Picosun Oy teams up with several prominent European nanotechnology companies and research institutes to develop novel, graphene-based solutions for display manufacturing, flexible electronics, and electronic component industries.

Thin Film Electronics ASA has announced that it has completed acquisition of Kovio technology, intellectual property, and manufacturing assets, and has opened the Thinfilm NFC Innovation Center in the heart of Silicon Valley.

The 63 ENIAC Joint Undertaking projects arising from 9 open and competitive calls for R&D proposals in nanoelectronics reach a total of 2.86 billion euro in eligible costs.

A team of scientists and engineers has demonstrated a new type of battery that could fundamentally transform the way electricity is stored on the grid, making power from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar far more economical and reliable.

This article examines thin film photovoltaics as an addressable market segment for transparent conductive films. IDTechEx Research first gives a general overview of the photovoltaic market, including historic price evolution and also a representative list of bankruptcies, closures, acquisitions and restructuring that took place in the past four years. IDTechEx Research then forecasts the total addressable market for transparent conductive sheets (on glass or otherwise) in areal coverage and monetary value. The market is then appropriately segmented into rigid vs flexible, and also ITO vs non-ITO oxide categories, thereby defining the segments addressable by ITO alternatives such as silver nanowires, metal mesh, graphene, etc

The developed program allows numerical simulation, with the use of a commercial personal computer, of the shapes of ink droplet placed on a flat substrate surface that includes discontinuous boundaries between hydrophilic and hydrophobic areas, whereas such a simulation has been difficult so far.

The 2014 Consumer Electronics Show finished a few days ago with an overload of media coverage and company press releases. Now that the dust has settled, we take a look back at some of the announcements that were made during the show and what they mean for Printed Electronics.

Printed electronics developer Plextronics Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last week and has entered into an acquisition agreement with Solvay America as a "stalking horse" bidder.

Researchers are developing electronic components that are thinner and more flexible than before.

Teams collaborate to make thin, transparent semiconductors that could become the foundation for cheap, high-performance displays.

Scientists grew sheets of an exotic material in a single atomic layer and measured its electronic structure for the first time.
