Nanostructuring technologies energy efficient & ultra-small displays

University of Michigan scientists using AFOSR-funding have created the smallest pixels available that will enable LED, projected and wearable displays to be more energy efficient with more light manipulation possible and all on a display that may eventually be as small as a postage stamp.

Mimicking nature, water-based 'artificial leaf' produces electricity

A team led by a North Carolina State University researcher has shown that water-gel-based solar devices - "artificial leaves" - can act like solar cells to produce electricity.

DARPA invests $89 million in Boeing's Solar Eagle

Boeing has announced that it has won $89 million in funding from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) who has selected a concept developed by the Boeing Company for the second phase of the Vulture long-endurance unmanned aerial system (UAS) program.

Electrofluidics breakthrough could see e-readers with videos in color

UC electrofluidics breakthrough could change the display technology used in a myriad of electronic devices. e-Readers like the Amazon Kindle may be able to display color and video.

GE to develop new bio-inspired sensor

Replicating nanostructures from the wings of Morpho butterflies, GE's sensors would enable highly selective, near-instantaneous detection of chemical threats GE's sensing platform could create other industrial and healthcare applications, including emissions monitoring at power plants, water purification and food safety testing and breath analysis for disease detection

Breakthrough in industrial-scale nanotube processing

Rice University scientists have unveiled a method for the industrial-scale processing of pure carbon-nanotube fibers that could lead to revolutionary advances in materials science, power distribution and nanoelectronics.

Flexible CIGS photovoltaics increases capability

Copper indium gallium diselenide CIGS is the favourite formulation in the CIS copper indium diselenide family of photovoltaic devices.

'Conductive ink' solar panels capture sun power for soldiers

Scientists developed a ready-to-use, cost-reducing technology that can capture sunlight and store it as energy to power Global Positioning System components, portable communications, and other devices for U.S. soldiers.

Highlights from the FlexTech Workshop at Clemson University

Flextech (formerly the U.S. Display Consortium, USDC) is an organization whose members include companies involved in all aspects of printed, flexible and organic electronics.

CIGS: Almost, but not quite there yet

IDTechEx believes that the amount of venture capital investment along with the intensified work for the transition from lab scale to high-volume production is going to make CIGS a technology that will be taking up a large chunk of orders and will be dominant in the photovoltaic market.
