Nano-knowledge can lead to super solar cells

(29 Dec 2014) Atomic level changes in nanomaterials are contributing to incredible advances in solar cell and LED technology. NTNU researchers have found a way to design nanowires with a built-in current that will make them even more effective in solar cells.

Cutting solar cell costs by using impure silicon

(22 Oct 2014) Virtually all solar cells rely on highly purified silicon in their manufacture. A team of NTNU researchers has now developed an alternative manufacturing method that can use less pure silicon -- cutting costs substantially.

Nobel Prize awarded to May-Britt and Edvard Moser
