Tag: thin films[1]
A startup is making thin-film solar cells on flexible steel sheets. Dense films of carbon nanotubes store large amounts of energy. Better Solar for Big Buildings A startup is selling cylindrical solar cells that can generate more power than conventional panels. Pillowy Antibacterial Polymers Researchers have discovered that if the films coating medical devices are soft enough, bacteria won't stick to them. A cheap polymer material increases the power output of methanol fuel cells by 50 percent. A simple way to deposit thin films of carbon could lead to cheaper solar cells. [1]
