Graphene coated with nanoparticles has been used to make wearable light sensors that measure the human pulse and blood oxygen levels from ambient light passing through tissue, offering a potential platform for health-care monitoring.

A team have produced a two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride ink which has been used to fabricate flexible thin-film transistors.

IDTechEx will be hosting a webinar on 17 December titled RFID: Progress, Trends and Where Next.

Canatu's new factory was opened on the 20th November 20129 in Vantaa, Finland. The new factory has room to increase the manufacturing capacity 150 times compared to old Konala factory.

At the IDTechEx Show! USA 2019, in Santa Clara, there was a panel discussion on "Women in STEM". This article summarizes the key topics and points from the discussion.

At the recent IDTechEx Show in Santa Clara, C2Sense took the award for 'Graphene & 2D Materials - Most Significant Advancement In Graphene, CNT, Or 2D Material Commercialization'. Their application was on 'Selective CNT Gas Sensors' and was a popular choice with the independent judging panel.

Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) are not glamourous but are often an essential component found in all manner of electronic and energy storage applications. Indeed, they are absolutely pervasive. They are truly a diverse technology in terms of suppliers, material options, deposition techniques, applications, market requirement and performance levels. This makes them difficult to analyse.

Perovskite nanocrystals hold promise for improving a wide variety of optoelectronic devices - from lasers to light emitting diodes - but problems with their durability still limit the material's broad commercial use.

This premium article reviews the use of thermal interface materials (TIM) in consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops.

Computer scientists have created a device for wearable computer input suitable for many situations, just by touching your fingertips together in different ways.

Hap2U, a haptics developer specialized in integrating sensory intelligence into tactile surfaces, announces that it will unveil Hap2Phone, the world's first haptic smartphone allows users to feel and sense, for the first time, objects in photos appearing on their touchscreens.

Researchers from multiple disciplines are working together to develop bioelectronics that can detect diseases, treat cancers and track marine animals; they may even discover the next generation of computing systems.

A research collaboration has found that old newspapers can be used as a low cost, eco-friendly material on which to grow single walled carbon nanotubes on a large scale.

Engineers have made a breathable material that is both highly stretchable and has good electrical conductivity, making it promising for on-skin electronics for people and wiring for robots.

Researchers have improved on a transparent, conductive coating material, producing a tenfold gain in its electrical conductivity. When incorporated into a type of high-efficiency solar cell, the material increased the cell's efficiency and stability.
