Boston College Scientists Use Nanoscale Architecture to Make Efficient Solar Cell

Nanoscale Coax solves 'Thick & Thin' solar cell dilemma.

A nano-scale solar cell inspired by the coaxial cable offers greater efficiency than any previously designed nanotech thin film solar cell by resolving the “thick & thin” challenge inherent to capturing light and extracting current for solar power, Boston College researchers report in the current online edition of the journal Physica Status Solidi.
