Zephyr™ Technology Ltd and ADInstruments have announced the signing of a supply agreement, whereby Zephyr™ will provide ADInstruments with the Zephyr™ BioHarness™ wireless physiological monitoring device.

Vibration energy harvesting is receiving a considerable amount of interest as a means for powering wireless sensor nodes. It is the simple notion that mechanical vibration can be transformed into useful electrical power.

Researchers at Northwestern University and the University of Illinois have created electronics that can be twisted.

Researchers have developed a new type of small-scale electric power generator able to produce alternating current through the cyclical stretching and releasing of zinc oxide wires encapsulated in a flexible plastic substrate with two ends bonded.

Smart packaging company Stora Enso has joined forces with Medixine to market a new electronic compliance monitoring service.
