Traditional absorbers in thin film-based solar cells may have some competition in a new technique that incorporates nontoxic and relatively common elements. The new approach, developed by a team from the University of Nantes, uses sulfide materials that contain copper, tin and zinc as solar cell absorbers. This could result in technology that is more sustainable than rare, precious metals.

The Benefits of Modern CMOS Sensors in Industrial Line Scan Cameras
Basler AG
As sensor technology has improved in leaps and bounds, the old rule of thumb familiar to many line scan camera users has lost much of its punch. The idea that CCD = high image quality while CMOS = speed is only true anymore under very limited circumstances, since the preconception inaccurately reflects the current performance levels offered by modern CMOS sensors for industrial camera use. This white paper provides an overview of the latest developments in CMOS sensor technology and is intended to highlight the importance of these improvements when considering the use of CMOS sensors in line scan camera applications.
