Imec has successfully integrated silicon heterojunction PV cells into curved surfaces, resulting in a 6% efficiency increase compared to passivated emitter and rear contact (PERC) half cells.

Figure 1: Colloidal crystals on curved oil–glycerol interfaces. The topology of surfaces 21 places a constraint on the total defect charge—for example the net charge on a sphere must be 4π ...

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.

Researchers develop a 3D-printed, self-powered mechanoluminescent photonic skin for underwater communication. The auxetic ...

"Curved walls are intersected with sinuous ceiling ... a bizarre game of light and shadow," it added. A continuous floor surface of blue tiles throughout the home unites the interiors, while ...

A 3D shape with all straight edges and flat faces is a polyhedron. Other 3D shapes with least one curved surface are not polyhedra. A 3D shape with regular polygonal faces, meeting at equal angles ...

A new technique, however, lets such patterns be more easily applied to curved surfaces – and it uses "candy" to do the job. First of all, there already are a couple of methods of applying ...

Moment makes a few different models of adhesive-mounted AirTag cases to consider for this purpose: the Curved Surface Mount for AirTags, a flexible silicon case (left in photo above); and the Hard ...
