Glucose Testing: Such a Sweet Business Model?

As the point-of-care biosensor market is expected to expand to $33 billion by 2027, investing in the right technology and business model now is paramount to success over the next decade.

Switchable solar window

Thermochromic windows capable of converting sunlight into electricity at a high efficiency have been developed.

New 3-D printer is 10 times faster than commercial counterparts

Engineers have developed a new desktop 3-D printer that performs up to 10 times faster than existing commercial counterparts. Whereas the most common printers may fabricate a few Lego-sized bricks in one hour, the new design can print similarly sized objects in just a few minutes.

Computing ring, write words and numbers with a thumb

Technology provides eyes-free way to interact with smart devices.

Contract for new Norwegian all-electric, battery powered ferry

Corvus Energy has been chosen by Norwegian Electric System to supply a lithium ion based energy storage system for a new all-electric ferry being built by Fjellstrand for Norwegian ferry operator Fjord1. Corvus' Orca Energy ESS solution will supply electrical power to the ferry's NES all-electric power and propulsion system.

First robotics-assisted bi-cruciate retaining total knee replacement

Smith & Nephew announced completion of the world's first robotics-assisted bi-cruciate retaining total knee replacement procedures.

Controlling diabetes with your phone might be possible someday

Think about this. You have diabetes, are trying to control your insulin levels and instead of taking a pill or giving yourself an injection, you click an app on your phone that tells your pancreas to bring blood sugar levels back to normal.

Advances in Biosensor Technology Could Limit the Spread of HIV

1.8 million people acquire HIV each year, with the World Health Organisation estimating that 1 in 5 people living with HIV do not realise they are infected. Therefore, strategies for faster and earlier diagnosis are as important as ever to limit the spread of HIV.

5,000 StreetScooters in service at DHL , Tesla trucks on order

Deutsche Post DHL Group plans on being the industry's driver of electromobility and market leader in green logistics. Its e-mobility initiative is also part of its ambitious GoGreen program, an environmental protection project that will help Deutsche Post DHL Group become the first logistics company to reduce all logistics-related emissions to net zero by 2050.

High-thermal-conductive carbon-nanotube sheet

Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd announced the successful development of a high-thermal-conductive carbon-nanotube sheet with the world's top heat dissipation performance. The sheet is composed of pure carbon nanotubes, oriented perpendicularly, resulting in exceptional thermal conductivity and heat resistance.

Biotemplates breakthrough paves way for cheaper nanobots

A feature of science fiction stories for decades, nanorobot potential ranges from cancer diagnosis and drug delivery to tissue repair and more. A major hurdle to these endeavors, however, is finding a way to cheaply make a propulsion system for these devices.

Solar cell discovery opens a new window to powering tomorrow's cities

Buildings of the future may come equipped with windows that can generate their own electricity, thanks to a finding of a team of researchers.

New method benchmarks organic mixed conductors

Organic conductors are soft materials that conduct electricity. They show promise in inexpensive, lightweight, flexible technologies, including solar cells, printable electronic circuits, and organic light-emitting diodes. More recently, their ability to interact intimately with ions and biomolecules has led to significant interest in bio-integrated electronics, such as implantable medical devices that can monitor or regulate signals inside the human body.

NovaCentrix releases new PulseForge Invent, starting at $59k

NovaCentrix is pleased to announce the release of the newest member of the PulseForge® photonic curing tool family: the PulseForge® Invent™.

Artificial muscles give soft robots superpowers

Soft robotics has made leaps and bounds over the last decade as researchers around the world have experimented with different materials and designs to allow once rigid, jerky machines to bend and flex in ways that mimic and can interact more naturally with living organisms. However, increased flexibility and dexterity has a trade-off of reduced strength, as softer materials are generally not as strong or resilient as inflexible ones, which limits their use.

Low power electronics and electrics without batteries

The new IDTechEx Research report, Battery Elimination in Electronics and Electrical Engineering 2018-2028 notes that billions of wireless electronic and electrical products consuming microwatts to milliwatts or more operate without batteries or even capacitors to store energy.

Vibrating sensors could identify blood biomarkers

Researchers have found a method of identifying biological markers in small amounts of blood that they believe could be used to detect a myriad of diseases, infections and different medical conditions at early stages.

Report on the Winton Symposium

IDTechEx analysts Aman Atak and Luke Gear report on their findings at this event.

The Big Family of Batteries

Li-ion Batteries are the talk of town in the tech industry, but clarity on the subject is scarce, and very often the word "Battery" is used interchangeably to indicate those relying on the reversible shuttling of lithium ion (Li-ion batteries, or LIB), and many other different energy storage technologies that have little in common with each other.

Solution-processed OLEDs pave the way to future lighting applications

Before it can take over our streets and homes, OLED lighting needs to be made more accessible. The SOLEDLIGHT project has developed novel multilayer OLEDs thanks to a new process that promises to increase production efficiency by 20 %, thereby reducing its cost.
