Bringing functional materials to 3D printing

Voxel8, a Harvard spinoff, are leveraging over a decade of research from Harvard Professor Jennifer A. Lewis to create highly conductive inks that can be printed at room temperature and seamlessly integrated with a broad array of matrix materials.

Consortium to deliver UK's first range-extended fleet vehicles

Millbrook, one of Europe's leading independent test and technology centres for vehicles and vehicle systems, will join a UK industry consortium to develop a new class of zero-emission, light commercial vehicle.

3D printing jet engines and electric vehicles

At the major event IDTechEx Show! in Berlin April 28-29 there is a conference, Electric Vehicles: Everything is Changing. It will reveal radical new advances such as structural electronics replacing components-in-a box, 3D printing of electric cars by Local Motors of the USA and 3D printing of small jet engines as range extenders for electric vehicles, land, water and air, by Microturbo Safran of France. IDTechEx has the world's largest selection of reports on electric vehicles and their components and systems.

One step closer to artificial photosynthesis and solar fuels

Scientists, inspired by a chemical process found in leaves, have developed an electrically conductive film that could help pave the way for devices capable of harnessing sunlight to split water into hydrogen fuel.

Wearable, automotive and IoT drive sensor growth at IDTechEx Show!

The last decade has seen the cost of sensors fall to an average sales price of 50 cents from several dollars, driven first by the increase in sensors for automotive followed by consumer electronics such as smart phones. The next phase of volume growth will be driven by wearable technology, IoT and driver assisted/autonomous vehicles. This is also driving work on new types of sensors, such as flexible, larger area ones.

Making waves with new gear technology

A new wave energy system, which uses a gearbox design generates five times more energy per ton of device, at one third of the cost when compared to competing state-of-the art technologies.

Lessons from conferences on electric, connected and autonomous cars

The event SMMT Connected covered the connected and ultimately autonomous car with some nod in the direction of other autonomous vehicles doing "dull, dirty, dangerous" rather than freeing up time and reducing accidents, which is what autonomous cars target.

Spearheading future electric vehicle battery production

Innovate UK and the Office for low emission Vehicles are to invest up to £10 million in a single consortium to develop a pilot line to understand how to produce high-voltage electric vehicle batteries at a rate that can later be scaled up for commercial production.

Groupe Gorgé a leading player in 3D printing

Two acquisitions mark a significant step forward in the strategy implemented by Groupe Gorgé since entering the 3D printing market two years ago.

Fibre-optic thread improves smart garments

Breakthrough optical technology has led to the creation of a new generation of wearable technology.

Many promising pathways for solar photovoltaic power

Use of solar photovoltaics has been growing at a phenomenal rate: Worldwide installed capacity has seen sustained growth averaging 43 percent per year since 2000. To evaluate the prospects for sustaining such growth, the MIT researchers look at possible constraints on materials availability, and propose a system for evaluating the many competing approaches to improved solar-cell performance.

Graphene's lightbulb moment

A graphene lightbulb with lower energy emissions, longer lifetime and lower manufacturing costs has been launched thanks to a University of Manchester research and innovation partnership.

Discovery could yield more efficient portable electronics, solar cells

By figuring out how to precisely order the molecules that make up what scientists call organic glass, chemists have set the stage for more efficient and sturdier portable electronic devices and possibly a new generation of solar cells based on organic materials.

Cleantech competence

This is the maxim of the Puchheim based, Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH. The wide variety of application areas for its products and activities are a consistent testimony to its credentials as a cleantech business.
