Airborne Laser Scanning Keeps Nature Areas Protected
Jun 12, 2015 — Europe’s nature protection areas – part of a comprehensive ecological network called Natura 2000 – cover almost one-fifth of the European Union. Such areas must be regularly monitored and evaluated to ensure preservation of natural...
MEMS-Based QCL Spectrometer Aims at Hazardous Materials Detection
DRESDEN, Germany, Jan. 22, 2015 — A new MEMS-based spectrometer that operates in the mid-infrared could form the basis of a handheld system for detecting hazardous materials. Developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS), the device incorporates a 5-mm...
Glass Lends Flexibility to Organic PVs
POTSDAM, Germany, July 10, 2014 — A new carrier substrate made from flexible, 100-µm-thin layers of glass better protects organic solar modules and could simplify their manufacture. A team from the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research is developing methods for...
UV Takes Water Treatment Chemical-Free
STUTTGART, Germany, May 2, 2014 — A new UV process quickly breaks down pollutants in wastewater without help from chemical catalysts. The system uses 172-nm light to trigger photolysis, splitting H2O molecules into highly reactive hydroxyl radicals. “These hydroxyl compounds...
Elusive Solar Light-Trapping Limit Nearly Reached
DELFT, Netherlands, Feb. 27, 2014 — The theoretical limit of light-trapping in solar cells has eluded researchers for decades. But a group from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) has come closer to it than anyone else. The researchers, members of TU Delft’s Photovoltaic...
Ultrathin PV Device is Highly Efficient
VALENCIA, Spain, & LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Dec. 30, 2013 — A thin film of perovskite sandwiched between two very thin organic semiconductors makes for a photovoltaic device with high power conversion efficiency, researchers have discovered. The thin-film photovoltaic device. A group led by Hendrik Bolink of...
Water stream makes better pollution detector
Dec 1, 2013 — A new microfluidic sensor uses unconfined streams of water to test for dangerous chemicals and bacteria in liquid simply and cheaply. The pollutant detector was developed in Italy within the framework of the research project ACQUASENSE, and it...
Color is the new black for solar cells
Sep 1, 2013 — Design is sometimes more style than substance, but solar cell manufacturers cannot afford to lose efficiency just to make solar arrays more stylish. Covering a roof or a façade with standard black or bluish-gray solar cells to generate...
Supercheap hydrogen recipe: Sunlight + water + rust
Mar 1, 2013 — Water and rust can team up to produce hydrogen from sunlight supereconomically, a group at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland has found. Researchers have been pursuing the conversion of solar energy...
Laser probes pollution particles
Sep 1, 2012 — X-rays from the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) are providing the most detailed images to date of airborne soot particles, an investigation that will have important implications for climate modeling and human health. Aerosol particles such...
Project to boost photovoltaics in the EU
Sep 1, 2012 — The Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) has launched a €10 million (about $12.2 million) European Union-funded project to develop affordable, more efficient solar cells. Thin-film solar cell technologies have...
Laser “unprinter” vaporizes toner
Jun 1, 2012 — A laser device that vaporizes photocopied ink from paper soon could be in offices worldwide. The laser “unprinter,” developed by engineers at the University of Cambridge in the UK, removes toner from scraps of paper without damaging them...
Lasers sought to map jet emissions
Mar 1, 2012 — Travelers concerned about the carbon footprint – or carbon trail, if you will – left behind by airplanes might be happy to hear about a British endeavor in which lasers could lead to greener jet engines. The project, called FLITES...
New Approaches Could Make Solar a Better Business
Oct 1, 2011 — Advances in laser drilling, coatings and polygon scanner technology promise to speed up photovoltaic panel production – and drive down costs, too. The closer you get to Germany by plane, the more the country seems to glitter. Shiny solar...
Could “floatovoltaics” solve the land space debate?
May 1, 2011 — Finding room for large arrays of solar panels is not always easy, especially in industrial or agricultural areas. But for Yossi Fisher, CEO of Solaris Synergy in Jerusalem, there is an obvious solution: leveraging untapped water surfaces to deploy...
University solar farm is live PV test bed
SHEFFIELD, UK – This year’s summer solstice marked the launch of a solar farm project that will provide benchmark, real-world testing of photovoltaics (PVs) in northerly latitudes such as the UK. The Sheffield Solar Farm, a 70-m2 state-of-the-art installation...
Agriculture goes greener with imaging
WAGENINGEN, Netherlands – Machine vision technologies can help improve food production right at its roots by helping farmers identify and kill weeds in their fields. Researchers at Wageningen University have developed a system that automatically does just that; such a system...
Solar energy receives a boost from UK government
SOUTHAMPTON, UK – The feed-in tariffs for renewable energy recently introduced by the government heightened interest at the sixth Photovoltaic Science Application and Technology Conference (PVSAT-6), hosted by the University of Southampton’s School of...
Improving solar module manufacturing with imaging
GROßRÖHRSDORF, Germany – In-line metrology systems developed by industrial vision specialist Basler Vision Technologies have been integrated into the production line of solar module manufacturer Sunfilm AG at its Großröhrsdorf plant near Dresden. The company is...
Spectroscopy detects toxins in veggies
LYON, France – For as long as picky eaters have resorted to hiding vegetables or feeding them to the dog under the table, they also have sought excuses not to eat them. But “They’re icky” doesn’t...
Villa Solar Set for June in Madrid
Dec 2, 2009 — At a time when several European countries are proposing cuts to feed-in tariffs, known in the past as a great motivator for the solar industry, cutting-edge research and innovation in sustainable development and renewable energy are ramping up for a...
