Re: [Sci.nanotech] Re: Nanotube solar panels?


Very clear, thanks to all!

probably the most important non-rocket space

There is also a new class of solar panels that use 3
(translucent) layers of different types of cells to
capture 3 different wavelengths of light. I think the
tested performance was 60% or is theoretically 60%.

In the capacitor example, adding
nanotechnology "hairs" to
the capacitor enabled it to provide the performance
of a capacitor
geometrically larger.

I was
wondering if anyone was working doing researching to
make that
possible.
