Environmental News Network: Due to some unique physical light absorption properties of nanowires, the limit of how much energy we can utilize from the sun's rays is higher than previous believed. These results demonstrate the great potential of development of nanowire-based solar cells, says PhD Peter Krogstrup on the surprising discovery that is described in the journal Nature Photonics. The research groups have during recent years studied how to develop and improve the quality of the nanowire crystals, which is a cylindrical...
