Big congratulations to Dr. George Spyropoulos for finishing his PhD exam with a fantastic performance! Over the last 4 years George developed novel concepts for the production of multi-junction devices and most efficiently demonstrated the benefit of lamination in electronic device processing. Ge...

Our project Solar Factory of the Future (SFF) has again been visited by media. The tv station Franken Fernsehen and the newspaper Nürnberger Zeitung have taken a closer look into our labs.

Six FAU researchers are among the most highly cited in their subject. Among them is Prof. Dr. Christoph J. Brabec (Chair of Materials for Electronics and Energy Technology) in the field of material science. The list of the world’s most highly cited researchers is published by Clarivate Analytics (pr...

Cordial congratulations to Luca for finishing a fantastic PhD Thesis. Over the last 4 years Luca developed scalable and reliable production processes and took the MW pilot line of the Solarfactory of the Future at the ZAE (SFF@ZAE) into operation. Luca finished his thesis with the best possible gra...

Fantastic Job by Philipp and the Solar Factory's Inkjet Team! Their work on "Inkjet printing of highly conductive nanoparticle dispersions for organic electronics" won the best paper award at the IEEEs 12th MID conference. Congratulations to Philipp and the Solarfactory's Inkjet Team to this exce...

Excellent progress by Nicola in overcoming disorder induced recombination losses in organic solar cells! His recent insight into designing virtually loss free organic solar cells was just published by Nature Energy (Nature Energy http://www.nature.com/articles/nenergy2016118 https://www.fau.eu/2016...

Semiconductor research is currently rocked by the rapid advances in persovskite materials and perovskite devices. Also at i-MEET we started to in-depth explore the potential of pervoskite semiconductors and we were amazed by the potential of this novel class of electronic materials. Some of our ...

The Institute Materials for Electronics and Energy Technology (i-MEET) has established its own Youtube Channel. We have uploaded self-made videos as well as reports and interviews aired on public TV. The channel can be found here.

i-MEET's fifth year was rich and intense in results and work. Our first doctoral candidates in the field of printed photovoltaics graduated with excellent success. I want to explicitly congratulate Tobi Stubhan, Florian Machui, Ning Li, Derya Baran, Peter Kubis and Ivan Litzov to their great achieve...
