3. Perowskit-Workshop Baden-Wuerttemberg

Invitation to the 3rd Perovskite Workshop Baden-Württemberg. The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) together with the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW), the ipv from the University of Stuttgart, and the Solar Cluster BW cordially invite you to the 3rd Perovskite Workshop Baden-Württemberg on October 11, 2024. The one-day event will take place at KIT in the Tulla Lecture Hall (Building 11.40) from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Selected keynote lectures will present and discuss current topics of perovskite research in the plenary. This year, a poster session will also accompany the program. The workshop day focused on perovskite will be rounded off with a subsequent laboratory tour.

Portable Multispectral 3D Camera - Enabled by Inkjet Printing

Researchers from the Excellence Cluster 3DMM2O have used inkjet printing to create a compact multispectral version of a light field camera. The camera, which fits in the palm of the hand, could be useful for many applications including autonomous driving, classification of recycled materials and remote sensing.

Revolutionizing CPU Monitoring: 2D Temperature Sensor Arrays Printed Directly on Heat Sinks

Researchers at the Institute of Lighting Technology have succeeded in integrating a 2D temperature sensor array by printing it onto the heat sink of a processor. The array comprises 396 sensor pixels, enabling high spatial resolution and detailed representation of the processor's temperature distribution. Based on this information, the reliability and performance of computer systems can be further optimized. This form of monitoring also offers new possibilities in computer security. By fully integrating the sensor into the system, modifications to the system can be minimized.
