Nature's Blueprint for Going Green
September 11, 2009 - Solar power may be the answer to our society's dependence on fossil fuels. Michael Wasielewski and his team of researchers in the Weinberg College's Department of Chemistry are looking at nature’s model for converting sunlight into usable energy—photosynthesis—to design the basis for new and innovative solar cells. (More...)
Our Solar Future
September 11, 2009 - For solar power to emerge as our renewable energy solution, the price must be right. How are researchers working to make solar energy less expensive and more widespread? (More...)
NU EFRC to be part of ANSER
April 29, 2009 - Professor Michael Wasielewski will lead the EFRC that will be part of the existing Argonne-Northwestern Solar Energy Research (ANSER) Center, a center that is one of several ever-strengthening links between Northwestern and Argonne. More…
Radial Electron Collection in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
February 24, 2009 - A promising new dye-sensitized solar cell photoanode design in which electrons radially diffuse through the wall of semiconducting tubes and are efficiently collected at an adjacent, concentric ITO tube has been experimentally realized. More…
Start-Up Solarmer Eyes Solar-Cell Advance
January 26, 2009 - Solarmer Energy is using technology from UCLA and the University of Chicago to develop polymer-based solar cells that are more efficient at converting sunlight to electricity. More…
Method Sorts Out Double-Walled Carbon Nanotube Problem
December 15, 2008 - It’s hard to study something with any rigor if the subject can’t be produced uniformly and efficiently. Researchers who study double-walled carbon nanotubes -- nanomaterials with promising technological applications -- find themselves in just this predicament. More… Cover image...
Study: Coating Hikes Solar Cell Function
February 26, 2008 - U.S. scientists have developed an anode coating strategy that significantly enhances the efficiency of solar energy power conversion. More…
The Sun Also Rises in NU Energy Research Centers
Fall 2007 - Why is there talk of an energy crisis, some ask, when enough sunlight falls on the earth's surface each day to more than meet our energy needs? More…
