After two years of development, the European Commission-funded project INNO4COV-19 (FKZ 101016203), which supported the commercialisation of new products to combat COVID-19 in Europe, has come to an end. The Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP (Dresden, Germany) developed, among other things, a prototype of a portable thermal camera system with integrated, low-power microdisplays for early and contactless detection of infected persons. This system will be presented at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, USA, 5-8 January, at the Fraunhofer FEP booth, No. 55822-3, German Pavilion, in the Venetian Expo Center.
LOPEC will be opening its doors at Messe München ICM from 28 February to 2 March 2023. The focus topic Mobility will be the common thread running through the world’s leading exhibition and conference for flexible, organic, and printed electronics.
For the development of next-generation, high-performance solar cells and modules, Meyer Burger Technology AG (Thun, Switzerland) has brought renowned partners on board and signed corresponding multi-year cooperation agreements. Together with CSEM from Switzerland, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB), the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg, and the Institute of Photovoltaics at the University of Stuttgart, the company is working on the industrialisation of perovskite tandem technology, which is expected to allow the industrial production of solar cells with efficiencies in excess of 30 percent in the future.
