Emerging Technologies Deployed in China during the Coronavirus Period

Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been spreading in many places, which has brought great concern, inconvenience and harm. It also changes the lifestyle in some areas as people are requested to quarantine themselves or avoid contacting each other. In order to better conduct monitoring, prevention and control, multiple high-tech and emerging technologies have been deployed. Some of them may still play an important role when everybody comes back to normal life. This article will show the readers a selection of them.

FlexEnable

FlexEnable presented at Flex 2020 a dual-cell OLCD approach that is thinner and simpler than existing strategies.

Soft Robotic Fingers Gently Grasp Deep-Sea Jellyfish

Marine biologists have adopted "soft robotic linguine fingers" as tools to conduct their undersea research. Scientists found that jellyfish held by ultra-soft robotic fingers expressed significantly fewer stress-related genes than when braced by traditional submersible grippers. Shaped like the famous noodles, this new robotic technology allows for the collection of ecological data in a gentler, less invasive manner.

EV Growth Requires Investment Along the Li-ion Supply Chain

Historically, growth in the Li-ion battery market has been due to consumer electronics. Moving forward, Li-ion battery demand will be driven by growth in electric vehicle adoption, which has grown steadily over the last 10 years. Subsidies in countries such as Norway and China, especially, have encouraged EV sales.

A Way Forward for Large Scale Storage of Renewable Energy

A technique based on the principles of MRI and NMR has allowed researchers to observe not only how next-generation batteries for large-scale energy storage work, but also how they fail, which will assist in the development of strategies to extend battery lifetimes in support of the transition to a zero-carbon future.

Robots on Ice - or Rather, Under it

Autonomous underwater vehicles can carry a variety of instruments, including those that measure water temperature, collect water samples, or record sound underwater. Scientists and engineers generally deploy these robots off the side of a ship. The vehicle then navigates the surrounding waters on its own, and completes its mission within a day or two.
