The IDTechEx Wearable Technology Europe Award Winners

Wearable technology was one of the hottest topics at the IDTechEx Show! in Berlin. In order to recognise the fantastic work being done, IDTechEx presented two awards highlighting the outstanding progress being made at both product and component level.

Highlights from Ericsson at the IDTechEx Show! in Berlin

Ericsson introduced "The power of touch" connecting people to all the object around them simply by touching it.

Research pinpoints defects in popular perovskites

A new study demonstrates that perovskite materials, generally believed to be uniform in composition, actually contain flaws that can be engineered to improve solar devices even further.

Skyweb Express personal rapid transit system

SkyWeb Express is an innovative personal rapid transit system that automatically takes you to the destination station of your choice non-stop at 30 mph

Alta Devices

Alta Device is working on thin film GaAs solar cells. The company was founded in 2008 by professors Harry Atwater from Cal Tech and Eli Yablonovitch from Berkeley. In August of 2014, Alta Devices was acquired by Hanergy Holdings, Inc.

Dyesol

Dyesol was established in 2004 to commercialise a third generation photovoltaic nanotechnology called Dye Solar Cells (DSC) or Dye Sensitised Solar Cells (DSSC). The company is now working on perovskite PV cells--one of the emerging PV technologies with rapid efficiency growth.

An introduction to printed flexible sensors

In this short presentation, IDTechEx Research explains the evolution of the technology and shows some of the latest examples of printed sensors.

Energy-generating knee brace may power artificial hearts

Engineering students have created an energy-generating knee brace that they hope may someday help power artificial hearts.

For batteries, one material does it all

Engineers have created a battery that is made entirely out of one material, which can both move electricity and store it.

Asleep-yet-aware electronics to benefit the Internet of Things

A new program seeks to develop near-zero-power technologies that could operate reliably for years and eventually benefit the growing global network of Internet-enabled devices.

Sputtering start for flat materials

Two-dimensional materials have a whole host of exotic properties because they are just one atom thick. Researchers have now developed a method for creating large areas of atom-thin material for use in electronic devices.

Flexible batteries and electrified fabrics can improve wearables

What do the new Apple Watch, a blood glucose meter, a smartphone and a tablet computer have in common? They're all rigid quadrilateral polyhedrons: rectangles that don't bend.
