Electrically conductive adhesives enabling low temperature electronics
Materials are needed to replace the estimated 50,000 metric tons of tin-lead solder currently used each year, but there are no 'drop-in' replacements for eutectic tin-lead solder. $1.2bn of Electrically Conductive Adhesives (ECAs) are already selling each year and they are becoming increasingly common to replace solders in a variety of functions, applications and industries.

'Fit and forget' miniature battery suits IoT sensors
A miniaturised solid state battery technology for IoT devices, the Stereax M250 has been introduced by Ilika, a spin-out from the School of Chemistry at the University of Southampton. Addressing the key challenge of always-on, self-charging and efficient energy, Ilika’s Stereax battery family will enable smaller, higher energy-dense batteries to accelerate IoT products to market.
Flexible, printed and thin film batteries: A new era for energy storage
The battery market has suddenly become alive again in recent years. On the one hand, batteries are assuming new form factors, becoming ultra-thin, flexible, rollable, stretchable, etc. On the other hand, manufacturers are scrambling to offer larger batteries aimed at addressing EV and grid applications.By Dr Xiaoxi He, Technology Analyst, IDTechEx.
Microsoft tests underwater data centre for more efficient cooling
Microsoft has tested a prototype of a self-contained data centre that can operate hundreds of feet below the surface of the ocean, in efforts to reducing the need for expensive air-conditioning. By Rachel Gordon, Technology Analyst, IDTechEx.

Solar roads find many uses
Nowadays a major trend is the move to off-grid clean energy created by 'energy harvesting' to produce electricity where it is needed. This is more controllable and increasingly at lower cost than grid power or diesel gensets, cleaner and often less subject to interruption. It is taking new forms as revealed in the IDTechEx Research report, 'High Power Energy Harvesting 2016-2026'.
Why does the UHD standard matter for quantum dot suppliers?
Content is king. And when it comes to new display technologies this mantra certainly makes a lot of sense. After all, what would be the point of getting the latest TV on the market if you just had some old DVDs to watch? Good content is what justifies a hardware upgrade. By Dr Guillaume Chansin, Senior Technology Analyst, IDTechEx.
What’s new at IDTechEx 2016?
Green technologies will take centre stage at this year’s IDTechEx Show, taking place in Berlin from 27th-28th April. Among these will be electric vehicles, which will have a major emphasis at the session ‘Electric Vehicles: Everything is Changing’. Speakers and exhibitors from companies including Toyota, Daimler, Tesla, Siemens and IBM will showcase how mechanical, electric and electronic parts are completely changing and often ...
Microdisplay technologies enable the AR/VR revolution
If the buzz at the Consumer Electronics Show is any indication of things to come (and it usually is), 2016 is expected to be the year of VR. Much anticipated VR headset launches, announcement of investment in enabling technologies and developments of optimised components made VR the words on everyone's lips at CES 2016.
