JA Solar’s Bycium+ cell has achieved a significant breakthrough, reaching a new high in cell efficiency and setting a new record with an open-circuit voltage of 748.6mV – the highest in the commercial ...

Bootstrap circuits are widely used in dc-dc converters to serve as top-side bias voltage supplies. After explaining how bootstrap circuits work, this article will show how versatile they can be. One ...

Danish researchers have built a selenium solar cell with the highest open-circuit voltage ever reported. They said that with further improvements in the optoelectronic quality of selenium, the device ...

Scientists at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have demonstrated a triple-junction solar cell with a perovskite-perovskite-silicon subcell configuration. They said the cell ...

Over the past half-century, scientists have shaved silicon films down to just a wisp of atoms in pursuit of smaller, faster electronics. For the next set of breakthroughs, though, they’ll need novel ...

In neocortical circuits, repetitively active neurons evoke unitary postsynaptic potentials (PSPs) whose peak amplitudes either increase (facilitate) or decrease (depress) progressively. To examine the ...

Battery cell open circuit voltage (OCV) is an important measurement made on the cell during manufacturing to determine cell performance quickly and reliably. Download our application note to learn why ...

Biologists have created a protein unlike any found in nature, with the power to toggle a cell’s functions on and off. The scientists linked the artificial proteins together into circuits and ...
