This was the analyst presentation given at the IDTechEx Show! which provides an overview of Printed Electronics.

Carbon atoms have diverse possibilities to form bonds. Pure carbon can therefore occur in many forms, as diamond, graphite, as nanotubes, football molecules or as a honeycomb-net with hexagonal meshes, graphene. This exotic, strictly two-dimensional material conducts electricity excellently, but is not a superconductor. But perhaps this can be changed.

Thin Film Electronics ASA announced it has received the IDTechEx Technical Development in Manfacturing award in recognition of Thinfilm's pioneering roll-to-roll printed electronics fab in San Jose.

SABIC presented an innovative new transparent high-heat LEXAN™ CXT film product at the IDTechEx show in California. The new polycarbonate (PC) based technology combines superior optical clarity and high design flexibility with excellent thermal and dimensional stability at elevated process temperatures.

With a compound growth of 1,072 percent over four years, solar energy technology leader Midsummer clocks in at place 19 on the list of Sweden's 50 fastest growing technology companies 2018, the Deloitte Technology Sweden Fast 50.

Thinfilm's Board of Directors has appointed Kevin Barber as CEO, effective from 26 November 2018. Prior to joining Thinfilm, Kevin Barber served as Senior Vice President, General Mobile Division of Synaptics, a NASDAQ listed company.

Many new electric vehicles were on display at the IDTechEx Show! on November 14-15 in Santa Clara, but that was the tip of the iceberg. The event had a hidden message; the future enabling technologies for electric vehicles (EVs) from buses to cars to mining vehicles.

Tandem solar cells made of silicon and metal halide perovskite compounds can convert a particularly large portion of the solar spectrum into electrical energy. However, part of the light is reflected and is thus lost for purposes of energy conversion. Using nanostructures, the reflection can be reduced significantly ensuring that the solar cell captures more light.

The demand to reduce CO2 emissions in city centers is one of the key drivers for Wrightbus to implement new technology which cuts down CO2 emissions by saving fuel.

A new fabrication process for transparent ultra-thin silver films has been developed. The material may help build highly efficient solar cells and light-emitting diodes. However, traditional chemical methods have not been able to produce ultra-thin and pure silver films.

CERADROP, a MGI Group company, expands its horizon and welcomes their new customer and partner - The Tampere University of Technology.

At the 15th IDTechEx Printed Electronics USA conference and exhibition held in Santa Clara on November 14-15, three organizations were honored for their great achievements in developing and commercializing printed electronics technologies.

Organic solar cells that can be painted or printed on surfaces are increasingly efficient, and now show promise for incorporation into applications like clothing that also require them to be flexible.

Optomec today announced that the company will showcase it's Aerosol Jet HD System for today's most demanding electronics packaging challenges at the IDTechEx Printed Electronics USA show in Santa Clara, California this week.

CPI worked with Craig Downs on mymo, a wearable sock which uses artificial intelligence to gauge an athlete's gait.

FocalSpec, a supplier of 3D Line Confocal Imaging sensors and systems is demonstrating its unique technology combining 3D topography, 3D tomography and 2D grayscale intensity imaging at Printed Electronics USA, part of IDTechEx Show held in Santa Clara November 14-15, 2018.

PPG and Powercast Corporation announced a joint development agreement to produce ultra-thin and wirelessly powered printed electronics products.

Bend Labs will be available at the IDTechEx Printed Electronics USA Event, November 14-15, to demonstrate their flexible soft sensor technology, which is disrupting both established and emerging industries by making it possible to measure true angular displacement.

A major factor holding back development of wearable biosensors for health monitoring is the lack of a lightweight, long-lasting power supply. Now scientists report that they have developed a method for making a charge-storing system that is easily integrated into clothing for "embroidering a charge-storing pattern onto any garment."

Scientists' method quenches lithium metal dendrites in batteries that charge faster, last longer.
