Whilst the latest electronic components continue to push the boundaries of performance, there are many that now see Moore's Law reaching its ultimate limits. Electronic devices continue to achieve increasing levels of ubiquity, but for this to continue, electronics need new form factors in order to integrate seamlessly into our surroundings.

RFID is booming - it now accounts for the largest number of silicon Integrated Circuits (ICs) made of one particular type. But in addition to over 20% growth over the next few years, there is much more to come. According to IDTechEx, RFID is moving beyond wireless identification alone to wireless sensing of parameters such as temperature, humidity and much more.

The conductive ink industry is still in search of the next big thing. Adverse competitive pressures in core volume markets has led most suppliers to seek new opportunities. The prevalent strategy is now to have as broad a product portfolio as possible, seeding multiple nascent markets, garnering as much customer feedback as possible and establishing value networks early on.

Advancements in robotics are moving at a very fast pace, spearing ahead the expected proliferation of robots in new and existing applications. Deploying sensors in robotics allows for the creation of robots that can ‘see’ and ‘feel’, in a biomimetic way, just like humans do.

The new report from IDTechEx Research,Energy Independent Electric Vehicles Land, Water, Air 2017-2037, reveals how energy independent Electric Vehicles (EIV) such as solar racers were a curiosity five years ago, too weak to lead to anything generally useful. Then a solar boat and plane went round the world and a solar plane is now being prepared that will rise from earth to 24,386km (80,000ft) on sunshine alone.

A report providing a comprehensive view on market data; market and technology appraisal and case studies, on the complete picture for printed, flexible and organic electronics has been published, additionally giving detailed ten year forecasts by device type.The market is analysed by territory, printed vs. non-printed, rigid vs. flexible, inorganic vs. organic, cost of materials vs. process cost and much more.

A new reporthas been announced byIDTechEx Research, entitledIndustrial and Commercial Electric Vehicles on Land 2017-2027.Today the industrial and commercial sector represents 60% of the value of the whole electric vehicle market, and it is set to grow 4.5 times in the next decade.

In 2016, Li-ion Batteries (LIB) celebrated their silver jubilee, i.e. they have been on the market, virtually unchanged, for the last 25 years. Dr Lorenzo Grande, Technology Analyst, IDTechEx discusses.

BodyCapannounces that two of its wearable health monitoring devices are currently being used by European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Thomas Pesquet aboard the International Space Station (ISS), as part of ESA’s EveryWear program, an ambulatory data collection system.

According to IDTechEx, lithium-ion batteries will dominate the automotive scene over the coming ten years and possibly the coming 15 years.During that time we shall see peak lead acid battery the biggest nail in its coffin being when electric vehicles more widely abandon them and even those conventional vehicles modified to stay legal under impending carbon dioxide laws abandon them, relying totally on lithium-ion units.
