Flexible nanoantenna arrays capture abundant solar energy

Monday, August 11, 2008 - 04:14 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers have devised an inexpensive way to produce plastic sheets containing billions of nanoantennas that collect heat energy generated by the sun and other sources. The technology, developed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory, is the first step toward a solar energy collector that could be mass-produced on flexible materials.
