Humanitarian programme in conflict-free DRC mining community
KEMET has announced that its Partnership for Social and Economic Sustainability (the “KEMET Partnership”) is making a substantial humanitarian impact in Kisengo, a conflict-free tantalum mining region in the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo). KEMET has made contributions to the KEMET Partnership for projects such as a school, medical clinic, fresh water wells, solar street lighting, as well as road and bridge repairs.
First phase of HeliaFilm PV installation completed in Singapore
The first phase of Heliatek's pilot project in Singapore has been successfully completed. 30m2 of Heliafilm with an average cell efficiency of 7% have been installed within a few hours on the Seletar walkway. HeliaFilm is fitting on the walkway roof perfectly despite its uneven-shaped aluminium top structure.
Solar fuel generating device sets record
Researchers at Monash University have designed a solar fuel generating device that has established arecord in energy efficiency for the production of solar fuels. The device can produce hydrogen fuel at 22% energy efficiency, breaking the previous record of 18%. Lead researcher Professor Leone Spiccia, School of Chemistry, Monash explained that the process of hydrolysis generates hydrogen and oxygen by passing an electric current through water.
Quantum dot technology may help light the future
Advances at Oregon State University in manufacturing technology for quantum dots may soon lead to the next generation of LED lighting that produces a more user-friendly white light, while using fewertoxic materials and low-cost manufacturing processes that take advantage of simple microwave heating.
Reliable cellular modules ensure fire system integrity
Romteck Australia has announced a collaboration with u-blox in order to upgrade its product portfolio, including the company'sflagship product, Romteck ASE. Designed to overcome the shortcomings of more traditional fire alarm systems, it constantly monitors tens of thousands of building alarms and centralises these at a fire alarm monitoring center that then relays confirmed fire alarm information to the relevant fire and rescue services.
Salt spray resistance for hermetic glass-to-metal sealed housings
SCHOTT has now developed a special coating through which the industry’s salt spray requirements for hybrid housings can be exceeded. The coating protects glass-to-metal seals against corrosion, even after 24 hour salt spray tests. This improves the reliability of hermetic packages, especially for applications in extremely harsh environments, such as aerospace projects.
