Tag: nanotechnologyThin-Film Solar with High Efficiency Solexant is printing inorganic solar cells with nanomaterials. Making Carbon Nanotubes into Long Fibers Researchers have taken a step towards making carbon nanotubes into transmission lines. Wrapping Solar Cells around an Optical Fiber Dye-sensitized cells get a double boost from nanowires and optical fiber. Nano Ink Boost for Silicon Solar Inkjet-printed silicon increases solar-cell efficiency. Chips that use graphite show promise for storing more bits than flash memory. A rolling nanoimprint lithography stamp could be used to print components for displays and solar cells. Surface-plasmon lasers could enable a new generation of computers based on nanophotonics. The repulsive side of an optical force could lead to ultra-fast telecommunications. A new material could eventually be used to store vast amounts of data on a disc. A Hybrid Nano-Energy Harvester The device harnesses both sunlight and mechanical energy. A new three-dimensional device sorts and separates nanoparticles by size. Nanofibers Power Attoscale Chemistry A new way to perform experiments using just thousands of molecules. Carbon nanotubes that respond to visible light might mean better solar cells and artificial retinas. A Better Way to Make Nano Stuff Durable molds could serve as a practical manufacturing tool in making nano devices. First Light-Driven Nanomachine A silicon nanobeam uses optical force to do mechanical work in an integrated circuit. |
