Could MEMS gravimeters be the next breakthrough in the MEMS industry? Gravimeters unlock subsurface scanning by measuring tiny deviations in local gravitational fields. Current gravimeters are large and expensive, but IDTechEx's latest report, "Next-Generation MEMS 2026-2036: Markets, Technologies, and Players", reveals that microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) could bring chip-scale gravimeters to market and dramatically alter the field of gravimetry.

The automotive industry is undergoing a foundational shift toward software-defined vehicles (SDVs), where functionality, value, and user experience are increasingly governed by software rather than hardware. IDTechEx's new market report, "Software-Defined Vehicles, Connected Cars, and AI in Cars 2026-2036: Markets, Trends, and Forecasts", offers a comprehensive analysis of this transformation, covering the evolution of in-vehicle electrical/electronic (E/E) architecture, connectivity platforms, feature monetization models, and long-term market forecasts.

IDTechEx explores the rising hardware and energy requirements needed for training today's largest AI models, and how nations are competing to stay ahead. This article discusses the sanctions the US has imposed on China, and how China is navigating these.
