Our joint project with NASA opened the opportunity to invite Colombian school kids to visit the photovoltaics and biomaterials research facilities at the material science department of the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg. Continue

Baobing and Ning achieve highest certified efficiency of single junction 1 cm2 organic solar cells to date. Our cooperation with the team of Prof Yip and Prof Cao from SCUT achieved a new record in the performance of organic non-fullerene based single-junction solar cells. Using a series of complex optimisations, we achieved certified power conversion efficiency of 12.25 percent on a surface area measuring one square centimetre. Continue

Jose's project to train Colombian kids in the preparation of organic solar cells made a further major step. As already announced, the solar cells were selected for a near space flight on NASA´s Sift Test Flight mission on a long duration balloon and were launched August 24th from Fort Summer, New Me... Continue
