The best of both worlds
IRIS Scientists develop hybrid systems for optics and electronics:
What are the advanced materials supposed to have that the electronics of the future so desperately needs? “More speed, more brightness, more performance – and above all more multifunctionality,” replied Jürgen Rabe,…
Of movers, makers, and mentors
“Advanced Material Competition” – an international competition for startups specialising in high tech products:
LEDs, or light emitting diodes, that are so thin that they can be applied to paper and packaging supply the light for prints and slogans. These and other new products are based on research into new materials. With a…
Building jointly
Developing the materials of the future needs interdisciplinary research:
The industrial production of photovoltaic cells or LEDs requires temperatures as high as 1600 degrees Celsius. If these temperatures were lower, manufacture might be conceived for flexible applications over wide…
