At CES this year, a fairly new company Faraday Future, which is in an electric car competition with Telsa, went all out with its press event and revealed a mystery car concept.Electronic and car enthusiasts were on the edge of their seats in Las Vegas last month as it was revealed that it had financial backing fromChinese billionaire Jia Yueting, and had received$335m worth of incentives from the state of Nevada last month to build a brand new $1...

dnaNUDGE announces that it has become a member of World Technology Network (WTN), acceding automatically as a finalist in the World Technology Award for Health and Medicine 2016.dnaNUDGE is co-founded by Professor Chris Toumazou and published geneticist and leukaemia researcher Dr Maria Karvela.

A special chain has been developed by Tsubaki, for the tray packing machinery widely used in the food and beverage industry. It is internally lubricated so that it is clean in use and does not need regular re-lubrication.

As we all know, Copper has the highest conductivity of any non-precious metal and this, combined with its high ductility, good machinability, high strength, ease of jointing and good resistance to corrosion, makes copper the first choice as a conductor for electrical applications.

A simple technique for producing oxide nanowires directly from bulk materials could dramatically lower the cost of producing the 1D nanostructures. That could open the door for a broad range of uses in lightweight structural composites, advanced sensors, electronic devices – and thermally-stable and strong battery membranes able to withstand temperatures of more than 1,000ºC.

It would be difficult to argue that the technological advancements that have been made in recent years have not been for the betterment of humanity. Almost every aspect of technology has been designed to make our lives easier, safer and even make us live longer – from ADAS in our cars and robotic surgery to smart homes and the IoT.

Electronic components that can be elongated or twisted - known as "stretchable" electronics - could soon be used to power electronic gadgets, the onboard systems of vehicles, medical devices and other products. And a 3D printing-like approach to manufacturing may help make stretchable electronics more prevalent, say researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology.

People were understandably sceptical when George Hotz, an artificial intelligence software developer and renowned hacker, announced the $999 Comma One kit, which promised to convert normal cars into semi-autonomous ones. OK, so the kit had its limitations, which Hotz’s company was at pains to point out. It would still have needed the driver to pay close attention at all times.

Navigating a city without public transport is almost impossible. Under the strain of increasing urban populations and growing pressure to reduce pollution in metropolitan areas, public transport is constantly adapting. But is it changing fast enough? Jonathan Wilkins, Marketing Director, EU Automation discussed the potential benefits of automation for public transport.

Silicon Valley in California spawns the awesome giants that hold the future in their hands but they cannot solve their traffic problem. Airbus Helicopters from Europe has the Vahana project, creating an autonomous flying vehicle platform for individual passenger and cargo transport, mimicking car sharing, with flight tests in 2017. Reliable sense-and-avoid technology is still needed. Airbus predicts global demand of millions, meaning low costs. ...
