Western Australia – March 30th 2021 - Strategic Elements Ltd (ASX:SOR) has achieved another milestone with its self-charging battery technology fabricated onto a flexible textile cloth and mechanically bent over 2000 times. Current battery technologies (alkaline, coin, lithium) are rigid and bulky and are not suitable for flexible electronics or in very small and thin devices. In early stage work the battery ink technology has shown strong potential to be highly flexible power source for electronics, capable of a very small 6 mm bending radius (e.g. smaller than average adult human finger).

Bending strain is one of the main movements that induces cracks on functional thin films leading to malfunction of flexible electronics. After 2000 bending cycles, the battery ink layer on the textile device was inspected and no visible cracks were present. Voltage output was measured for a two hour period prior to bending and for two hours after bending with minimal change in voltage occurring over the comparative periods....

DISC: I hold

Perth, Australia, 25th March 2020 – Strategic Elements Ltd (ASX:SOR) subsidiary Stealth Technologies has successfully demonstrated the potential of its automation & robotics platform (AxV) to be leveraged for the multi-billion dollar global agriculture sector.

Work with collaborators (1) the Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative and the University of Western Australia School of Agriculture and Environment has assisted the Company to achieve early stage validation. Further optimisation and engineering leading to an expanded technology demonstration across multiple potential end user reference sites is to be conducted.

Stealth has also filed patent protection covering a weed detection device, including the arrangement of sensors on a moving vehicle platform, algorithms, methods of weed detection, and software to process crop data from a moving vehicle to estimate locations of weeds.

SOR Turns Brain Inspired Hardware to Robotics

Strategic Elements Ltd (ASX:SOR) is pleased to report proof of concept work that highlights its printable neuromorphic technology’s1 potential for data processing and self-learning in soft robotics (e.g. touch sensing) and other signal processing applications such as computer vision applications.

Early stage results show that in the case of computer vision, the technology uses less power to operate than the human brain (less than 10 watts) and is able to use multiple resistance states with the potential capacity to process multiple points of data. The technology was successfully operated at an ultra-low level of 0.8V and in the microamps range of current.

Printable-Brain-Inspired-Computing-Hardware

December 30th 2020 - Strategic Elements Ltd (ASX:SOR) is pleased to report that testing has confirmed that the printable Nanocube Memory technology has potential as printable braininspired (neuromorphic) computing hardware. Work at the University of New South Wales confirmed that the Nanocube Memory structure and operation allows it to combine computing and memory in one place in a way similar to how biological neurons operate.
