Results from the PVSITES project as it achieves its second milestone

The European- funded PVSITES project focuses on the demonstration of an ambitious catalogue of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technologies and systems, specially tailored to provide a robust answer to market demands, in six building demo cases throughout Europe.

Award-winning graphene battery could slash electric-car charging times

A student engineer from the University of Sussex has won a national car industry award for designing a new battery that could revolutionise electric vehicles.

The growing demand for low cost environmental sensors in smart cities

Last week Paris experienced its worst spike in pollution since records began. Cars were banned from the streets and public transport made free in the city and surrounding areas. Such vehicle bans have only been introduced four times in the last two decades, and never before on consecutive days.

Electricity supply and 3D printing

Oil and coal are now rapidly losers and the future is wind and solar with solar costs dropping faster than predicted by the industry.

Thermoelectric material in paintable liquid form

A new study has succeeded in developing a new technique that can be used to turn industrial waste heat into electricity for vehicles and other applications.

Economical regional transportation by aircraft

Video Interview with Synergy at the IDTechEx Show! in Santa Clara, USA (November 16-17 2016)

EVs go all-wheel drive

Jaguar Land Rover wants half its cars to be available in an electric version by the end of the decade, after showcasing its first electric car at the Los Angeles Auto Show earlier this month.

NASA scientists see asteroid through the eyes of a robot

Retrieving an asteroid sample is no easy task. Doing the job blindfolded is even more challenging. That's why scientists equipped the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft with a set of eyes to watch it all unfold.

Drone 3D printed with embedded electronics

Can embedded electronics be combined with 3D printing in a high temperature environment to produce a super heat-resistant drone?

Stamping technique creates functional features at nanoscale dimensions

Someday, high-tech stamping might bring us food packaging that displays a digital countdown to warn of spoiling produce, or even a window pane that shows the day's forecast, based on measurements of the weather conditions outside.

Solar floating airport with smart city

Dick Wallis, CEO of Positioning Systems in the UK has sent IDTechEx a visionary proposal for a new combined airport, smart city and green electricity supply in Wales in the UK.

Joint venture for ultra-fast, high-power charging along major highways

BMW Group, Daimler AG, Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen Group with Audi and Porsche have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to create the highest-powered charging network in Europe.

Diamond-age of power generation as nuclear batteries developed

New technology has been developed that uses nuclear waste to generate electricity in a nuclear-powered battery. A team of physicists and chemists have grown a man-made diamond that, when placed in a radioactive field, is able to generate a small electrical current.

Spray-printed crystals to move forward organic electronic applications

Has the time come to replace traditionally used silicon with printable organic semiconductor inks? Scientists believe so, especially for future electronics that need to be flexible, lightweight, wearable and low-cost.

Soft contact lenses inspire alternative to battery power storage

Ground-breaking research has developed potentially transformational technology which could revolutionise the capabilities of appliances that have previously relied on battery power to work.

New mini robot sub unveiled

The first robotic microsub capable of being deployed from a robotic surface vehicle.

Technique leads to broader sunlight absorption in plastic solar cells

Researchers have developed a new strategy for fabricating more efficient plastic solar cells. The work has implications for developing solar cells with a wider absorption range and increased efficiency.

Environmentally-friendly graphene textiles for wearable electronics

A new method for producing conductive cotton fabrics using graphene-based inks opens up new possibilities for flexible and wearable electronics, without the use of expensive and toxic processing steps.

Dielectric capacitor to beat batteries?

The term supercapacitor means the same as ultracapacitor. It is traditionally limited to electrostatic devices that are based on an electrochemical double layer much thinner and of wider area than the dielectric that is the basis of all other capacitors.

Wall-jumping robot is most vertically agile ever built

Roboticists have designed a small robot that can leap into the air and then spring off a wall, or perform multiple vertical jumps in a row, resulting in the highest robotic vertical jumping agility ever recorded.
