Comments on: Nanotubes may yield greener solar cells http://www.futurity.org/science-technology/nanotubes-could-yield-greener-solar-cells/ Research news from leading universities Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:20:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Bala Subramanian http://www.futurity.org/science-technology/nanotubes-could-yield-greener-solar-cells/comment-page-1/#comment-13719 Bala Subramanian Fri, 25 Jun 2010 14:54:44 +0000 http://futurity.org/?p=4139#comment-13719 The combination of the conventional use of solar power - converting heat to electricity, heat to steam etc., converting light directly to electric current shows that we can sustain societal life with modern ways - without having to give up anything when we switch from fossile fuels to Solar. The production of Solar cells causes more harm to environment than the continued use of fossile fuels does not sound right to me. Any one has information on this point of view (pov)?

Still, I'm left with questions. It sounds like they got more current with higher frequency light. What happens farther up the spectrum? Do you get more current, or do the photons just smash the tube? I want graphs and charts! Other than that, the site looks great. The articles I've seen so far are well written, and I like the simple, functional layout. Opposable thumbs up!

As someone who wants to go into science writing, I know that the science comes before the writing for a reason!

This is so fantastic. I read about this project today. Many thanks to the participating universities for helping get new information out, rather than relying on journalists who often lean toward hype and misinformation rather than fact when it comes to science reporting. I'll be telling everyone I know about this. Just a general post not directly related to this article, but rather the site in general. This is so fantastic. I read about this project today.
