In general, solar PV deposited on glass is significantly more efficient than thin film, but this is the price you pay for off-world deployments. Paul Warley, CEO of Colorado-based Ascent Solar, told ...
Under the threat of climate change and geopolitical tensions related to fossil fuels, the world faces an urgent need to find ...
Semiconductor devices are becoming thinner and more complex, making thin deposited films even harder to measure and control. With 3nm node devices in production and 2nm nodes ramping toward ...
Thin film dewetting dynamics refer to the processes by which continuous thin layers of material destabilise and retract to form isolated droplets or patterned structures. This phenomenon, governed by ...
Silicon-free tandem solar cells are a topic of research for commercial, academic, and institutional labs in the United States. Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable ...
Thin film deposition is crucial across industries like semiconductors, photovoltaics, and optics, where achieving high-quality films hinges on effective surface preparation. Contaminants such as ...
High-temperature thin film strain gauges have emerged as indispensable tools in monitoring the mechanical integrity of critical components operating under extreme thermal conditions. Through the ...
