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?
IDTechEx asks if electronics manufacturing can join the digital age
Asked whether electronics is a ‘digital technology’, almost everyone would reply in the affirmative. However, while printed circuit boards (PCBs) enable digital technologies, the manufacturing processes used to produce them are still largely analogue.
Why AI should be at the top of the national agenda
Artificial Intelligence has come a long way since the success of DeepMind over Go world champion Lee Sedol in 2016; the world is beginning to change according to the new possibilities afforded by AI.
Embedding electronic functionality: IDTechEx asks if it’s worthwhile
Integrating multiple functionalities within a single entity promises simpler, more efficient devices without compromising capability. Smartphones are a great example, with maps, diaries, phones, cameras, games consoles, and more integrated into a single, compact device.
Competing in-mould electronics manufacturing methodologies
Smooth, functional surfaces that provide touch sensing, often with backlighting, are becoming increasingly common.
