“Resembling miniature scrolls, the nanotubes could prove useful as catalysts, guided laser cavities and nanorobots,” said Sahraoui Chaieb, a professor of mechanical and industrial engineering at ...

A four-year analysis conducted at a testing field in eastern Poland has shown that crystalline solar panels offer a stronger performance than thin-film panels at high latitudes. The tests revealed ...

Lateral crystallization of silicon thin films has emerged as a promising technique for the fabrication of state‐of‐the‐art transistor devices. This method promotes the growth of highly oriented ...

The Game-Changing Technology Combines Low-Loss Crystal Material and Engineered Films to Create the Industry’s First Wafer with Ultra-Flat Properties VANTAA, Finland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Okmetic, the ...

What are Thin-Film Transistors and How do They Operate? Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are a kind of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) made by covering an insulating substrate ...

In previous studies of thin film wrinkling on soft substrates, the mechanics models usually assume plane-strain deformation, which was found to disagree with experimental observations for narrow thin ...

Solar cells are one of the most important technologies in the transition to renewable energy, but there’s still plenty of room for improvement. Researchers at New York University (NYU) Tandon have now ...

The thin film photovoltaics market is forecast to grow to US$6.1 billion in 2033 The future of solar technology extends far beyond silicon, with numerous alternative materials that belong to a certain ...

Swiss photonics startup Lightium AG wants to help data center operators reduce their energy consumption while increasing performance after closing on a $7 million seed funding round. Today’s round was ...

A recent study published in Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research examined the fabrication of nanoporous helium-silicon thin films using a plasma-assisted co-deposition process, offering a novel ...

Typically, when solar panels are evaluated, traditional metrics like efficiency, cost, levelized cost of electricity, and reliability are used as major benchmarks. As the global economy shifts to ...
