In-mold electronics become commercial once again
Conductive inks are a wonderfully adaptive technology. This characteristic has enabled them to stay relevant and to rejuvenate themselves over the past several decades. This is because as old markets have struggled or declined the technology has managed to find and/or create new uses. Several years ago, a new frontier called in-mold electronics (or IME) started to emerge. This frontier, as reported in the IDTechEx Research report Conductive Ink Markets 2018-2028: Forecasts, Technologies, Players, is once again becoming commercial.

EEG headset for emotion detection
Traditionally, EEG brain scans are used to diagnose medical conditions
such as epilepsy or sleep disorders. More recently, EEG brain scans have
been introduced as a way to detect emotions which opens doors beyond the
medical field. Researchers are looking into e-learning applications, and
developers of virtual games are exploring the possibilities of
emotion-based e-gaming. Such application domains require real-time
emotion detection, which can be achieved through wireless EEG headsets.
