TEAM IMAGINATION
Edda is shy.
She prefers to stay away from the camera. In our heads, however, this is basically Edda at work.
About Us
BEYOND THE LAB · NOT IN THE DATASHEET
Some things don't fit in a datasheet.
Experiments, installations, people, seasonal engineering and the small moments that make research human. This is our collection of CICCI lab humour, memories and creative detours.

THE COLLECTION
Research is serious. Researchers don't always have to be.
Not everything we build, test or imagine belongs in a technical manual. These are the unofficial footnotes: real lab moments, internal jokes and deliberately exaggerated versions of life around CICCI Research.
DEVICE ARCHITECTURE · CHRISTMAS ENGINEERING
Orientation is part of the experiment.
In photovoltaics, device architecture can be direct or inverted. Our Christmas tree took a less conventional approach: first sideways, then fully inverted. Same tree, very different configuration.
FROM THE LAB
The unofficial archive.
FIELD NOTES
The Installation Trio
Three people, one installation, one keyboard and several opinions. A classic CICCI field moment.
LAB ESSENTIALS
Branded Coffee Time
Some measurements need calibration. Some mornings need coffee. Branding both is the obvious engineering solution.
ALTERNATIVE HISTORY
Assembling an ARKEO Light Soaker
Rare historical footage of our team assembling an ARKEO Light Soaker. Date uncertain. Safety goggles apparently mandatory.
WINTER GAMES
ARKEO Winter Edition
ARKEO Liquid Cooling Stage ready for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
LAB PHILOSOPHY
Make Energy, Don't Make War
A simple message from the lab: use science to build, understand and improve — not to destroy.
SEASONAL TESTING
Merry Christmas
Even ARKEO gets a seasonal configuration. No additional measurement module required.
TECH SUPPORT
Call Me Bill
Before opening a support ticket: have you tried turning it off and on again? Some classics survive every software release.
