Carbon's new champion

Carbyne will be the strongest of a new class of microscopic materials if and when anyone can make it in bulk.

Printed Electronics in Korea

IDTechEx recently visited Korea to learn more about the progress with Printed Electronics there - find out more.

Progress with flexible photovoltaics

In the last six months, IDTechEx has finally obtained working samples of many types of flexible photovoltaics - amorphous silicon, dye sensitised solar cells, copper indium gallium diselenide and organic.

Thin film photovoltaics focus: Photovoltaics Europe 2010 Germany

With a multitude of topics covered in the different conference tracks, the photovoltaics sessions attracted significant amount of interest. The main reason is the growth of photovoltaics technologies and thin film platforms in specific, but also the interest of a large number of solar cell developers in discovering new applications, other than rooftop and solar farm installations which have, by now, become highly competitive.
