Oxford PV, a global pioneer in next-generation solar technology, has achieved a new world record in solar module efficiency. The 60-cell residential-size module, produced with the company’s perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cells, has achieved an unprecedented efficiency of 26.9%, surpassing the current best silicon modules ~25% with a similar designated module area. The breakthrough double-glass module, […]
Hand prostheses that restore tactile sensitivity to amputees. Sensors capable of detecting diseases prior to outbreaks. These applications could soon become part of conventional treatment thanks to microchips implanted in the body. At Fraunhofer IZM, the Technologies for Bioelectronics working group is busy developing ultra-thin biocompatible coatings for bioelectronics implants. The core aim is to […]
Graphene layers promise great progress and increased efficiency in solar applications, energy storage and smart glass applications due to their outstanding properties, including transparency, barrier effect and conductivity. The lack of scalable deposition processes with consistently high layer quality at cost-efficient throughputs has so far prevented the breakthrough of this promising material. As part of […]
TNO’s recent trip to South Korea and Japan highlights the mutual societal challenges and technological opportunities for the Netherlands and both allies in areas such as Smart Cities, Smart & Sustainable Mobility, and chip technology. TNO’s CEO Tjark Tjin-A-Tsoi reflects on the trip. “At TNO, too, we will increasingly think in terms of the entire […]
The Graphene Flagship is hosting a symposium from 11-12 June at the Town Hall Europe, Brussels, to celebrate the successes of its €20 million 2D Experimental Pilot Line (2D-EPL) project. Representing the first graphene foundry to integrate graphene and other 2D materials into semiconductor devices, the symposium will demonstrate the 2D-EPL’s progress in creating an […]
