The worlds of supercapacitors and graphene are converging. That is why IDTechEx has a complete two day nine conference co-located event on these subjects, which will take place in Santa Clara, CA this November 19-20.

As tracked by market research company IDTechEx and further explained in the recently updated report “Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors: Supercapacitors 2014-2024”, supercapacitors are improving faster than lithium-ion batteries in most respects. A gradual increase in the supercapacitor component and decrease of the battery component is in prospect with IDTechEx forecasting that the global market value for supercapacitors will be...

IDTechEx finds that the global sale of hybrid and pure electric cars will triple to $178.9 billion in 2024 as they are transformed in most respects. Up-to-date ten year forecasts are provided in this new IDTechEx report, "Hybrid and Pure Electric Cars 2014-2024" - unique in revealing how everything about such cars is being reinvented.

By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx The heart of the e-textile business as it emerges is electric and electronic functionality from sensing to light emission, achieved entirely by use of e-fibers. Components and interconnections intrinsic to the fabric, or at least widely distributed through the fabric, are less visible and not susceptible to becoming tangled together or snagged by the surroundings. An e-textile can be worn in everyday situat...

Mobile phones and associated wearable electronics are now part of what is called the Internet of People. They will often have very flexible displays, some tightly rolled into a conventional phone body. When pulled out, these screens will gather useful amounts of electricity from the sun as the user enjoys the large screen created with its haptic (feel what you do) keyboard.

A recent report from IDTechEx, "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: Electric UAVs 2014-2024", has been tracking changes in the market, none quicker than the adoption of pure electric quadcopters. The starting point for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is rarely military; it is at the other extreme with toy helicopters and predating professional UAV helicopters and so on.

The recent fitting of an alcohol-detecting band to a convicted binge drinker in the UK is a reminder of how the use of wearable electronics for behaviour control is proceeding apace. In a first for the UK, the authorities fixed a SCRAM alcohol-detecting leg band to a high risk offender. By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx.

Many giant electronics manufacturers, computer services companies and conglomerates have tens of billions of dollars in the bank that is instantly available for investment to counter their saturating sales in mature markets. Samsung, General Electric and Google are examples and Apple even has $133 billion available.

Last Christmas, there was huge demand, from Japan to the UK, for the neurowear clip-on of floppy ears driven by brain waves to reflect your mood. They would have been played with for one day and then put away forever. Such novelty peaks can be expected with many forms of wearable technology as it enters its manic phase with hugely overpriced acquisitions. Facebook is buying Oculus VR, a tiny Californian company specialising in virtual reality hea...
