Counterfeit products are a huge problem - from medicines to car parts, fake technology costs lives.

How to turn three niche industries into a pan-European competitive advantage

Flexible hybrid electronics can be bent or stretched. Picture pulling a wand from your pocket, unfurling a scroll, and watching a movie on a desktop-size screen.

Printed electronic transistor circuits and displays, in which the colour of individual pixels can be changed, are two of many applications of ground-breaking research.

Henkel AG & Company, KGaA, is a German chemical and consumer goods company headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Smart windows equipped with controllable glazing can augment lighting, cooling and heating systems by varying their tint, saving up to 40 percent in an average building's energy costs.

VTree is building a solar future base on three powerful concepts: solar energy, internet and great design.

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 11th July titled Encapsulation of Flexible Electronics: to TFE or not to TFE?

PrintoCent Innovation Center commercializes the research results of Printed Intelligence and Optical Measurements.

Screens on even the newest phones and tablets can be hard to read outside in bright sunlight. Inspired by the nanostructures found on moth eyes, researchers have developed a new antireflection film that could keep people from having to run to the shade to look at their mobile devices.

Nano Dimension Ltd. (NASDAQ, TASE: NNDM) is focused on the research and development of advanced 3D printed electronics.

Versatile, light-weight materials that are both strong and resilient are crucial for the development of flexible electronics, such as bendable tablets and wearable sensors.

Through the collaboration, Amplified will integrate Thinfilm's technology into beer coasters distributed on premise, enabling a direct mobile connection with consumers through the simple tap of a smartphone.

This article by IDTechEx CEO Raghu Das provides an overview of technologies, markets, opportunities and applications for 3D printed electronics.

Nanotechnologists have used 3D laser printing to fabricate centimeter-sized objects of atomically thin graphene.

Chromera is developing a new class of smart labels so those on-the-spot encounters can be harnessed to reduce waste, streamline operations, strengthen customer relationships and generate new business.

The 21st-century commercialisation of the aerogel industry has been extensively discussed, but despite the excitement and huge potential, it is still a long way from plain sailing for the manufacturers.

Try bending your iPhone in half. Or roll up your tablet like a scroll. Or wrap a touchscreen TV around a pole. Didn't work out so well, did it? That's because the ceramic material used to make many of today's touchscreens has only two of three needed qualities: it's conductive, it's transparent—but it's not flexible.
