In 2020 smart cities have been pivoting reinvented hardware and associated systems.

While the basic smart city ideas are mainly updates, the materials and devices enabling them are certainly new and they do add remarkable new functions.

The focus of smart cities has changed. In 2020, smart cities have been pivoting reinvented hardware and associated systems.

Supercapacitors (ultracapacitors) are the only capacitors using an electrochemical double layer (EDL) to give one thousand times more storage for a given weight or volume.

Thursday 3 December (includes Q&A session) - Printed/flexible electronics is a constantly evolving area with extensive scope for innovation. In this webinar, Dr Matthew Dyson will discuss four technical innovations learned about in 2020.

Fluoropolymers are typically available as liquids and solids, but new fluoroelastomers are getting interest.

A newer approach of serving low power electronics by area more than efficiency is promising.

One day solar "power stations" as we know them will be banned.
