3D Photovoltaic System Hides Solar Cells from View

Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) announce the completion of a new type of solar cells, one that may not need to be located on traditional surfaces, such as rooftops. The innovation makes use of nanostructures grown directly on optical fibers, and coated with li... [ read more >> ]
