Although the new technology is expected to have lower efficiency than conventional silicon or cadmium solar cells, the new solar cells will be much cheaper to produce and can cover much larger surfaces. The new liquid solar cells, made of metal nanoparticles, are […]

It consists of an ink made from nanocrystals that can actually be printed on any surface. 250 billion of such solar nanocrystals can easily get along on the heat of a pin. The nanocrystals are made of the semiconductor […]
