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, […]
Holst Centre highlights impact of BLE on IoT solutions
As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand, the need for efficient and reliable wireless communication has become more critical than ever. At the heart of this connectivity revolution is Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Originally developed as an extension of traditional Bluetooth, BLE is specifically designed to support the needs of low-power, battery-operated devices, […]
New CSIRO facility takes flexible solar tech from lab to real world
Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, has opened a $6.8 million facility in Clayton, Victoria, dedicated to taking its printed flexible solar technology out of the lab and into the real world, to help meet the growing demand for renewable energy across sectors. Unlike traditional silicon solar panels, CSIRO’s flexible solar cells are printed on thin […]
Fraunhofer IPMS and BASF – Improved microchip interconnections
More power, more energy-efficiency, more complexity – manufacturers of modern microchips are constantly facing new challenges, also regarding the electrical connections required. Fraunhofer IPMS and BASF have been working together on this problem for ten years. The teams have pooled their infrastructure and expertise and thus have made it possible to evaluate chemicals, processes and […]
