Perfecting a solar cell by adding imperfections
Nanotechnology is paving the way toward improved solar cells. New research shows that a film of carbon nanotubes may be able to replace two of the layers normally used in a solar cell, with improved performance at a lower cost. Researchers have found a surprising way to give the nanotubes the properties they need: add defects. view more (2008-06-17)
Speed bumps less important than potholes for graphene
For electrical charges racing through an atom-thick sheet of graphene, occasional hills and valleys are no big deal, but the potholes-single-atom defects in the crystal-they're killers. view more (2007-07-13)
