BC Develops Nanocoax Solar Film

Researchers at Boston College have developed a thin film solar cell that is thick enough to capture light but thinner than most, enabling it to carry a more effective current. Patented last year, the nanocoax was based on a coaxial concept that was originally conceived in the 1800's. Because it is not created with crystalline materials, the cells will be less expensive to create.
