The smaller components become, the more difficult it is to create patterns in an economical and reproducible way, according to an interdisciplinary team of Penn State researchers who, using sound waves, can place nanowires in repeatable patterns for potential use in a variety of sensors, optoelectronics and nanoscale circuits.

MIT shows off huge solar cell efficiency boost by throwing nanowires into the mix
2013-03-26 14:32:00| Extremetech
Two research groups, working individually on different projects, have both shown that nanowires could be exactly what the solar power industry needs to compete with fossil fuels in terms of cost effectiveness and power density.

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...
