AI and the road to full autonomy in autonomous vehicles
The road to fully autonomous vehicles is, by necessity, a long and winding one; systems that implement new technologies that increase the driving level of vehicles (driving levels being discussed further below) must be rigorously tested for safety and longevity before they can make it to vehicles that are bound for public streets.
How white biotechnology is innovating to advance the global bioeconomy
The advancement of biotechnology is critical to expanding both the bioeconomy, where society uses renewable biological resources to create biobased products and the circular economy.
Where do flexible hybrid electronics add the most value?
Can digital and/or high throughput manufacturing be applied to circuit boards? Can stretchable electronics be produced without sacrificing processing capabilities? Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) is an emerging manufacturing methodology that aims to resolve both of these questions.
Edge AI: the wait is (almost) over
Since the introduction of artificial intelligence to the data centre, AI has been loath to leave it. With large tracts of floorspace dedicated to servers comprising leading-edge chips that can handle the computational demands for training the latest in AI models, as well as inference via end-user connections to the Cloud, data centres are the ideal environment for facilitating much of what AI has to offer. And yet, over the past decade, AI has pu...
Chips as currency: America, China, and the AI race
Running in the background to the more visible, very real wars occurring around the world at present, there is another, economic and industrial in nature. This is a trade war between two principals: the USA and China. Leo Charlton, Technology Analyst at IDTechEx further discusses.
Four ways to eliminate rare earths in EV motors and one you haven’t heard
The use of rare earths in various modern technology has drawn attention over the years. But with the rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs), the issue has been brought to the fore. Dr James Edmondson, Principal Technology Analyst at IDTechEx further explores.
Flexible hybrid electronics offers the best of both approaches
Can electronics be additively manufactured and flexible without compromising on the capabilities of conventionally produced integrated circuits (ICs)?
Printed electronics progresses towards greater commercial adoption
How far is printed/flexible electronics along the road to widespread adoption? The emerging manufacturing methodology, which replaces etched copper laminate with printed conductive inks on flexible substrates, offers multiple benefits, including flexibility/stretchability, the potential for low-cost roll-to-roll production, digital manufacturing/rapid prototyping, and improved sustainability.
Through the Black Mirror: 'Joan Is Awful' and AI malpractice
In a recently published article,AI, and Security: Ensuring That Opportunities Outweigh the Threats, IDTechEx discussed the importance of ownership and culpability when it comes to deploying AI tools, especially in the context of creative works.
Printed & flexible electronics: status, innovations and prospects
What do electronic skin patches, thin-film flexible photovoltaics and automotive interior consoles have in common?
