Newly Developed Smart Polymers Have Life-Like Properties

Although just cute little creatures at first glance, the microscopic geckos and octopuses fabricated by 3D laser printing could open up new opportunities in fields such as microrobotics or biomedicine. The printed microstructures are made from novel materials - known as smart polymers - whose size and mechanical properties can be tuned on demand and with high precision.

The Battery that Runs 630 km on a Single Charge

The number of newly registered electric vehicles in Korea surpassed 100,000 units last year alone. Norway is the only other country to match such numbers. The core materials that determine the battery life and charging speed of now commonly seen EVs are anode materials. Korea's domestic battery industry has been committed to finding revolutionary ways to increase the battery capacity by introducing new technologies or other anode materials. But what if we get rid of anode materials altogether?

Electronic Skin Allows for Long-Term Attachment with no Discomfort

Researchers have succeeded in developing the world's first ultrathin and breathable nanomesh organic field-effect transistor that can be applied to electronic skin devices. Nanomesh OFET, in combination with various sensors, is expected to enable direct measurement of physiological data from the skin surface and optimize data processing.

The Market for Wearable Sensors Is Expanding, Says IDTechEx

The latest wearable sensors report from IDTechEx, "Wearable Sensors 2023-2033", breaks down the complex landscape of sensor types, biometrics, and form factors. IDTechEx highlights the key opportunities and challenges for each sensor type to achieve commercial success across the next ten years.

Mobileye: Improving ADAS with REM

Mobileye was founded in 1999 and is now one of the largest suppliers of chips in the automotive industry. It has three major divisions, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous vehicles (AV), and data. At ITS World Congress 2022, IDTechEx spoke to Mobileye about its Mobileye Roadbook.

Seaweed-Based Battery Powers Confidence in Sustainable Energy Storage

A research team uses nanomaterials made from seaweed to create a strong battery separator, paving the way for greener and more efficient energy storage.

Device Converts the Slightest Breeze into Electricity

Scientists have developed a low-cost device that can harness energy from wind as gentle as a light breeze and store it as electricity.

New IDTechEx Report Explores Carbon Dioxide Removal Market Potential

The Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) sector has experienced growing corporate interest and swift development, with record investments over the past year in technologies that draw carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere.

Photovoltaic Power Generation over 1000 Hours at Over 20% Efficiency

Scientists have developed a durable 1-cm2 perovskite solar cell capable of generating electricity for more than 1,000 continuous hours at a photoelectric conversion efficiency (i.e., power generation efficiency) of more than 20% in exposure to sunlight. Because this solar cell can be fabricated on the surface of a plastic material at approximately 100°C, this technique may be used to develop light, versatile solar cells.

Chemists Make Strides Toward a Marijuana Breath Analyzer

Chemists are now a step closer to their goal of developing a handheld tool similar to an alcohol Breathalyzer that can detect THC on a person's breath after they've smoked marijuana.

Michelin: Airless Tires for Automotive Deployment

Michelin is an established supplier of tires. It was founded in 1889 and has been supplying pneumatic tires to the automotive industry for more than 100 years. IDTechEx spoke to Michelin at ITS World Congress where it was exhibiting its new automotive airless tire.

Amnovis Selects 3D Systems' Dual Laser Direct Metal Printing Solution

3D Systems announced that Amnovis has incorporated 3D Systems' DMP Flex 350 Dual into its contract manufacturing workflow.

High-Frequency Electrical Stimulation Helps Reduce Inflammation

A bump, bruise or broken bone is painful. And while pain is an important defense mechanism to protect the body and promote healing, chronic pain can be debilitating.New research sheds light on the molecular mechanisms that occur when high-frequency electrical stimulation is applied transcutaneously (over the skin), which reduces inflammation and pain.

Sono Motors Gains Scania and LLT as New Customers

Sono Motors gains new customers in Scania, a subsidiary of Volkswagen, and LLT, a Swedish public transport authority, in a unique project to test the Solar Bus Kit in real-life conditions in the northern hemisphere. The objective of the project is to optimize the efficiency of the solar technology for buses in northern climates.
