R. Colin Johnson PORTLAND, Ore. By growing arrays of silicon wires in a polymer substrate, researchers have demonstrated what they say are flexible solar cells that absorb up to 96 percent of incident light. Photomicrograph of a silicon wire array ...

Brighter LEDs and better solar cells could be developed using the least reflective coating ever made. Researchers found that depositing an array of angled silicon-dioxide nanorods on a surface dramatically reduces its refractive index a measure of ...
