Solar panels embedded in clothes charge a mobile phone

Clothing embedded with tiny solar cells the size of a flea will allow wearers to generate electricity on the move and charge items like mobile phones and smartwatches.

New hybrid material for in next generation flexible touch screen?

Flexible transparent conductive thin films could use environmentally friendly hemisellulose with carbon nanotubes. It could be used in next generation flexible touch screens and biosensors.

Growing bio-inspired shapes with hundreds of tiny robots

Hundreds of small robots can work in a team to create biology-inspired shapes - without an underlying master plan, purely based on local communication and movement. To achieve this, researchers introduced the biological principles of self-organisation to swarm robotics.

Graphene printed electronics

A team of researchers have found a low cost method for producing graphene printed electronics, which significantly speeds up and reduces the cost of conductive graphene inks.

Machine learning may predict if you're in for a healthy old age

Developing a better understanding of the biological processes of aging could eventually help to address health conditions that are more common in old age, such as heart disease and dementia.

Power purchase agreement For Long Island 7.4 MW fuel cell project

FuelCell Energy Inc announced the signing of the first of three long-term power purchase agreements under the Fuel Cell Resources Feed-In Tariff IV program administered by PSEG Long Island.

To guide cancer therapy, device quickly tests drugs on tumor tissue

Researchers have 3-D printed a novel microfluidic device that simulates cancer treatments on biopsied tumor tissue, so clinicians can better examine how individual patients will respond to different therapeutics — before administering a single dose.

A painless adhesive for bandaids

Pulling off a Band-Aid may soon get a lot less painful. Researchers have developed a new type of adhesive that can strongly adhere wet materials -- such as hydrogel and living tissue -- and be easily detached with a specific frequency of light.

XOS Trucks (formerly Thor Trucks)

Technology analyst Luke Gear reports on his findings on XOS Trucks at the IDTechEx Show! USA 2018.

Cutting and pasting with graphene

To date it has proved very difficult to convert the promises of the miracle material graphene into practical applications. A researcher has developed a method of cutting graphene into smaller fragments using a diamond knife. He can then construct nanostructures from the fragments.

3D-printed robot hand 'plays' the piano

Scientists have developed a 3D-printed robotic hand which can play simple musical phrases on the piano by just moving its wrist. And while the robot is no virtuoso, it demonstrates just how challenging it is to replicate all the abilities of a human hand, and how much complex movement can still be achieved through design.

Engineers break solar cell record

Arizona State University researchers continue to break solar cell efficiency records in an effort to harness the sun's energy more economically as a renewable source for electricity.

Ellomay Capital Ltd announces financing agreement

Ellomay Capital Ltd, a renewable energy and power generator and developer of renewable energy and power projects in Europe and Israel, announced that Talasol Solar S.L.U., its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a set of agreements governing the procurement of financing in the aggregate amount of approximately euro 177 million.

Disordered crystals are promising for future battery technology

Tiny, disordered particles of magnesium chromium oxide may hold the key to new magnesium battery energy storage technology, which could possess increased capacity compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.

AI mimics how humans visualize and identify objects

Engineers have demonstrated a computer system that can discover and identify the real-world objects it "sees" based on the same method of visual learning that humans use.

Cellulose biosensor material for advanced tissue engineering

Researchers have developed a new imaging approach for tissue engineering. A team produced so-called 'hybrid biosensor' scaffold materials, which are based on cellulose matrices labeled with pH- and calcium-sensitive fluorescent proteins. These materials enable visualization of the metabolism and other important biomarkers in the engineered artificial tissues by microscopy.

Wearable tech for pilot fatigue

Air Georgian has been working closely with pilots and Fatigue Science to collect de-identified sleep data. This data has been collected over the past year and is establishing a sleep hygiene baseline for a fatigue program.

Tools for printing electronics in 3D Space

NEO Tech AMT GmbH is one of the leading companies developing systems for 3D Printed Electronics (3D PE). The company installed the first 5 axis 3D PE system in 2010. Rapid advances lead to the first commercial installation for mass production for printed 3D circuits in mobile communications devices in 2015.

The Future of 3D Sensing and Perception

Quanergy is a leading provider of solid state LiDAR sensors and smart sensing solutions.
