Researchers use carbon nanotubes to make solar cells affordable, flexible

Tuesday, September 27, 2011 - 12:03 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers from Northwestern University have developed a carbon-based material that could revolutionize the way solar power is harvested. The new solar cell material – a transparent conductor made of carbon nanotubes – provides an alternative to current technology, which is mechanically brittle and reliant on a relatively rare mineral.
