As electronics simultaneously become smaller and more powerful, manufacturers are seeking ways to accelerate and scale the production of microelectronic devices. Now, TNO at Holst Centre offers acceleration at a speed with more than 1 million G-forces. The proprietary Impulse Printing technique addresses key manufacturing challenges, at a mere fraction of the cost.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have demonstrated a tin-lead perovskite cell that overcomes problems with stability and improves efficiency. The new cell, a tandem design with two layers of perovskites, measured a 25.5% efficiency.
