Microquanta Semiconductor

Microquanta Semiconductor is a Chinese company founded in 2015. It works on both perovskite thin film and perovskite on silicon tandem solar cell technology.

Fraunhofer LeTID Test Confirms Top Quality of IBC SOLAR Modules

The research institution examined the loss of power of the solar modules in the event of sustained strong incidence of light or high temperatures. All of the IBC SOLAR modules selected by Fraunhofer CSP are characterised by very low degradation and completed the test procedure with excellent results.

An International Standard for Measuring the Flatness of Graphene

Graphene is often portrayed as the ultimate conductor, thanks to its flexibility and to its excellent conductivity. However, research has shown that the electrical and the structural quality of graphene are intimately connected, and that nanoscale lattice deformations caused by surface corrugations limit the mobility of electrons in graphene.

Smart Devices Require Smarts

Medicine has relied on mechanical devices to help treat patients for decades. These devices have ranged in complexity from stents and shunts to dialysis machines and ventilators. As we settle into this age of data, the pressure to connect, control, instrument and analyze the operation of such devices and their impact on health has grown exponentially. After all, at a time when my watch can share heart rate and oxygen saturation, surely any physician-prescribed monitoring device should be able to provide relevant medical insight too?

Oizom

Oizom provide environmental and industrial gas monitoring products to create air quality or safety networks in cities, factories, campuses, and communities globally. They are primarily in India where the company is based but have a presence in 47 countries.

Easelink: EV Charging

Easelink develops automated conductive charging solutions for electric vehicles (EVs). It was founded in August 2016 by Hermann Stockinger and is headquartered in Graz, Austria and has 29 employees as of November 2021. Easelink closely collaborates with a diverse set of stakeholders that include OEMs, suppliers, and service providers. Furthermore, Easelink actively works on an international standardization process for automated conductive charging by participating in various standardization bodies for charging technology.

Tritium

Founded in 2001 by e-mobility pioneers, Tritium designs and manufactures proprietary hardware and software to create DC fast chargers for electric vehicles.

DIFT

DIFT is the Deutsche Institute für Textil und Faserforschung (German Institute for Textiles and Fabrics). IDTechEx caught up with staff scientist Dr Reinhold Schneider regarding their work on e-textiles.

Record Electricity Generation in Faroe Islands Tidal Energy Project

Minesto recently resumed operations with its tidal kite system DG100 in the company's project in the Faroe Islands, which Minesto is carrying out together with the electric utility company SEV. Following this spring's success with electricity production in Vestmannasund, Minestos has upgraded the DG100 system to increase production performance in terms of both maximum and average power.

EnOcean GmbH

EnOcean GmbH wireless systems use electrodynamic and photovoltaic harvesting for power without batteries, occasionally adding thermoelectric when needed.

Green Battery and Hot Reserve for the Israel Electric Company

Ellomay Pumped Storage Ltd has awarded AFRY with Owner's Engineering services for the Manara pumped storage power plant in Israel. The project will create a green battery and a hot reserve for the Israel Electric Company.

Most Marine Renewable Energy Produced in the United States

Verdant Power's grid-connected tidal power demonstration project in New York City has exceeded performance projections by every measure.

Setting Standards for New Materials

Silicon was first discovered in 1787, but it wasn't until the 1950s that it became widely used in industry. In contrast, the Graphene Flagship has been working to bring graphene to the market in just ten years. Determining accepted technical standards for graphene will play a large part in meeting that deadline.
