ScienceDaily: "Our findings are the first to show that it really is possible to use nanowires to manufacture solar cells," says Magnus Borgström, a researcher in semiconductor physics and the principal author. Research on solar cell nanowires is on the rise globally. Until now the unattained dream figure was ten per cent efficiency -- but now Dr Borgström and his colleagues are able to report an efficiency of 13.8 per cent. The nanowires are made of the semiconductor material indium phosphide and work like...
