency in 2006 to the latest record of 20.1% in 2014. They have already supressed OPVs and DSSCs and are now, at least in terms of efficiency, in the same range as leading thin film PVs like CdTe and CIGS.

The Printed Electronics Industry Gets Going

Investment up; more products launched and larger companies driving growth.

The Hague Display: New printed electronics demonstrator

They will be distributed to attendees at Printed Electronics Europe in Berlin on April 28-29.

What is Good Quality Graphene?

At IDTechEx we have been closely following and analysing the nano-carbon areas including graphene and carbon nanotubes. Our market research report on graphene is the result of our work which has seen us closely engage with innovators, suppliers and end users. We plan on sharing with you insights from our work on a regular basis. Here is a short piece on what constitutes good quality graphene.

ITO Alternative Leaders Will Emerge

At IDTechEx we have been closely following and analysing the transparent conductive film market for the past five years. To this end, we interviewed more than 40 innovators, suppliers and end users, organised several conferences around the world, developed a detailed and constantly updated forecast datasheet, and advised our clients globally either through consulting or reports.
