Scientists Work Out Way to Use Nanotechnology to "Grow" Solar Cells

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National
Laboratory have refined a technique to manufacture solar cells by creating tubes
of semiconducting material and then "growing" polymers directly inside
them. The method has the potential to be significantly cheaper than the process
used to make today's commercial solar cells
