Discover how researchers are using fungi-derived pigments like Xylindein and slot-die coating to develop sustainable, biodegradable organic solar cells.

The LUMINOSITY project is pushing the boundaries of photovoltaic (PV) technology. This ambitious Horizon Europe-funded initiative aims to develop metal halide perovskite solar modules with over 20% efficiency and a lifespan of 20 years.

The global Internet-of-Things (IoT) market is poised for exponential growth, with projections soaring from €444.10 billion in 2022 to €2288.68 billion by 2029. This represents a staggering compound annual growth rate of 26.4% over the forecast period. The applications of IoT devices span across a multitude of sectors, including smart grids, cities, homes, self-driven cars, wearable electronics, and more. However, powering these devices with conventional batteries presents challenges such as heaviness, rigidity, limited lifespan, and the use of toxic and scarce materials.
