E.ON backs hybrid PV project at the University of Surrey
|
|
|
|
PARIS — E.ON AG, an energy corporation based in Dusseldorf, Germany, announced it has submitted a 1 million euro research grant to the Advanced Technology Institute at the University of Surrey, United Kingdom, to conduct an organic-inorganic hybrid photovoltaic project.
Led by Professor Ravi Silva, director of the Advanced Technology Institute, the three-year project will take advantage of the nanotechnological expertise of the Institute in the design, fabrication and characterization of the organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells.
Professor Silva said he and his group at the University of Surrey aim to improve organic material based solar cell technologies and move closer to commercialization, by incorporating inorganic nano-scale materials. Carbon nanotubes can be incorporated into organic cells to enhance their performance.
The University o f Surrey holds patents in developing hybrid systems for practical applications including solar cells and solid state lighting.

Startup rewrites NXP's legacy in 3D passive integration
Economic crises can have positive as well as negative impacts. Thus, if NXP had not divested its wireless business and decided to sell its integrated passives device unit near Caen, Normandy (France), Ipdia would not have emerged with an ambition to deliver next-generation 3D-SiP modules for various applications, including advanced LED modules.

Forte chute du marché français des puces en 2008
Le Syndicat des Industries de micro et nanotechnologies, plus communément appelé Sitelesc, présente un triste bilan pour l'année 2008. Le marché français des semi-conducteurs a chuté de 16,8%, de 2 722 millions d'euros de chiffre d'affaires en 2007 à 1 693 millions d'euros en 2008.

Choisir un processeur faible consommation adapté à votre projet de conception
Auparavant, pour concevoir un CPU faible consommation, il fallait faire des concessions sur les fonctionnalités, abaisser la fréquence d'horloge, ou encore attendre l'arrivée de nouvelles technologies permettant de réduire la consommation d'énergie nécessaire en mode veille comme en mode actif. Aujourd'hui, ce n'est plus le cas : le monde des processeurs a subi des transformations radicales.

Convergence power multi-corner multi-mode : une nouvelle dimension pour la conception des circuits intégrés
S'il est si délicat de franchir la limite des 65-nm pour produire des circuits intégrés, c'est parce qu'il est extrêmement difficile de gérer efficacement la consommation associée.
