ASCA and Epishine Sign Their First Licensing Agreement for Printed OPV

Epishine is partnering with ASCA to strengthen and further develop the world-wide OPV market. ASCA recently acquired the most relevant intellectual property portfolio on printed OPV and the companies have signed a licensing agreement to share it beginning of April. The contract will enable the Swedish-based manufacturer Epishine to further improve its organic indoor light energy harvesting solar modules.

New Super Material Could Battle Bullets, Deflect Space Debris

Engineers have created a nanofiber material that outperforms its widely used counterparts — including steel plates and Kevlar fabric — in protecting against high-speed projectile impacts. Basically, it's better than bulletproof.

Self Healing Perovskite Solar Cell

These solar cells have shown amazing humidity stability and self-healing behavior after 500 hours of operation, according to the researchers.

ARMOR (ASCA)

ASCA is a division of French company ARMOR that is developing organic photovoltaic panels. It recently announced a collaboration with nano-C to supply electron acceptor materials made from organic semiconductors.

Solar Panels of the Future; Technology and Aesthetics Combined

Marjan van Aubel Studio signed the colourful solar- paneled roof of the Netherlands pavilion. The skylights are made out of lightweight ASCA organic transparent solar cells (OPV), that are 100% recoverable and of non-toxic materials. By combining technology, aesthetics and sustainable materials, the studio has created the solar panels of the future.

Printed Electronics for Fashionable Wearables

Look around at any of the major fashion brands, and you start to see a pattern: there is not much there in the way of design-oriented, pro-science thinking. Those worlds have, unfortunately, remained separate for the most part. The general message that society is sending could not be any clearer: you can be beautiful, you can be smart, but you cannot be both.

Fabric has Potential Cooling Effect for Smartwatch Wearers

As smartwatches become more powerful, they will generate more heat. To prevent burns or rashes, what if a material touching the skin could feel as cool as metal, but also be flexible enough to be worn on the wrist?

Robust Artificial Tissue Mimics Lobster Underbelly's Stretch

Researchers have fabricated a hydrogel-based material that mimics the structure of the lobster's underbelly. The researchers ran the material through a battery of stretch and impact tests, and showed that, similar to the lobster underbelly, the synthetic material is remarkably "fatigue-resistant," able to withstand repeated stretches and strains without tearing.

ARMOR Solar Power Films Introduces True Gray Solar Film

ARMOR solar power films and Nano-C, Inc have expanded the color options for all types of product offerings including BIPV, achieving a true gray color sought after by architects and design professionals.

Powering Robots with Biomorphic Batteries

A new rechargeable zinc battery can provide much more energy and integrate into the structure of a robot like biological fat reserves store energy in animals. This approach to increasing capacity will be particularly important as robots shrink to the microscale and below—scales at which current stand-alone batteries are too big and inefficient.

Emerging Photovoltaics: Materials Opportunity in New $38Bn Market

The new IDTechEx report, "Materials Opportunities in Emerging Photovoltaics 2020-2040", is based on interviews by multi-lingual, PhD level IDTechEx analysts across the world and 20 years tracking the research and applications. They predict $38 billion dollars in 2040 without colliding with the silicon-in-glass "power station" business. There will be many opportunities for premium pricing of its new specialist materials.
