What Lessons Can Europe Learn From The Gigafactory?

In the first of a series of articles on the future of battery manufacturing, IDTechEx Technology Analyst Lorenzo Grande describes the opinions and outlook from the German players relative to the latest worldwide trends in battery manufacturing.

Regenerative walking technology strides into field trials

The PowerWalk is a light-weight, leg-mounted exoskeleton designed to accommodate a soldier's full range of motion and harvest energy from the natural action of walking, in much the same way regenerative braking works in hybrid cars.

Will conductive inks help wearables go truly wearable?

The first generation of wearable devices are constructed using mature, rigid technologies put inside a new box that can be worn. These are often bulky devices that are not truly wearable in the sense that our clothes are. This is, however, beginning to change, albeit slowly.

Flying cars: needed or possible? Part one

The arguments for flying cars are style, convenience and cost saving; the stuff of fiction for 100 years. Park a car and a plane together in your garage.

Butler Technologies, Inc.

Butler Technologies is 25-year-old precision screen printer specializing in the manufacture of membrane switches, graphics, etc. generating around $8-10m each year and employing around 60 people today.

Copprint

Copprint is a start-up offering copper inks. It is reporting fantastic initial results. Its initial results suggest that it can achieve 50% bulk conductivity whilst only requiring a short 2-second anneal using a simple oven system at 125-250C.

New concept turns battery technology upside-down

A new approach to the design of a liquid battery, using a passive, gravity-fed arrangement similar to an old-fashioned hourglass, could offer great advantages due to the system's low cost and the simplicity of its design and operation.

Xiaomi Mi Drone is more affordable

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi has announced its first drone, the Mi Drone quadcopter.

Graphene: A quantum of current

An international team of researchers has now explained the peculiar behaviour of electrons moving through narrow constrictions in a graphene layer.

Data security for wearables and internet of things networks

World's first 3D printed office building

The building is the first of its kind in the world prepared for actual use, taken into account the integration of a unique building design and 3D-printing technology to offer key services within the building.

Lead acid batteries: delaying the inevitable

IDTechEx finds that C category cars and above will have to be mild hybrids with 48V lithium-ion batteries if they are to meet the tough new carbon dioxide emissions.

First step toward flexible, wearable, tricorder-like device

Engineers have developed the first flexible wearable device capable of monitoring both biochemical and electric signals in the human body.

Airbus launches 3D printed motorcycle

First semi-transparent perovskite modules

The first-ever semi-transparent perovskite PV-module, achieving power conversion efficiencies up to 12%.

Large-scale technique to produce quantum dots

A method to produce significant amounts of semiconducting nanoparticles for light-emitting displays, sensors, solar panels and biomedical applications has gained momentum.

Battery power even in freezing cold

Transporting power sources in the coldest places may be easier with a new re-chargeable, non-metallic battery from Japan.

Nanosys introduces Hyperion quantum dots

Nanosys, Inc., has introduced Hyperion Quantum Dots, a new Quantum Dot material system that represents a significant development breakthrough in unlocking the market for displays meeting the BT.2020 UltraHD color standard.
