High Efficiency Meets Sustainability

Fraunhofer Lighthouse Project Shows Way for Next-Generation Tandem Solar Cells. The development of perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells made of stable materials and manufactured using scalable production processes is the basis…

For high power or the high seas

Innovative sensor designs made possible by glass-integrated waveguides. Waveguides, integrated in glass, have the potential to significantly boost the measuring accuracy of sensors in science and industry. In the “3DGlassGuard“…

Fusion with a twist: Improving stellarators

Researchers at DOE’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory are using computers to improve the effectiveness of fusion devices called stellarators. Plasma many times hotter than the surface of the sun swirls…

Improving Safety in the Open Air

TU Graz Evaluates Lightning Risk in Real Time. Airport aprons, large construction sites or open-air events are usually defenceless against lightning. To increase safety and reduce downtimes, electrical engineers at…

Biohydrogen from Wood Waste

Up to now, wood waste has had to be disposed of at great expense and, at best, has been used to generate energy in incineration plants. Fraunhofer researchers are now…

Brighter and more efficient LEDs that don’t droop

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are everywhere in modern life, from smartphones to home lighting. But today’s LEDs have a major limitation: when you try to make them brighter by increasing their…
