Breakthrough in PCSEL Optical Sensing Technology by Asahi Kasei Microdevices

TOKYO – April 9, 2026 – Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM), in collaboration with the Kyoto University Institute for Advanced Study, has successfully achieved laser oscillation in a 2 µm-band infrared photonic crystal surface-emitting laser (PCSEL). This milestone will enable the miniaturization of next-generation sensing systems while maintaining PCSEL“s high directionality and narrow spectral bandwidth. PCSEL technology, first developed in the early 2000s, was invented by a research team at Kyoto University led by Professor Susumu Noda. Compared to conventional lasers, it offers higher functionality in a compact device. In…

VAYU – The next generation of decentralized wind energy

How the Swiss wind turbine pioneer 3D Wind AG is setting new standards for sustainable self-sufficiency with innovative 3D rotor technology The Vayu wind turbine from the Swiss company 3D Wind AG represents a modern, future-oriented approach to decentralized energy generation. As a wind turbine pioneer, the company relies on an innovative, vertical-axis turbine concept with a three-dimensional rotor structure. Unlike conventional horizontal-axis large wind turbines, this system operates independently of wind direction and requires no active tracking. This results in a technically elegant solution that is particularly well-suited to…

Vayu from the Swiss wind turbine pioneer – a new approach to energy generation.

The Vayu system from the Swiss wind turbine pioneer differs fundamentally from conventional wind turbines in its technical design. „Terms such as ‚revolution‘ should be used with caution in an economic context so as not to devalue their meaning through overuse. In the case of Vayu’s 3D wind turbine, however, there are objective reasons for deliberately abandoning this caution,“ says the wind turbine pioneer from 3D Windrad AG. We are currently undergoing a profound transformation in energy policy. The share of renewable energies in electricity generation – particularly from hydro,…

The wind is blowing in a new direction: How the wind market is evolving and why Vayu could change it.

„Vayu“: A pioneer in wind turbines is rethinking wind energy. The wind market is undergoing a period of profound change. What once began with isolated wind turbines on hills and fields is now a global billion-dollar market and a cornerstone of the energy transition. All over the world, rotors are turning, bigger, taller, and more powerful than ever before. But while classic wind turbines continue to be optimized, a quiet but potentially revolutionary change is on the horizon-driven by new approaches, new technologies, and wind turbine pioneers who have the…

Swiss wind turbine pioneer and the dream of self-sufficient and environmentally friendly power supply with „Vayu“.

Living wherever one wants: with the 3D wind turbine „Vayu“, self-sufficient modern living is possible. Self-sufficient electricity for the household with the 3D wind turbine „Vayu“ was created by 3D Windrad AG, a wind turbine pioneer, out of a wish to no longer be satisfied with the limitations of the existing energy supply. The desire for independence grows where rising prices and ecological responsibility converge. The wind becomes a silent partner in everyday life, providing exactly the energy that modern homes need. At the heart of this vision is the…

Wind turbine pioneer presents „Vayu“ – revolutionary 3D wind turbine for a new generation of energy creation.

Wind turbine pioneer „Vayu“ offers solutions with advanced aerodynamics With Vayu, the visionary wind turbine pioneer, „3D Windrad AG,“ presents an innovative three-dimensional wind turbine that sets new standards in efficiency, environmental compatibility, and design. This novel energy system was developed to make wind energy usable even where conventional wind turbines have previously reached their technical, ecological, or societal limits. Unlike conventional two-dimensional wind turbines, Vayu utilizes three-dimensional movement, enabling it to efficiently capture wind from almost any direction. The system begins generating electricity at a minimum wind speed of…

EEGs for anyone, anywhere

StartUp Stories – Dr. Johannes Lang and Prof. Justus Marquetand – founders of Cerebri GmbH (Stuttgart/Tübingen) – Neurologists Prof. Justus Marquetand and Dr. Johannes Lang set up Cerebri GmbH in Tübingen, with the aim of making specialist electroencephalograms (EEGs) available to all patients. An EEG is an important test that is used for differential diagnosis in cases of unexplained impaired consciousness, epilepsy and dementia, for example. However, specialist expertise and a great deal of experience are needed to interpret the EEG waveforms that map brain activity – and small hospitals…
