$6m seed funding advances TinFab perovskite production 📢🌟 Kentucky-based Perovskite manufacturer, Sofab Inks has raised $6m in seed funding. The round was led by strategic investor Cloudberry Ventures At the same time, the company, which was spun out of University of Louisville Conn Center for Renewable Energy, announced that its Tinfab is a comparable replacement for C60, the complex molecule used for adhesion. Perovskites are beginning to approach theoretical efficiency limits for a single solar panel technology, said Sofab Inks’ co-founder and CEO, Blake Martin. They have demonstrated really high efficiencies in a short period of time and compatibility with crystalline silicon and tandem architectures which he describes as being the beach head for industrial scale solar deployment. The material C60 is responsible for the bulk of the instability in perovskite modules, Martin told Electronics Weekly. “[It] is a complex molecule. It lacks the necessary binding sites to form strong adhesion between itself and the perovskite layer that it’s in direct contact with. Read the full story 👉 https://lnkd.in/epTpXwdX

Raspberry Pi goes big screen with 10-inch Touch Display 2 📢🌟 #RaspberryPi has expanded its range of multi-touch capacitive touch panes with a 10-inch Touch #Display2. You attach a Raspberry Pi to the rear of the display, via four M2.5 screws, and it is powered from the Pi’s GPIO, so a separate power supply is not needed. Note, however, the 10-inch Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 is only compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5 or Raspberry Pi Compute Modules (via a Raspberry Pi Compute Module IO Board or another compatible carrier board).
