Major Leap for Stable High-Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells

Solar cells manufactured from materials known as perovskites are catching up with the efficiency of traditional silicon-based solar cells. At the same time, they have advantages of low cost and short energy payback time. However, such solar cells have problems with stability - something that researchers have now managed to solve.

Bioengineered Cornea Can Restore Sight to Blind and Visually Impaired

Researchers and entrepreneurs have developed an implant made of collagen protein from pig's skin, which resembles the human cornea. In a pilot study, the implant restored vision to 20 people with diseased corneas, most of whom were blind prior to receiving the implant.

Building Artificial Nerve Cells

For the first time, researchers demonstrate an artificial organic neuron, a nerve cell, that can be integrated with a living plant and an artificial organic synapse. Both the neuron and the synapse are made from printed organic electrochemical transistors.

Microbots Could Heal Broken Bones

Inspired by the growth of bones in the skeleton, researchers have developed a combination of materials that can morph into various shapes before hardening. The material is initially soft, but later hardens through a bone development process that uses the same materials found in the skeleton.

Efficient Organic Solar Cells Ready for Outdoor Use

A small guest molecule in the right place makes it possible to produce energy-efficient organic solar cells using eco-friendly solvents. A record efficiency over 17% is demonstrated. In addition, solar cells with larger areas can be produced.

RISE/Linkoping University

Circuits made from organic electrochemical transistors have been produced in a collaboration between RISE and Linkoping University. These can be entirely screen printed and thus produced at a low cost. The aim is to commercialize them for wearable and smart packaging applications.

2020

Researchers Demonstrate First Organic Battery

Researchers have for the first time demonstrated an organic battery. It is of a type known as a "redox flow battery", with a large capacity that can be used to store energy from wind turbines and solar cells, and as a power bank for cars.

Ynvisible Expands Its Printed Electrochromics Offering

Ynvisible Interactive Inc has entered into a non-exclusive licensing agreement with RISE Research Institutes of Sweden. The license agreement covers RISE's intellectual property rights for printed electrochromic displays and related inks.

InviSense

InviSense have developed a thin moisture/humidity sensor based on an organic semiconductor. The product is targeted at remote monitoring of the space behind waterproofing layers.

Quantum Phenomenon Governs Organic Solar Cells

Researchers have discovered a quantum phenomenon that influences the formation of free charges in organic solar cells.

Creating Stretchable Thermoelectric Generators

For the first time, a soft and stretchable organic thermoelectric module has been created that can harvest energy from body heat. The breakthrough was enabled by a new composite material that may have widespread use in smart clothing, wearable electronics and electronic skin.

The Ink of the Future in Printed Electronics

A research group has created an organic material with superb conductivity that doesn't need to be doped. They have achieved this by mixing two polymers with different properties.

Artificial Intelligence Finds Disease-Related Genes

An artificial neural network can reveal patterns in huge amounts of gene expression data, and discover groups of disease-related genes. This has been shown by a new study. The scientists hope that the method can eventually be applied within precision medicine and individualised treatment.

Wood Based Batteries Created by Ligna Energy Printed at Ynvisible

Ynvisible Interactive Inc is pleased to announce the first industrial scale production of an innovative and groundbreaking energy storage technology developed by researchers at Linköping University and the company Ligna Energy AB. Ligna Energy's batteries are printed from residual material from the forest. The first industrial production run was carried out at Ynvisible Production in Linköping, Sweden.

2019

Large Integrated Circuits Produced in Printing Press

Researchers have shown for the first time that it is possible to print complete integrated circuits with more than 100 organic electrochemical transistors.

Bioelectronics to influence transpiration in plants

Research in the Electronic Plants group at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Campus Norrköping, follows two main avenues. In one, scientists incorporate electronic circuits into plants, such as roses, in a method of storing energy. In the other, they are seeking ways to influence plant functions with bioelectronic devices aiming, for example, to give plants greater resistance to environmental stress.
