Thursday 16 September 2021 - Why are the most popular applications being added beyond today's popular microwave frequencies for deployed metamaterials? Why will sophisticated metasurfaces be essential for planned terahertz 6G communications, transforming your mobile phone and much more?

Molex is a major manufacturer of printed electronics, flexible circuitry, sensor solutions, and user interface for a wide variety of applications. IDTechEx caught up with marketing analyst Kylie Pessetti of the Printed Circuit Solutions business unit (PCSBU) to find out about its capabilities in the manufacture of printed and flexible electronics.

Thermoelectrics is a business impeded by the use of the toxic rare metal Tellurium. Commendably, there is a trend to alternatives in research but few volume sales as yet in any of the three uses. These are energy harvesting to make electricity where it is needed and the more successful cooling and heating, those last two constituting very-reliable, solid heat pumps.

6G Communications Reprogrammable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) could become the largest market for metamaterials. This premium article focuses on the essential reprogrammable intelligent surfaces needed and applications beyond 6G.

Terahertz waves are electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than microwaves but lower than normal infrared radiation and visible light.

This premium article from IDTechEx includes mmWave Industry Pain Point Analysis, a Brief Introduction to mmWave Phased Array Antenna Module, and analysis on suppliers of mmWave Phased Array Antenna and mmWave RF Modules.

Metamaterials are added-value materials. The IDTechEx report, "Metamaterial and Metasurface Markets Electromagnetic 2022-2042" helps you prosper by making and deploying them everywhere. Who should you partner with, emulate or buy?

3M is introducing Glass Bubbles from 3M for 5G, the newest member of its high-strength hollow glass bubbles product line, provides a unique, low-loss high speed high frequency resin additive for composite materials that designers use to build 5G devices and assemblies.

The development of new technology often creates new opportunities to provide value to customers in new products. Electronic textiles have hundreds of potential use cases, many of which are being explored by different companies around the world. So where is the "killer app" for e-textiles?

In some applications we need the antenna to have a broader band of frequencies accepted and in others the opposite. Metamaterials can assist in most cases. This premium article covers metamaterial antennas for beginners

Thermoelectric cooling, heating, and harvesting is partly a great success now, partly to be a success later. First to analyze this big picture is the new IDTechEx report, "Thermoelectric Cooling, Heating, Harvesting: 90 Companies' Achievements and Strategies Appraised with Roadmap 2022-2042".
