Each year, Clarivate identifies the world’s most influential researchers ─ the select few who have been most frequently cited by their peers over the last decade

As always in December we have our annual Next Generation Solar Energy conference. This time it will take place in both digital and live-meetings format. Current trends in the PV technology will be discussed at the tutorials and hot topics sessions. You can find out more at the conference homepage.

The EU-funded project BOOSTER (“Boost Of Organic Solar Technology for European Radiance”) has successfully kicked off. The project has a duration of four years and involves ten academic and industrial partners from eight different countries. Its aim is the development of organic photovoltaic module...

Sciprios is a spin-off from FAU, which provides R&D equipment for printed opto-electronics, especially in the field of photovoltaics (PV).The goal of the project is the development of an inline laser system for the monolithic interconnection of organic and perovskite PV modules which enables ge...

10 years of research in perovskites semiconductors have provided great insight into the crystallization dynamics of halide based perovskites. Different to their oxide or chalcogenide sisters and brothers, halide perovskites offer a high crystallization enthalpy at very moderate temperatures, requir...
