Stretchable electronics: everything you need to know
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.

The IDTechEx Show! 2017 plans to bring emerging technologies together
The IDTechEx Show! is taking place next month, 10th and 11th May, in Berlin and is part of the world’s largest event series for emerging technologies. Hosted by global emerging technology research and technology scouting firm IDTechEx, the event brings together multiple inter-related emerging technologies in one place, eight parallel conference tracks on the topics of printed and flexible electronics; wearable technology; 3D printing; senso...
Report gives Graphene market update
IDTechEx has closely followed the graphene industry over the past five years and regularly interview suppliers and users, organize the leading events on the topics, and speak at many conferences around the world.
In-Mould electronics set to take off at last
According to IDTechEx, In Mold Electronics (IME) is making a commercial comeback. The research company says behind-the-scenes interest in IME remains robust and the first wave of products are close to market launch, the value networks are being enhanced, volume manufacturers are more engaged than ever, and the material set is transitioning beyond conductive inks to include transparent conductive films, sensors, actuators, and so on.
Can VR provide the jump-start for the haptics industry?
Haptic technology is now present in billions of electronic devices, from vibrating smartphones to notifications in industrial scanners. With this in mind, a new report from IDTechEx Research, Haptics 2017-2027: Technologies, Markets and Players, has revealed that the haptics industry will be worth $2.8bn by 2027.
Using drones to harness the power of the wind
A new report has been published by IDTechEx Research into the feasibility of Airborne Wind Energy (AWE), a system that uses UAVs, or drones, to capture wind energy at heights higher than standard wind turbines.The concept began with kites flying in a figure of eight trajectory to create electricity from heights where winds are much stronger and more consistent than those tapped by conventional wind turbines on land or even offshore.
Mild hybrid vehicles to offer increased acceleration
Vehicle emissions regulations for 2025 and 2030 are unlikely to be met by conventional vehicle technology as applied to most vehicles beyond small cars. Going to strong hybrid and pure electric powertrains involves considerable expense and delay and often new platforms.
Cleverer smart windows grow $6.5 billion market
The IDTechEx report, Electrically Active Smart Glass and Windows 2018-2028 observes that electrically active see-through glass is an idea whose time has come. It powers the megatrend of structural electronics instead of the tired old components-in-a-box designs and replaces drapes and ugly solar panels that are an afterthought. It saves space, weight and cost while improving reliability, ruggedness and life of electrics, electronics and active op...
Airborne wind energy: electricity from kites and drones comes to market
This webinar will share research recently carried out for the new IDTechEx report, Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) 2017-2027. Tethered kites and aircraft and the like can produce electricity from the stronger and more consistent winds higher than those reached by conventional wind turbines.
Report details the conductive inks and paste market
The paste market for the PV industry is currently booming as PV sales are up in anticipation of the end of current feed-in-tariffs in China. In fact, sales has surpassed even the expectations of material and paste suppliers.The paste market has witnessed a change of market share in the past few years which has had major ripple effects across the conductive paste industry: big paste suppliers actively started to develop nascent markets that would ...
