Researchers from the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have developed heat-shrinkable polymers that can be used to laminate organic photovoltaic devices onto curved surfaces. They said ...

IEA-PVPS has conceived a new test method and analysis of the impact of curvature in vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (VIPV) surfaces. Over the course of an 8-day summertime trial in south-eastern ...

Stretchable elastomer paints form conductive and insulating layers directly on curved surfaces, enabling multilayer soft electronics for sensing and energy harvesting without transfers or specialized ...

While the field of printable electronics holds a great deal of promise, the printing of circuits onto curved surfaces is still very challenging. A new technique greatly simplifies the process of doing ...

The energy and transportation sector often make use of different kinds of fluid machinery, including pumps, turbines, and aircraft engines, all of which entail a high carbon footprint. This result ...

Wire-cut 3D curved surfaces mimic minimal surfaces which cover space with least material and are also stronger. Large areas can be covered with less material. Conservation of planetary resources is ...

Inefficient fluid machinery used in the energy and transportation sector are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting global warming. To improve efficiency, it is necessary to ...

Homeowners can be hesitant about the possibility of tiling curved surfaces, especially for the shower. However, adding tiles is not just a matter of aesthetics; it also increases the ease of ...
