From Microchips to Holograms – the Perfect Light Modulation
Fraunhofer IPMS develops photonic microsystems that modulate light using small, controllable mirrors to create unique images and structures. These so-called spatial light modulators (SLM) are micromirror arrays with up to…
Cheap and efficient catalyst could boost renewable energy storage
Storing renewable energy as hydrogen could soon become much easier thanks to a new catalyst based on single atoms of platinum. The new catalyst, designed by researchers at City University…
Novel organic light-emitting diode with ultralow turn-on voltage for blue emission
An upconversion organic light-emitting diode (OLED) based on a typical blue-fluorescence emitter achieves emission at an ultralow turn-on voltage of 1.47 V, as demonstrated by researchers from Tokyo Tech. Their…
Charging ahead
New electrolyte goes extra mile for faster EV charging. Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers are taking fast charging for electric vehicles, or EVs, to new extremes. A team of battery…
Flexibilisation of electricity demand
New funding phase of the Kopernikus project SynErgie at University of Bayreuth. By 2035, the electricity generated in Germany is to come entirely from renewable sources. However, an electricity supply…
When heat turns into electricity at 1000 °C.
Thermophotovoltaics: Researchers develop new resistant emitter based on iridium. Together with the Technical University of Hamburg and Aalborg University, researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon have developed a new selective emitter…
