VON ARDENNE, a global leader in high-precision vacuum coating systems and co-developed materials solutions, today announced the expansion of its optical coating portfolio with SKYVA2000, a new vacuum coating system designed for large, curved optical mirrors up to 2 meters […]
Gallium oxide (Ga₂O₃) — especially in its most stable β phase — is attracting strong interest as an ultra-wide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductor with the potential to redefine power electronics beyond the limits of silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). […]
VON ARDENNE will unveil two major innovations in metallic bipolar plate coating from March 17 to 19, 2026, at the leading International Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Expo in Tokyo. The German PVD technology pioneer and equipment company will introduce its revolutionary […]
The TiSPA project – titanium substitution in PEMWE through alternative bipolar plates with innovative thin-film coating – has officially started. PEM water electrolysis bipolar plates currently rely on titanium and noble-metal components – materials that are a major cost driver. […]
VON ARDENNE, a global leader in precision coating systems and co-developed materials solutions, will introduce its new OPTA X300 deposition tool and the opening of ISO 5 and ISO 7 cleanrooms in Dresden, Germany. The company will unveil its new […]
We have often been asked whether linear vacuum thermal evaporation technology (VTE) is suitable for high-volume manufacturing in perovskite photovoltaics deposition technology. Our linear evaporation sources provide an answer to this question. In this article, we will focus on the […]
When J.J. Thomson first identified the electron as a particle of matter with a negative charge during his work with cathode rays at the University of Cambridge at the end of the 19th century, no one could have imagined that […]
VON ARDENNE has a long history in evaporation processes. We have provided thermal and electron beam evaporation equipment for many applications. Among them were optical, electronical and wear coatings and coatings for solar thermal energy applications. More than ten years […]
There are only a few providers of coating technologies for optical applications that can offer their customers solutions for the entire range of optical requirements. The VON ARDENNE Group is such a provider, as it bundles the expertise of its […]
The effective production, storage and utilization of hydrogen as an environmentally neutral fuel is a relevant factor in the process of decarbonization. Bipolar plates, one of the core components of PEM electrolyzers and fuel cells, play an important role here. […]
