Brazilian start-up Flying to the Sun, which specializes in the development of projects using photovoltaic energy, has created a solar bag made from Amazonian fish skin.

A new wearable technology made from stretchy, lightweight material could make heart health monitoring easier and more accurate than existing electrocardiograph machines — a technology that has changed little in almost a century.

Untethered robots suffer from a stamina problem. A possible solution: a circulating liquid - "robot blood" - to store energy and power its applications for sophisticated, long-duration tasks.

Regulatory challenges exist across each of the market sectors where electronic skin patch products have been proposed and commercialized. As part of the research for the report, "Electronic Skin Patches 2019-2029" IDTechEx Research has characterized some of the regulatory considerations in the context of each of the product sectors covered.

PragmatIC is pleased to announce that BSN, part of the Baoshen Group, has placed an order for its recently released ConnectIC products.

A protective layer of epoxy resin helps prevent the leakage of pollutants from perovskite solar cells, report scientists, adding a "self-healing" polymer to the top of a perovskite solar cell can radically reduce how much lead it discharges into the environment. This gives a strong boost to prospects for commercializing the technology.

The technologies seeking to unseat ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) are by now themselves old, at least in the sense that they have been around for a decade and a half. They seem to have been forever in the waiting mode, anticipating the arrival of their major breakthrough. A key differentiator has long been higher flexibility and foldability over ITO. The question now is how will different technology options fare given that the paradigm shift towards flexible displays is finally upon us despite the recent product launch delays?

Created with BeBop Sensors SmartFabric Sensors, the K-Board Pro 4 is a four-octave MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) MIDI keyboard controller based on the traditional keyboard layout, but with multiple dimensions of touch sensitivity in each key.

As the new VP of growth and product strategy, Mr. Johnson recognizes the importance of articulating what makes LasX different from its competition.

CHASM Advanced Materials, developer and manufacturer of carbon nanotube hybrid transparent conductive films, announced the launch of The CHASM Preferred Integration Partner (PIP) Program to assemble an exclusive network of the most prolific design, integration, and manufacturing organizations in the printed electronics industry.

The market for wearable technology will reach $70 billion by 2025, with medical, fitness and wellness expected to be the dominant sectors, according to IDTechEx. The always-on nature of E Ink technology combined with the flexible feature of Organic TFT are ideally suited for wearables, especially for clothing.

Creative Materials Introduces the128-09 Series of Pressure Variable Resistor inks offering the unique characteristics of electrical conductivity that decreases in resistance as pressure is increased. These inks have extremely fast response times, both with pressurization and relaxation, high bandwidth, and a strong pressure response.

Optoelectronic integration offers a promising strategy to simultaneously obtain the merits of electrons and photons when they serve as information carriers, including high-density communication and high-speed information processing, paving the way for the next-generation integrated circuits. (

Oki Electric Cable Co Ltd announced the launch of its Stretchable Flexible Printed Circuits "Stretchable FPC." The product is part of the new Oki Electric Cable product lineup to be introduced in June 2019.

Available for the first time starting this month, this razor-thin see-through display is designed to deliver a unique customer experience in specialized commercial applications, particularly retail and hospitality.

Researchers have developed a new technique that uses microneedle patches to collect DNA from plant tissues in one minute, rather than the hours needed for conventional techniques. DNA extraction is the first step in identifying plant diseases, and the new method holds promise for the development of on-site plant disease detection tools.

Antennas made of carbon nanotube films are just as efficient as copper for wireless applications, according to researchers. They're also tougher, more flexible and can essentially be painted onto devices.

Brewer Science Inc announced the expansion of its printed electronics program to incorporate service capabilities.

Scientists have found a way to significantly reduce the amount of energy required by organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). OLEDs have attracted attention as potential replacements for liquid crystal diodes, since they offer advantages such as being flexible, thin, and not requiring backlighting.
