Billions of low power electronics operating without batteries
IDTechEx Research's most recent report,Battery Elimination in Electronics and Electrical Engineering 2018-2028,notes that billions of wireless electronic and electrical products consuming microwatts to milliwatts or more operate without batteries or even capacitors to store energy. Among the most successful are the piezoelectric gas lighter, the bicycle light with dynamo and the EnOcean wireless building controls such as sensors, lights and light...
Liquid cooling tech used in high power charging solution for EVs
The electrical vehicle industry continues to gather pace. The market is forecast to grow to $731bn by 2027 (Source:IDTechEx). Several factors around vehicle charging will be crucial to underpin future growth. Increased availability of charging stations, for example, will be essential to enable more widespread access to charging and reduce consumer ‘range anxiety’. Yet equally important for growing consumer acceptance of Electric Vehic...
Cheers! Flexible electronics smartens up packaging
A smart beer label is not necessarily one that tells you when you have had enough, but one that can use push marketing to prompt drinkers to collect money off vouchers, via a smart label.
Antennae operate across all standards for wireless power transfer
For higher efficiency and smaller form factors in wirelessly power devices, Nucurrent's patented low resistance antennae, are the basis for customised designs and prototypes developed with customers to bring wireless power to new strucutres, such as furniture, as well as conventional consumer electronics and wearables.
Smooth ride
This electric motorcycle is silent but has battery-powered propulsion for acceleration without vibration, heat or noise, says Zero Motorcycles.
Mobile robotics: will forklifts ever be the same again?
Robotic technology will transform the forklift industry, causing a colossal transfer of value from human-provided driving services, towards spending on autonomous industrial material handling machines, thus fuelling an industry revenue boom far exceeding recent growth trends.

Wearable sensors to reach their first billion dollar year
IDTechEx predict that 2017 will be the first billion dollar year for wearable sensors. These critical components are central to the core value proposition in many wearable devices. The Wearable Sensors 2018-2028: Technologies, Markets & Playersreport includes IDTechEx’s latest research and forecasts on this topic, collating over three years of work to provide a thorough characterisation and outlook for each type of sensor used in wearab...
The future aspirations for long distance EVs
Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman at IDTechEx discusses the threeaspirations for long distance EVs.All the publicity currently goes to the race to make regular and premium cars have longer range. This isbecause most people want only one car so it must be capable of the long distance trip however rare.That must be achieved despite the inadequacy of charging points in number, speed and compatibilty of interface and payment means.
Renewables and EVs: Japan and New Zealand compared
According to IDTechEx's latest renewables and EVs: Japan and New Zealand compared report,Japan has very dirty power generation with renewables stuck at around 10% for two decades then rising last year to approach 15%. New Zealand has now powered up from 80-85% renewables feeding its grid - around the figures of Iceland and Norway.
Looking beyond autonomy to energy independent vehicles
The Bye Aerospace pure electric plane currently on sale is not yet energy independent but it does generate electricity from the propeller being driven backwards by wind when descending and when parked. It has structural solar wings and it saves the $100,000 in aviation fuel used by a regular small aircraft when training a pilot.
