EVs Are the Next Big Opportunity for Fire Protection Materials

The occurrence of fires in electric vehicles (EVs) is less common than their combustion engine counterparts, in total number but also in terms of the rate per miles traveled. However infrequent, it is extremely important to protect the vehicle's occupants and prolong the time for a fire to exit the battery pack for as long as possible.

IDTechEx Report Reveals Surging Li-ion Battery Market

Rapid growth in the Li-ion market is expected over the next ten years. IDTechEx forecast the Li-ion battery market will reach over US$430 billion by 2033. Electric vehicles (EV) and transportation will represent the largest market. By 2033, battery electric cars will constitute over 90% of Li-ion demand, by GWh, by 2030.

Starter Cells for Cultured Meat

The first stage in producing cultured meat is choosing the right starter cells. To produce something identical to conventional meat, the cells that produce muscle, fat, and connective tissue are all necessary. Simply using developed muscle cells extracted from animals is not suitable for cultured meat, as these cells proliferate very slowly. In contrast, stem cells divide rapidly and can differentiate into any other type of cell. However, there are ethical issues associated with their use, culturing protocols for common meat animals have generally not been established, and directed differentiation is complex. In this premium article, IDTechEx explores the types of starter cells being used by the industry to grow muscle and fat cells.

Medical Devices for Remote Patient Monitoring of Chronic Conditions

Rising healthcare costs, an aging population and an increasing prevalence of chronic diseases are driving the uptake of remote patient monitoring (RPM) technologies. In their recent report, Remote Patient Monitoring 2023 - 2033: Technologies, Markets and Opportunities, IDTechEx forecasts the market for medical devices supporting RPM to reach US$45 billion by 2033.

Are Rising Energy Costs the End for Vertical Farms?

With their ability to fully control growing environments through LEDs, sensors, and HVAC systems, vertical farms achieve great control over the quality and consistency of their crop. However, this degree of control comes at a cost, a very literal one. Vertical farms are notoriously power-hungry and require large amounts of energy to operate.

Funding for Maritime Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Projects

This IDTechEx premium article discusses the US$3.2 billion in funding being made available to fuel cell and hydrogen suppliers, including those operating within the marine sector.

SWIR and Event-Based Vision for Autonomous Vehicles

Ever-increasing levels of vehicle autonomy are poised to revolutionize both personal and freight transport, reducing time spent sitting in traffic and ushering in new transportation modes such as robotaxis. Of course, autonomy and even ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) requires vehicles to constantly have a clear picture of their surroundings.

Ranging/Photodetection Options for Lidar

There are two common kinds of ranging (photodetection) options for lidar systems: one is time of flight (TOF) and another is frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW). TOF is adopted by more players than FMCW but there is an increasing number of start-ups working on the FMCW approach. This premium article provides an introduction to the two different lidar ranging options and detailed analysis. IDTechEx opinions are also given regarding the future lidar trends.
