Solar’s “Thick and Thin” Dilemma: Will Nanoscale Architecture Fix It?
Physicists at Boston College havediscovered a possible means to solving solar technology’s "thick andthin" dilemma. First reported in the online science journal collection, Physica Status Solidi, the nanoscale coax architecture, or nanocoax, takes its cue from radio technology (coaxial cables) that goes as far back as the mid 1800′s. Researchers at Boston College invented nanocoax [...]
