Manufacturers are looking for new opportunities to increase their revenues and margins. In this context, the IR LED market is perceived as a potential new ‘blue ocean’ with attractive opportunities for those players.

A future android brain like that of Star Trek’s Commander Data might contain neuristors, multi-circuit components that emulate the firings of human neurons.Neuristors already exist today in labs, in small quantities, and to fuel the quest to boost neuristors’ power and numbers for practical use in brain-like computing, the U.S. Department of Defense has awarded a $7.1 million grant to a research team led by the Georgia Institute of Te...

The new IDTechEx Research report 'Electric Buses 2018-2038'is about hybrid and pure electric buses, often in many new forms, powering up to be a massive $500bn market. By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx.

Jonathan Wilkins, Marketing Director at obsolete equipment supplier EU Automation discusses how factory design can impact operational efficiency.One of the most famous buildings in the New York skyline, The Empire State Building, underwent a $550m environmental upgrade in 2011. Improving insulation, implementing energy saving technologies and refurbishing 6,500 windows cut the building’s annual energy usage by a substantial $4.4m. When reno...

The global drone market is worth over £102bn. The UK government has announced new changes to drone legislation, including plans to introduce drone registration and safety courses for UAV owners.

Stakeholders across the automobile value chain acknowledge the importance of passenger/occupant safety and are constantly upgrading their offerings to provide fail safe safety technologies that will protect passengers and pedestrians. Proactive policy implementation and consumer awareness has played a key role in making automotive safety systems popular.

In recent years, engineers have worked to shrink drone technology, building flying prototypes that are the size of a bumblebee and loaded with even tinier sensors and cameras. Thus far, they have managed to miniaturise almost every part of a drone, except for the brains of the entire operation — the computer chip.

A research report from Nester has highlighted the growth and potential of the global flexible electronics market, which is being driven by the advancements in the technology of electronic devices.
