Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) use processes from the semiconductor industry to integrate different optical functions onto a single chip. Their development is becoming increasingly important in high-speed communications, data centers, and systems designed for heavy loads...
Spain now has a capacity market. Order TED/966/2026 creates a new mechanism to remunerate the availability of firm power in the peninsular electricity system, opening a new revenue stream for flexible technologies such as BESS battery storage, the response of...
The Tekniker technology center, a member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA), has been investigating, together with Erreka Medical and the Gaiker technology center, the integration of genetic technologies and electrochemical sensors into disposable microfluidic chips for the detection of agents...
Over the past three decades, the rise of smaller-scale renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic solar panels and wind turbines, combined with smart grid technology, has fundamentally changed how homes and businesses interact with the grid...
Drones can pose a risk to the security of airports, critical infrastructure, military installations, and large-scale events. However, they are difficult to detect when flying out of sight, for example, when visibility is reduced.
The Eurecat technology center is participating in the TECSOL-FRUT project, which was created to address two of the main challenges facing the agricultural sector: adapting crops to climate change and the need to move towards a more sustainable energy model.
The rising price of silver often dominates discussions surrounding the conductive inks market. As the predominant conductive material in printed electronics, silver represents a significant proportion of formulation costs, driving research into...
Since the development of power diodes and thyristors in the 1950s, silicon has long been the dominant material in power electronics, in applications ranging from electric vehicles to wind turbines. However, the emergence of...
The humanoid robotics sector is transitioning from prototype development and demonstrations to structured pilot implementations and early commercial adoption. The new IDTechEx report, "Humanoid Robot Materials 2026-2036: Technologies, Players, and Forecasts," predicts that...
