A new energy map for energetic losses

A new spectroscopic method now makes it possible to measure and visualise the energetic landscape inside solar cells based on organic materials. It was developed by a research team led by Prof. Dr Yana Vaynzof, a physicist at Heidelberg University. This novel visualisation technique enables scientists to study the physical principles of organic photovoltaics with Read more about A new energy map for energetic losses[…]

Neuromorphic device on the way to creating technology that mimics the human brain

A new transistor based on organic materials has been developed by scientists at Linköping University. It has the ability to learn, and is equipped with both short-term and long-term memory. The work is a major step on the way to creating technology that mimics the human brain. Until now, brains have been unique in being Read more about Neuromorphic device on the way to creating technology that mimics the human brain[…]

High conductive foils enabling large area lighting

Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP as one of the leading partners for research and development for surface technologies and organic electronics and Sefar AG, a leading manufacturer of precision fabrics from monofilaments developed a roll-to-roll processed large area flexible OLED during a joint project. Large area OLED lighting is Read more about High conductive foils enabling large area lighting[…]

Data glasses mirror information to the eye without interfering with the wearer‘s vision

Fraunhofer researchers have developed an energy-saving display that reduces the power consumption to a fraction. Via a small display, data glasses present the eye with information or images which are received using a radio link from the frame of the glasses. The big advantage: With the data glasses, the wearer’s hands are free – in Read more about Data glasses mirror information to the eye without interfering with the wearer‘s vision[…]
