A research team led by Switzerland's EPFL has sought to simplify TOPCon solar cell production by combining the two required high-temperature steps – front-side emitter formation and rear passivating ...

Researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Center Suisse d’Electronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM) in Switzerland developed a novel single-step thermal annealing process for ...

Today, fabricators processing prototypes or low-quantity jobs can print their own press brake tooling. They need to ensure a ...

The carbon-free annealing system operates solely on electricity by replacing the burners of conventional combustion-based ...

A hydrogen-based two-step annealing process improves SiC MOS device efficiency and reliability, expanding voltage range for electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. SiC power devices offer ...

The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

The art and science of quantum annealing to arrive at a best of all worlds answer to difficult questions has been well understood for years (even if implementing it as a computational device took time ...
