Investing your own money successfully isn’t as hard as most people think. Still, it takes some time and effort. Most people would rather pay a competent financial advisor for advice instead, and they will probably tell you about the importance of diversification, why your age has something to do with your tolerance for risk, the usefulness […]
We’ve discussed before the differences between a machine that builds printed circuit boards (PCBs) and a machine that can create 3D printed electronics. 3D printed electronics could be considered a new technology while building PCBs is something companies have been doing for decades. Here’s what the competitive space looks like for printed electronics: A company called […]
3D Printing just keeps getting pounded, with the “Nanalyze 3D Printing Stocks” motif down -35% since we first created it in June. While the 3D printing theme has fallen out of favor with investors, the potential of this disruptive technology hasn’t changed a bit. We’ve talked before about “printed electronics“, and how the ability to print circuits […]
In past articles, we’ve talked about the potential of “The Internet of Things” (IoT) which is the notion that all the objects around us can be enabled with the tiniest of microchips that can easily gather information and communicate with “the internet”. What makes IoT possible today is the miniaturization of electronic devices such as the […]
The ability to print electronics is an emerging technology that is forecasted to experience significant growth over the next 5 years as seen in the below chart by NanoMarkets: When we talk about traditional “printed electronics”, we typically refer to the ability to print electronic circuits onto a substrate. The act of creating the substrate […]
In a previous article, we discussed electronic ink or E-ink and how its usage will decline as the demand for e-readers declines. On the other hand, applications such as “electronic shelf labels (ESLs)” for use in retail “bricks-and-mortar” storefronts are expected to more than offset this decline. ABI Research issued a report recently titled “Next Gen Retail: Electronic […]
In an article last week titled “Investing in Electronic Ink (E Ink)“, we discussed how the decline in sales of e-readers is affecting demand for E Ink but there are still many other disruptive applications for this technology. One of these applications is “electronic shelf labels (ESLs)” for use in retail “bricks-and-mortar” storefronts. ABI Research issued […]
According to a 2012 market research report by MarketsandMarkets, the total thin film and printed battery market amounted to just $181.5 million in 2012, however it is expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2017, a CAGR of over +46.14%! In past articles, we covered Blue Spark’s green and disposable carbon-zinc batteries which are just .029 inches thick, and […]
In a previous article, we highlighted printed electronics company PragmatIC Printing and their ability to produce sub-micron transistors on various flexible substrates. We also highlighted Blue Spark Technologies which produces flexible batteries and helped PragmatIC produce a flexible timer which they debuted at the recent IDTechEx Printed Electronics Europe event that was held in Berlin. Another company, Enfucell, produces eco-friendly printed […]
In a previous article, we highlighted printed electronics company PragmatIC Printing and their ability to produce sub-micron transistors on various flexible substrates. PragmatIC recently partnered with P&G and several other firms to create the world’s first flexible multi-functional timer based on commercially available printed electronics. This timer was distributed at the IDTechEx Printed Electronics Europe event which took place last week in Berlin. […]
