I just have to share these quotes of Wolfgang Pauli:
One shouldn’t work on semiconductors, that is a filthy mess; who knows if they really exist!
God created the solids, the devil their surfaces.
I don’t mind your thinking slowly; I mind your publishing faster than you think.
This isn’t right. It’s not even wrong.
Excellent… and certainly applicable to the fields of organic solar cells and disordered semiconductors ;-)
Yesterday, a new report on the future prospects of the organic photovoltaics business was presented by the analyst firm Nanomarkets. It is said to include a roadmap for improvements in organic solar cell lifetimes and efficiencies, as well as forecast of volume and price of relevant materials over the course of eight years.
I cannot comment on the analysts’ expertise, although they are specialised on market research for organic and printable electronics – which has pros (they know what they are talking about) and cons (they might be pretty subjective), I reckon;-) See their press release here. All in all, a promising future is just what we need:-)
