LOPEC 2025 – Printed electronics and AI
Professor Luigi Occhipinti from the University of Cambridge will hold a talk at LOPEC 2025 in Munich. In his presentation, he will focus on sustainable wearable electronics. New materials as well as AI and efficient data processing are essential for that, as he emphasised in an interview ahead of the event. Professor Occhipinti, you are […]
Imec and partners show outdoor stability of perovskite PV modules
Imec, partner in EnergyVille, in collaboration with the University of Cyprus, has demonstrated the long-term outdoor stability of perovskite solar modules. Mini-modules of 4cm², developed at imec/EnergyVille, were comprehensively evaluated over two years in real-world conditions in Cyprus, with a remarkable power efficiency retention of 78 percent after one year, which current perovskite solar modules […]
Fraunhofer ISE – Towards next-generation tandem solar cells
Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells made of stable materials and manufactured using scalable production processes are the prerequisite for the next technological leap in the photovoltaic industry. Over the past five years, six Fraunhofer Institutes combined their expertise in the Fraunhofer lighthouse project “MaNiTU” to identify the most sustainable paths for the market launch of such […]
Fraunhofer IPMS collaborates with HOLOEYE Photonics AG
Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS, in collaboration with HOLOEYE Photonics AG, have developed a compact LCOS microdisplay with high refresh rates that enables improved optical modulation. LCOS microdisplays are characterised by their low power consumption, small size, and lightweight design. They are used in switchable adaptive optics, particularly as phase modulators, […]
