Even more fundamentally, the digital economy's infrastructure has advanced basic material science and classes of machine tools that have led directly to the new high-power electronics (enabling hybrids) and to big, cheap flat-panel, thin-film PVs (derived from the massive thin-film machines that make flat-panel-TVs).
The fiberglass hull glides on the surface, with solar panels to power its electronics and sealed boxes to protect data-gathering instruments.
It also produces custom analog and logic products, as well as chips used to manage power in portable devices like handheld electronics and power tools.

It is true that since the early sixties we have been able to grow our electronics power exponentially (doubling every 18 months).
FORBES: The Blurring Line Between Science And Science Fiction
In the late 1980s, the firm's main industrial businesses defence electronics, power generation, refrigerated transport, nuclear engineering and so on were technologically sound.
Strikingly, one tenth of the power that fuels our electronics is coming from Russian warheads through a program called Megatons to Megawatts.
How many times have you searched for a power outlet for your electronics, or asked a co-worker to borrow their cell phone charger?
The flat resting system features a manual release top-loading system, which will look to provide owners with a longer lifespan, since it relies on less electronics to power the loading and ejecting of discs.
Heico also sells electronics like electrical power supplies, infrared test equipment and high-speed systems to link digital cameras and high-resolution scanners to computers.
There's no word yet on whether there will be refined versions coming to real-world products, but we hope any developments arrive quickly enough to give stretchable electronics a viable power source.
Currently, the top five companies that account for a third of stock holdings, he says, are non-Hyundai blue chips SK Telecom, power utility KEPCO, Samsung Electronics, Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance, and steel giant POSCO.
