Solar energy constituted 65% of the total 295 GW installed renewable capacity in 2022. About 70% of the deployed solar panels were monofacial panels that generate electricity from only the top side of the panel. Despite their popularity, these monofacial panels have encountered challenges related to space efficiency, energy yield, and dependence on...

Reversible solid oxide cells (rSOCs) are emerging as a promising technology for flexible energy conversion, long-duration energy storage, and renewable energy integration. By enabling bidirectional conversion between electricity and hydrogen within a single system, rSOCs address key challenges associated with renewable intermittency, grid flexibili...

Through incentives and subsidies, governments are encouraging users to transition from cars to eBikes. The increasing urbanization is pushing cities and last-mile delivery companies to promote micromobility, including eBikes and eCargo bikes. The growing number of companies, increasing eBike adoption, and attractive incentives are making the eBike ...

Digital twin is a virtual replica of an actual product, facility, asset, equipment, or plant, which are either hosted on premises or in the cloud. Companies are using digital twins to better understand the real world scenarios remotely, aiming to provide real-time assistance instead of reactive-based assistance. Digital twin technology is mostly u...

The growing use of digital payments in Asia-Pacific (APAC) paves the way for innovation and new use cases that address user pain points payment solutions, such as self-checkout, enhance customer experience while software point-of-sale (softPOS) accelerates the merchant onboarding process. The APAC market will become more aware of the benefits of ne...

A mass spectrometer (MS) determines atom/molecule mass by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of its ions. It consists of four basic components: a sample inlet, an ionization source, a mass analyzer, and a detector. It is largely used in University research laboratories and government research institutions; pharmaceutical, biotechnology/biopharmaceu...

Building information modeling (BIM) digitizes the functional and physical aspects of the project in the construction sector, providing more visibility and easing the decision-making process in the entire lifecycle. Apart from 3D (width, height and depth) modeling, BIM also consists of other dimensions such as 4D (time), 5D (cost), 6D (Sustainabilit...

This issue of High-Tech Materials Technology Opportunity Engine (TOE) profiles significant advances in high-technology materials for various industrial applications. The featured innovations include Cellulose-based Foams for Sustainable Packaging, Advancing Circular Packaging Through Textile Waste Innovation, Valorizing Silkworm Pupae Waste into Hi...

Consumers, especially in the Western world, are looking for clean-label products. Circular economy is a key enabler for environmental friendly products, and reverse logistics, as a method to integrate the consumer in the upcycling and production cycle, is reinforcing this potential marketing aspect. Reverse logistics is the process of collecting...
