It's not just the titular genius's brain that has been getting bigger as The Big Bang Theory spin-off Young Sheldon continues into its fourth season. Oh no, its cast list has been doing some growing of its own as of late, too.

According to TV Line, Two and a Half Men's Melanie Lynskey is set to be introduced as Sheldon's philosophy teacher Professor Ericson, in an episode that is scheduled to air on Thursday, February 11.

Asked whether they had "any scoop" on the popular comedy series as part of its latest Inside Line report, the publication also stated that Sheldon's first day of college will be "derailed" by the arrival of the new educator.

Created by Big Bang Theory bosses Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro, Young Sheldon acts as a prequel to the long-running original series. It centres on a younger version of Jim Parsons' pedantic scientist, who is fast-tracked through school after proving his hyper-intelligence.

  • Global Smart Label Materials Markets, 2017-2020 & 2021-2027 with 2020 as the Base Year

    Dublin, March 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Packaging and ICT Industry Convergence Propels Advancement of the Global Smart Label Materials Market" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The publisher estimates the global market for smart label materials at USD1,170.0 million in 2020, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% between 2020 and 2027 on account of increasing adoption from various industries. The global smart label materials market report analyzes the growth drivers, challenges, and trends that affect participants in this space. The study period is 2017 to 2027 using a base year of 2020 and a forecast period of 2021 to 2027. A smart label is a developed version of a label with extended functionalities, such as use of technology and sensors. Consumers are able to interact with smart labels by using mobile devices, such as a smartphone. The smart labels considered in this study include radio frequency identification (RFID) labels, electronic article surveillance (EAS), sensing labels, dynamic display, and quick response (QR) codes. These labels utilize the principles of near field communication (NFC) and have in-built sensors and chips for interaction with nearby devices. Increased demand for smart labels resulted from advancements made in digital printing technology and Industrial Internet of Thing (IIoT) components such as sensors, antennae, and chipsets. IoT has penetrated various industries during the last decade, and devices have become smarter and able to interact with each other by means of NFC. This advancement is expected to accelerate growth for smart label applications. The end industries covered in this research are healthcare and pharmaceuticals, automotive, logistics (including warehouse and transportation), retail, and others (recycling, food & beverage, manufacturing, and aerospace). The major materials used to manufacture a label include coatings, adhesives, substrates, and thermal inks. Demand for smart label materials is expected to be driven by adoption of smart labels in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. In the next few years, prices for smart labels will decrease, leading to increased use by micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and price-sensitive industries, such as food and beverages and plastic recycling. Of note, governments across the globe are focused on reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability and recyclability of materials used in day-to-day activities, which is expected to drive the adoption of certain raw materials for smart label manufacturing. For instance, solvent-based products are gradually being replaced by solvent-free or water-based products to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from labels. Key Issues Addressed What are the product chemistry and end-use application trends in the smart label materials market?What are the major challenges that participants in the smart label materials market face?What are the key factors that drive and restrict growth in this market?What are the major smart label end-industry applications?Who are the key market participants?What are the regional trends in the market?
