For the end of my IUT, I had to do an Internship.
I have to luck to join the team of the Lyon Nanotechnology Institute (INL). This laboratory study solar cells at an atomic level to improve the efficiency of solar cells.
My duty in the laboratory was to improve the performance of an automate manipulation.
A laser beam lit a very small part of a solar cell. We measure the electricity generate. Then we move the solar cell. After a long time, the cell have been lit, and then a computer is going to generate a map of the production of electricity of the solar cell.
The robot and the measure are done by a computer which used LabView 8.0.
