University of Illinois researchers discovered a method to manufacture three-dimensional, single-crystalline silicon solar cells from thin films. They used photolithography and a process driven by capillary interaction that made the micron-thick film to bend around itself.

Cornell University and DuPont research team started working on a project which will probably revolutionize the electronics industry. The goal is to go to thinner, lighter and more flexible transistors and solar cells. With the use of nanotubes, an economical electronics material will be made which should be as good as silicon.

This is great news. William Yuan, a 12 year-old from Beaverton, Oregon, has made an innovation in the 3D solar cells production that could provide 500 times more light absorption than commercially-available solar cells and nine times more than cutting-edge 3D solar cells. It may sound weird, but, at his age, he studied nanotechnology.
