With a wealth of fascinating technologies being developed specifically for autonomous driving the possibilities are appearing endless, from neural networks to advanced sensors. However, there is a less glamorous technology, which may hold just as much importance, but will not get all the glory- the roads.

Researchers in the UK have reported a breakthrough in supercapacitor development with the potential to revolutionise the recharging cycle for battery operated devices. The development, by Augmented Optics, is based on polymers used to make soft contact lenses.

The termStretchable Electronics conceals great diversity. Indeed, it is an umbrella term that refers to a whole host of emerging electronic materials, components and devices that exhibit some degree of mechanical stretchability.Stretchable electronics has been in the making for than a decade, but it up to now it has been mostly a solution looking for a problem.

A two component epoxy system with a low mixed viscosity of 350-700 cps has been introduced by Master Bond. It is a low shrinkage/low exotherm product is well suited for large volume casting applications as well as bonding, coating and sealing.

Master Bond EP29LPHE is a two component epoxy system with a low mixed viscosity of 350-700 cps. This low shrinkage/low exotherm product is particularly well suited for large volume casting applications as well as bonding, coating and sealing. “What sets EP29LPHE apart from other epoxies is that while it cures relatively rigid, it has excellent toughness, provides a low moduls and high elongation, which allows it to withstand shock and impac...

Ideal for potting and encapsulation applications, Master Bond's MasterSil 157 is a two component silicone system that features low viscosity and low exotherm. According to the company, it has superior electrical insulation properties and can cure in sections beyond 1 inch thick.

Researchers from North Carolina State University have created elastic, touch-sensitivefibres that can interface with electronic devices."Touch is a common way to interact with electronics using keyboards and touch screens," says Michael Dickey, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at NC State and corresponding author of a paper describing the work.

Flexible moulding is a very popular go-to system across many industries when faced with a part reproduction application. It is more cost effective than 3D Printing for small runs and a great alternative to solid mould processes such a liquid injection moulding or resin transfer moulding.

The global market for pellets is thriving, thanks to a growing demand for pellets used as biofuel for heating in residential use and furnaces and boilers in industrial applications. However, equipment and machinery used for the high load and high-pressure production of pellets faces a reduced lifespan due to the inadequacy of existing industrial grease products. Here, Mark Burnett, VP of the Lubricants & Fuel Additives Innovation Platform at ...

In this age of smartphones and tablet computers, touch-sensitive surfaces are everywhere. They’re also brittle, as people with cracked phone screens everywhere can attest.Covering a robot — or an airplane or a bridge — with sensors will require a technology that is both flexible and cost-effective to manufacture in bulk. A team of researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory thinks that 3D p...
