Conductive inks are a wonderfully adaptive technology. This characteristic has enabled them to stay relevant and to rejuvenate themselves over the past several decades. This is because as old markets have struggled or declined the technology has managed to find and/or create new uses. Several years ago, a new frontier called in-mold electronics (or IME) started to emerge. This frontier, as reported in the IDTechEx Research report Conductive Ink…

The AMSYSTEMS Center is a joint innovation center of TNO and the High Tech Systems Center of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e HTSC) to accelerate (new ways of) additive manufacturing in diverse industries.

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Thursday 12 July titled Gas Sensors for Internet of Things.

This article analyses the major technological and commercial trends that shape the past, present and future of transparent conductive film technology.

A team of physicists have discovered a fundamentally new way surfaces can get wet. Their study may allow scientists to create the thinnest films of liquid ever made—and engineer a new class of surface coatings and lubricants just a few atoms thick.

The intelliFLEX Innovation Alliance announced that Varitron Technologies is joining its eco-system and making a substantial investment to develop its capabilities in flexible and hybrid electronics.

Optomec Report shows directed energy deposition to be 10x faster and 5x less expensive than power bed fusion for building mid-size metal parts.

Scientists from ANU have designed tiny optical sensors that open the door to developing a wearable device that allows doctors to medically diagnose people's health in real time.

2018 has been the year of major new announcements at Stratasys. Not only have they announced that they are developing two new technologies, but they are doing so through the launch of two start-ups and are venturing into the lucrative metal 3D printing ecosystem in the process

Electronic textiles could allow a person to control household appliances or computers from a distance simply by touching a wristband or other item of clothing — something that could be particularly helpful for those with limited mobility. Now researchers have developed a new type of e-textile that is self-powered, highly sensitive and washable.

Shares in materials engineer Versarien have jumped after a wide-ranging agreement was made over graphene-based inks and a new 'Graphinks' product range was launched.

In this article, we will discuss the latest prototypes and developments showcased during the event. We will focus on two trends: flexible and rollable OLED displays, and printed OLED displays.

In the recently published IDTechEx market report titled Fiber Lasers 2018-2028: Technologies, Opportunities, Markets & Forecasts, Dr Nilushi Wijeyasinghe explores how recent fiber laser technology developments affect the growth of key market segments.

Researchers demonstrate the possibility of using ultrastable film formation to improve the performance of state-of-the-art OLEDs.

Scientists have discovered electronic properties in quantum-scale devices that are likely to impact the growing field of low-cost perovskite based optoelectronics.

E Ink Holdings announced that its patented ePaper display technology has been used in the development of the Pomera DM30, a portable digital typewriter produced by King Jim.

In this premium article we will discuss the key technological and business trends shaping the dynamics of existing and emerging applications areas. This will be useful article for anyone interested in the conductive ink business

A smart blister pack for digital patient compliance monitoring to enhance medication adherence by clinical trial participants.

Researchers have demonstrated large-scale fabrication of a new type of transparent conductive electrode film based on nanopatterned silver. Smartphone touch screens and flat panel televisions use transparent electrodes to detect touch and to quickly switch the color of each pixel. Because silver is less brittle and more chemically resistant than materials currently used to make these electrodes, the new films could offer a high-performance and…

3D printing of composite parts, specifically fiber reinforced polymers, is a rapidly emerging field. Arevo have created the world's first true 3D-printed carbon fiber bicycle.
