Now scientists are working on metallic nanoparticles to manipulate light in more effective ways than conventional optical materials to tap extra energy from the sunlight. Rice University researchers are paying attention to cup-shaped gold nanostructures that can bend light in a more manipulative manner. Here the cup behaves like three-dimensional nano-antennas. The gold nanocups interrelate with light in two major ways: axially, the up-down direction, or transverse, the left-right track. The t

It’s an old idea: roof shingles that not only keep your home dry but capture solar power and convert it to electricity. But a Tucson, Ariz., solar firm and the world’s largest chemical company are partners in a newer approach. Global Solar Energy of Tucson manufactures a thin, flexible photovoltaic film. read more
