Quantum technology offers many untapped opportunities that businesses are just beginning to realize. Consider the case of quantum sensors, which is forecast to reach $7.1 billion by 2044, according to IDTechEx. Quantum sensors can be used to measure time, magnetic field and current, gravity, angular motion, single-photons, and more. This could prove useful in applications such as electric and autonomous vehicles, brain scanners, quantum computers, underground mapping equipment, satellite, and consumer electronics, just to name a few. Here is how this can help in various vertical markets: Timing and inertial navigation. Remote current sensing. Quantum computing read-out. Looking to the…

Printed electronics offer a lot of opportunities for industries—and printed electronics continue to evolve. As always, let’s look back to look forward. The original idea for printed, flexible electronics involved printing all circuit elements, including passive components such as resistors and capacitors, along with more sophisticated components such as logic and memory. This could be used in photovoltaic panels, displays, and lighting, just to name a few. Printed, flexible electronics received some government and private funding, with many academic research groups exploring printable semiconductors for logic and photovoltaics. This was followed in the 2000s and 2010s by more private investment…
