Editorial by Pere Roca i Cabarrocas, IPVF Scientific Director. Perovskites and much more at the IPVF Scientific Day With the launching of the STaFF project, which aims at scaling up perovskite mini-modules currently produced at IPVF on 10×10 cm2 substrates up to 30×60 cm2 in a new prototyping line, perovskites were the topic to address in the morning session of the IPVF scientific day. The program – put together by the scientific committee members –

🙌 We extend our warmest congratulations to Daniel Lincot, former Scientific Director of the Photovoltaic Institute of Ile-de-France (IPVF), first French winner of the prestigious Vittorio de Nora prize from ECS – The Electrochemical Society. 👉 This award recognizes an exceptional contribution to engineering and technology oriented towards the use of electrochemical phenomena and processes. 👏 Congratulations dear Daniel! Daniel Lincot declares: “This prize also rewards all those without whom nothing

Researchers have shown that a self-powered AI system using solar energy can be made from memristors, the operation of which is ensured even in the event of low energy input. Here is a rewording of the text: Artificial intelligence (AI) is commonly used in various embedded systems such as patient monitoring. However, processing data directly in these systems is preferable to save energy and ensure security. Unfortunately, the high consumption
