Realizing the Potential of Printed Piezoelectric Sensors

Commercial interest in silicon anodes and investments into start-up companies has continued through 2021 - IDTechEx estimates that $1.9B of funding has now made its way into silicon anode start-ups. Beyond investments, there has also been greater activity regarding companies beginning to license technologies, enter into supply relationships or commercialize technologies in early adopter markets, highlighting that the promise of silicon anode technology may soon be realized.

Tuning Flexible Circuits with Light

Researchers use ultraviolet light to tune circuit performance with a photoreactive polymer based on controlled changes in the chemical structure, which may lead to the development of wearable electronics and medical sensors.

Super Magnets from a 3D Printer

Magnetic materials are an important component of mechatronic devices such as wind power stations, electric motors, sensors and magnetic switch systems. Magnets are usually produced using rare earths and conventional manufacturing methods. A team of researchers produced specially designed magnets using a 3D printer.

Technology collaboration to unlock automotive 3D printing potential

Henkel is partnering in a research and development project called SYMPA, that aims to develop new materials, printing methodologies and post-processing technologies for durable Stereolithography products using Digital Light Processing with a focus on automotive applications.

Bring life to your surface

JOANNEUM RESEARCH run Austria's largest research group for functional printing.

Smart and flexible energy supply platform for wearable electronics

The aim of the project is the creation of an autonomous energy-supply platform. Based on the results of the project it will be possible to use a wearable without caring about recharging over its entire lifetime.
