Dr. Antonio Luque
|
|
An efficiency of 46 percent has recently been achieved with four-junction solar cells under a concentration on the cell of 508 times the normal solar power flux on the Earth’s surface. Such high efficiencies are the driving force for the development of the concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) technology.

FREE WEBINAR
Dr. Shaochen Chen
|
|
Femtosecond laser nanoprinting and projection 3-D bioprinting techniques allow the direct writing of 3-D designer scaffolds used for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. These 3-D biomaterials are functionalized with precise control of micro-architecture, mechanical, chemical and biological properties.

FEATURED VIDEO
New Scale Technologies – Developers Kit
New Scale Technologies demonstrates the developer’s kit for the M3-FS focus module, a miniature focus system for use in handheld and portable instruments. No larger than a fixed lens holder, the M3-FS moves M16x1 mm lenses with 0.5 micron resolution and high dynamic stability. It runs on battery power with integrated controller.
