Panasonic has developed a soft, flexible, and stretchable polymer resin film using its proprietary stretchable resin technology. The Company will also provide a transparent electrode material and conductive paste along with this insulating film.This insulating film material is claimed to stretch to 2.5 times its original length and then returns...

Researchers at MIT, the University of California at Berkeley, and the University of Colorado have produced a working optoelectronic microprocessor, which computes electronically but uses light to move information. The chip was produced using only processes found in existing microchip fabrication facilities, proving that the design can be scaled up...

Carbon nanotubes are legendary in their strength - at least 30 times stronger than Kevlar by some estimates. When mixed with lightweight polymers such as plastics and epoxy resins, the tiny tubes reinforce the material, like the rebar in a block of concrete, promising lightweight and strong materials for airplanes, spaceships, cars and even sports...

According to US researchers, energy storage system owners could see significant savings from a new flow battery technology that is projected to cost 60% less than today's standard flow batteries.The organic aqueous flow battery is expected to cost £120 per kilowatt-hour once the technology is fully developed. The lower cost is due to...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge are developing technologies which use deep learning techniques to help machines to recognise their location and surroundings. The systems could be used for the development of driverless cars and autonomous robotics.The systems can identify a user’s location and orientation in places where GPS d...
