Compact laser scanner with 90 percent less construction volume

Galvanometer scanners have been in use in laser material processing for decades. However, a team from the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT has now developed a new, particularly compact…

Accurately Determine Efficiency of Perovskite-Silicon Tandem PV Modules

To pave the way for the industrial implementation of highly efficient perovskite-silicon PV modules, the tandem solar cells and modules must be reliably measured. Only then is it possible to…

DBFZ scientists develop mini cookstove for Africa

Small, clean, efficient and affordable: Deforestation in African regions and many other parts of the world is increasing rapidly. The reasons for this are growing population and the increased use…

Driving on sunshine: clean, usable liquid fuels made from solar power

Researchers have developed a solar-powered technology that converts carbon dioxide and water into liquid fuels that can be added directly to a car’s engine as drop-in fuel.   The researchers,…

Safe PV Systems: Fraunhofer ISE Tests Arc Fault Detectors

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE has developed a unique modular test stand for photovoltaic inverters with integrated arc fault detection. These integrated warning systems in inverters increase…

HotSense – new thin-film measurement techniques for high-vacuum and high-temperature processes

In cooperation with SURAGUS GmbH, the Fraunhofer FEP has succeeded in realizing non-contact in-situ measurements under high vacuum conditions at temperatures of up to 220°C within the HotSense project (grant…
