Overheating is the most critical issue in the computer industry.

New research conducted by IDTechEx finds that the thermal interface materials market - including tapes, adhesives, greases, gels, pastes, elastomeric pads, phase change materials, graphite, solders, compressible materials and liquid metals - will grow from $1.7 billion in 2015 to $3.7 billion in 2025.

The new IDTechEx report, "Electric Motorcycles and Three Wheel Electric Vehicles 2015-2025" reveals gaps in the market as e-motorcycles and their three wheel derivatives become a multi-billion dollar market. One gap is the crossover between bikes and motorcycles created as a premium-priced product.

There will be over 3 billion sensors in wearable technology devices by 2025, with more than 30% being emerging sensor types.

The printed electronics industry shows a huge interest in sensors as it seeks to forget the failures from the past.

The metal oxide backplane technology has many clear advantages.

A revolution is slicing through the car industry.

Load bearing structures that are also electronic or electrical are called structural electronics. This two-for-the-price-of-one approach can be more reliable, attractive and long-lived and it always saves space.

About 2,800 people and 200 exhibitors from 40 countries attended the IDTechEx Printed Electronics USA event in Santa Clara last week - the world's largest event on the topic. Watch the highlights here.
