Nanowires may boost solar cell efficiency, UC San Diego engineers say

...ntributed one approach to growing nanowires directly on metal. The UCSD electrical engineers grew their InP nanowires on the metal electrode indium tin oxide (ITO) and then covered the nanowire-electrode platform in the organic polymer, P3HT, also known as poly(3-hexylthiophene). The researchers say ...

Engineers make first 'active matrix' display using nanowires

... a potential replacement for silicon in future transparent circuits. The OLEDS consist of the transistors, electrodes made of a material called indium tin oxide and plastic capacitors that store electricity. All of the materials are transparent until activated to emit light. "This could enable applica...

Two nanostructures are better than one

...dual atoms, matter acts quite differently than it does lumped together in bulk. Already they have devised a gas sensor using only nanoparticles of tin oxide. Their process for producing hybrid structures is far superior to the method currently available, and their work advances understanding of ho...
