Cyborg cardiac patch may treat the diseased heart

More than 25% of the people on the national US waiting list for a heart will die before receiving one. Despite this discouraging figure, heart transplants are still on the rise. There just hasn't been an alternative. Until now.

Enabling 3D printing of sensors using nickel nano-particles

Nano Dimension has signed a collaboration agreement with Ramot at Tel Aviv University, to collaborate on the development of an application method for a nanoparticle nickel material developed at the University Labs.

3D printed robot locusts

A new miniature 3D printed robot is poised to make a major contribution to the field of advanced robotics.

StoreDot

StoreDot is a startup company with a new process which modifies peptides so that they self-assemble into quantum dots. These proprietary organic compounds are capable of storing an electrical charge or emitting visible light.

Peptide-based nanotechnology applied to smartphones and tablets

StoreDot Ltd., a nanotechnology startup company which has discovered the first bio-organic Nanodots, has announced that it has received $6 million from several strategic and private investors.

Elbit Systems

Elbit System is an international defense electronics company. They have diversified into energy storage technology through a comprehensive supercapacitor research program. They are focusing on aqueous electrolyte based supercapacitors, which are safer but with lower performance than organic electrolyte based supercapacitors. However based on improvements in electrode materials (such as carbon nanotubes) they are closing the performance gap. They are a company with high-level research capabilities.

Predicting wave power

Researchers have developed a control algorithm that, when used in conjunction with previously-developed wave prediction technology, helps Wave Energy Converters calculate the correct amount of force needed to collect the maximum energy possible, allowing the device to respond to each wave individually.

Dr Peter Harrop provides an update on the International Electromobility Conference Ljubljana.

Solar-thermoelectric systems could have advantages over solar cells

Systems to harness the sun's energy typically generate either electricity or heat in the form of steam or hot water. But a new analysis by researchers at MIT shows that there could be significant advantages to systems that produce both electricity and heat simultaneously.
