Even Greener Solar Power on the Way

For panels made of the most efficient – monocrystalline – cells, the corresponding reduction is 25 per cent. These objectives are to be reached via a wide range of technological measures.

Solar-cell “doctor” on the way
A further aim of the project is to develop a solar-cell “doctor”: a fully automated system capable of identifying defects in finished cells and repairing those that are capable of being rescued.
This is intended to ensure the best possible performance of panels once they have been installed on the premises of clients.

The project started in October 2015, and will continue for three years.

"We hope that the results of our work will be on the market within year two of the completion of the project,” says its coordinator, Martin Bellmann.

Below the Surface: What Engineers Find Challenging About High Frequency Signal Integrity

09/17/2026 | Chandra Gupta -- Column: Below the Surface
How do materials affect RF signal performance? It’s a fair question, and most will assume they already understand the answer. But this misunderstanding is exactly why so many high frequency designs underperform, require rework, or worse, fail in the field. Below the surface, where signal integrity is either preserved or destroyed, the truth is that at high frequencies, material selection matters, and that’s where most engineers get it wrong.

Global Sourcing Spotlight: Finding Your Greatest Sourcing Asset in Partnerships

09/16/2026 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing Spotlight
Something I’ve learned over time is that when supply is tight or a disruption hits, procurement teams can quickly determine which supplier relationships are working. A supplier that understands your business is more likely to call early about a material shortage, suggest an alternative, or find room in a crowded production schedule. That response has become increasingly valuable as tariffs shift, trade routes change, and materials fluctuate in cost and availability.
