Carbon Nanotube Structures Could Provide More Efficient Solar Power

oeMagazine newscast, 3 Mar 2005 When residents of New York's Manhattan Island ran out of real estate for new construction, they expanded vertically -- using multi-story buildings to get more living space on their compact island. Scientists at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) hope to follow their example, but on a nanometer scale -- building carbon nanotube towers atop photovoltaic cells to extract more power from the sun.
