New research on “Reactive Plasmonics”, led by King’s College London and Imperial College London, is developing technologies to harness the large intrinsic thermal energy of light. Remarkably, “hot electrons” excited by light in metals achieve temperatures of many 1000°C, while the host metal remains near ambient conditions. This activates a range of opto-electronic and photo-chemical…
The UK fibre connectivity forum quarterly meeting will feature Q&A with Matt Warman MP - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Digital Infrastructure on the governments plan for delivering gigabit speeds, 5G and open RAN. The agenda also includes Welcome from the UKFCF chair-Askar Sheibani Darren Kilburn - Principal Consultant-Policy at FarrPoint "Net-zero targets are not…
The Trusted Research Campaign aims to raises the awareness of the possible security risks in international research collaborations and how to mitigate them. This webinar will discuss the impact of security risks and what it means for industry when embarking on research projects with a specific focus on Emerging and Enabling (Electronics Sensors and Photonics,…
The webinar will introduce the basics of OLED for lighting, discuss the choice for the right substrate and encapsulation material as well as the current status of roll-to-roll processing. Selected results from the LAOLA project will be presented. A special focus lies in the challenge to separate the lighting modules out from the roll by…
