Polymer Solar Cells Get First High-Res, 3D Image

In a new study published online in the September 13th issue of the journal Nature Materials, experts at the Eindhoven University of Technology (EUT) and the University of Ulm announced that they had managed to get high-resolution, 3D images of the inside of a polymer solar cell for the first ...
